Joining us today from the UK is Dr. Jerome Ravetz, a scholar and researcher who has written and taught about the history and philosophy of science for decades. We discuss the question of uncertainty in science, and how that uncertainty is dealt with (or avoided) by the scientific community. We also discuss his latest article, “Sociology of science: Keep standards high” about how new technologies are changing the face of scientific discourse and what this democratization means for the future of science.
