Interactive Telecommunications Program

 ITP stand for Interactive Telecommunications Program. How dose science relate to a technologist,designers,engineers and a artist ? Science all relates back to these 4 stakeholder because everything they make or form all leads back to science. My learning target for this science project is : I can analyze the value and work of alternative stakeholders in science. A stakeholder is someone who gathers information. Five alternative identified by ITP was : 1. A Technologist which  is a person who uses scientific knowledge to solve practical problems. 2. A designers which is a person who plans the form, look, or workings of something before its being made or built, typically by drawing it in detail. 3. A engineer which is a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works. 4 A artist which is a person who practices any of the various creative arts, such as a sculptor, novelist, poet, or filmmaker. And last but not least 5. A scientist which is a person who is studying or has expert knowledge of one or more of the natural or physical sciences.

Whos Responsibility Is It To Inform The Public?

Im going to argue my claim on how I think the government should be responsible for any information that the public sholud know. Believe it or not, if the goverment spilled every little thing that was happening in the world, we the people would be running around like chickens with no heads? Im I right? There are many reasons why I believe this but, here are some top 4 questions I have that can maybe clear things up a bit. Who is responsible for communicating science? I believe the government (science.gov). . Other question would be: Why do I think this? Because in many cases they fund lots of money , also provides a search of over 55 scientific databases and 200 million pages of science information with just one query. Also: How can they communicate effectively? Science.gov is an intergency initative of 17 U.S. government science organizarions within 13 Federal Agencies. And the last one: What types of media dose the government use? Well the government use 7 different ways which are:
1. Provides a search of over 55 scientific databases and 200 million pages of science information with just one query.
2. Clustering of results by subtopics,authors,orbates to help target your search.
3. Image search
4. Updated Alerts service
5. Aggregated Science News
6. Twitter
7. Facebook
But this is why I feel, that the government is responsible for any information that the public sholud know. If you feel different please feel free to post comments, Stay tuned for more updates!

Sercert Life Of A Scientists.

To understand science and how people are involved in scientific work,we will conduct background research into the lives and work of real scientists. We went out and initate a dialogue with these important in science. We research about the scientistist but we wanted more answers, what we had was not enough! We wanted to know deeper information about them like,( What are your hobbies?. What high school did you attend? What was your favorite subject in high school? What was your least favorite subject in high school? Did you get good grades as a high school student? What year in high school was your favorite? As a scientist, how do you balance your work life with you social life? Do you like your job? If yes, why? What's your favorite thing about being a scientist? ) Things like this was what we wanted to know about them and also more questions like this: Who inspired you to pursue your career?What college did you attend?What was your favorite thing about college?Did you make a good long-term friend in college? Why or why not?Do you have any advice to people who are seeking to become scientists?Were there any obstacles stopping you to become a scientist? Why or why not?What is your favorite book?What was the last book you read?Do you have any collections?Would you recommend your career to any one? Why or why not?What’s one thing fun about you that your co-workers wouldn’t know about you? We wanted to get down and dirty. But sadly we are also waiting for 3 scientists to get back to us. Stay tuned !

 

Secret Life Of Scientists

In the project " The secret life of scientists " we will be getting background research on real scientists and asking many questions about them and what they do.

Are the candidates sending effctive message about their stances on science issues.

Are the candidates sending effctive message about their stances on science issues? Well,I have done my research and I would say both candidates are being half scientific as well as half effective. With Romney I felt he took this question, as a non-important matter, as well as making smart remarks.Romney stated '' I am not a scientist myself.''Which mean he has no idea what he would do for science.Also Obama says '' global warming , ''is one of the biggest issues of this generation.''Obama has an idea of some of our problems, our society is going though.Although both candidates have no set plans for us, Romney says he would like ''support ''robust'' government funding for research and Obama would like to add more teacher for science and math classes.If they would president that would be there plans.But, lets see who actually sticks to them if you know what i mean.

We will be making a blog about the presidential election and also trying to figure out how science plays a big role in our society. Also answering questions like are our Candidates for the election commitment to science in any effective way ? And which candidates are presenting a message that we can relate to? Also many more questions :)
