EDITORIAL:
Moving on into 2016 it’s time once again for Whewell’s Gazette your weekly #histSTM links list bringing all of the histories of science, technology and medicine that we could find in the infinite depths of cyberspace.
This is the twenty-sixth edition of the second year of Whewell’s Gazette meaning the year is half full or half empty depending on your point of view. We view ourselves as part of the on going infinite science show.
Quotes of the week:
“I would like 2016 to be the year in which people stop asserting that there is “a method” of science”. – Oliver Usher (@ojusher)
“Science is indeed merely a method of investigation. But it is the best one for answering many important questions”. – Christopher Chabris (@cfchabris)
“Repeat after me: pharma being shit does not mean magic beans cure cancer.” – Ben Goldacre (@bengoldacre)
“Man is a genius when he is dreaming”. — Akira Kurosawa h/t @berfois
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop”. – Confucius
“Plato is my friend—Aristotle is my friend—but my greatest friend is truth.” – Isaac Newton h/t @wordnik
“Someone who wants to learn logic from language is like an adult who wants to learn how to think from a child.”— Frege h/t @GuyLongworth
“On this day in 1961, Erwin Schrödinger may or may not have died. We’ll only know if we open his coffin and collapse the wave function”. – John J. McKay (@archymck)
“History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.” – Karl Marx h/t @ferwen
“…it really pisses me off when people say “medieval” = synonym for crude, uncivilised, primitive. Use your eyes, people”. – Caroline Shenton (@dustshoveller)
“As Twitter awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, it found itself transformed into a gigantic Facebook”. – Elena Epaneshnik (@ElenaEpaneshnik)
“Alexander Pope thought that bad writing was a ‘morbid secretion from the brain’ … he might be right – at least on some writing days”. Andrea Wulf (@Andrea_Wulf)
“Historians don’t have the luxury to decide certain people out of existence.” – Paul Halliday h/t @jotis
“I don’t believe in the Malaria theory and doubt very much if there is any such thing a Malaria” – Henderson 1872 h/t @KewDC
“Hear hear. Philosophy of science has traditionally been too dominated by physicists”. – Philip Ball (@philipcball)
“Though better known for his work on philosophy, Karl Popper also pioneered the recreational use of Amyl Nitrate TrueFacts” – Peter Coles (@telescoper)
“Synonym has no synonym. Anagram has no anagram. Onomatopoeia doesn’t sound like what it means. But portmanteau is a portmanteau. Phew”. – @WardQNormal
“The most important thing a University has to teach you is that no matter how much you know, it’s never enough”. – Peter Coles (@telescoper)
Ne’r marry one with a wey Beard,
He is of the fumbling Crew;
Of such I’ve oft times heard,
they little or nothing can do – 1685 h/t @DrAlun
