A Changing Climate for ScienceAn Invitation to the Challenge

A Changing Climate for Science: An Invitation to the Challenge [Lewis addresses the shortcomings of antiquated understandings of scientific knowledge production outlined throughout this book. In response to these limitations, Lewis presents a set of shared commitments to science that allow scientists traditionally robust and testable scientific approaches but also permit transparency and curiosity to be valued. By demonstrating that these commitments allow a range of scientific practice, Lewis centres diversity as a great strength of scientific inquiry. Lewis argues that just as climate change poses challenges and opportunities to society, so too does climate science challenge science more broadly. In presenting this challenge, Lewis invites scientists to respond and discuss in order to meet society’s changing needs for science in responding to contemporary global issues.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Lewis addresses the shortcomings of antiquated understandings of scientific knowledge production outlined throughout this book. In response to these limitations, Lewis presents a set of shared commitments to science that allow scientists traditionally robust and testable scientific approaches but also permit transparency and curiosity to be valued. By demonstrating that these commitments allow a range of scientific practice, Lewis centres diversity as a great strength of scientific inquiry. Lewis argues that just as climate change poses challenges and opportunities to society, so too does climate science challenge science more broadly. In presenting this challenge, Lewis invites scientists to respond and discuss in order to meet society’s changing needs for science in responding to contemporary global issues.]
