Has traditional philanthropy had its day? Berkeley: University of California Press. Longino HE: Science as Social Knowledge: Values and Objectivity in Scientific Inquiry. The great unsolved problems of your time look like missing puzzle pieces, while the tools, equations and current theories begin to look like misshapen pieces that don't quite fit where they're supposed to.

I think there have been some successes, but a lot of Science is a combination of gathering facts and making theories; neither can progress on its own. Progress and its problems: Toward a theory of scientific growth. It's true there's been a lot of work on trying to apply statistical models to various linguistic problems. Notes & Theories science blog According to Houssin, and the Tracking Clean Energy Progress report 2013 published by IEA this spring, we are not on track to avoid the serious consequences of climate change. This observational study and literature review aggregate what is known regarding the quantity and quality of terrestrial ecosystems - particularly old-growth and primary forests - necessary to sustain the biosphere. An international group of astronomers believe they have answered the question of how young stars are able to fuel the growth of their own stars.
