That thing some people do,
And everyone else benefits from it.
Science is a method of capturing and organizing knowledge gained through observation and experimentation its results are testable, repeatable, measurable, and predictive.
It starts with a question,
An idea that scratches at some past observation.
Some previously captured knowledge,
And asks why… asks how… asks how often…
A hypothesis is formed,
Maybe this interaction is involved…
maybe that gene…
Maybe it only happens under this condition.
An experiment is designed,
Limiting the interaction… deleting the gene…
Removing a suspected cause.
Observations are made,
Data is collected,
Unbiased analysis applied,
All to prove the hypothesis wrong,
Or capture new knowledge.
The process repeats over and over again,
Advancing our understanding of everything.
In iterations,
One study at a time,
All so that the world can enjoy,
This Week in Science!
