Writing
on Science and Society
This
course uses a variety of material, from Bill Joy's recent article
in Wired magazine, "Why the Future Doesn't Need
Us," to Stanley Kubrick's cinematic critique of nuclear
proliferation, "Dr. Strangelove," as the starting
points for critical essays on science and society. Additionally,
each student will write a grant proposal based on her own scientific
research. The students' primary goal for this last project will
be to make their (often complex) research intelligible to scientists
in other fields, and even to a non-scientific audience.
