I find that I have developed a new view of the scientific process and what it means to be a scientist through this class. There is such a deification of science in this country that I never would have considered myself to be a scientist before attending this class but now, well, I think I'm beginning to discover that science is simply what you observe and what you get from those observations. at the beginning of the class prof Grobstein talked about how every child is a scientist and that telling stories about the natural world could constitute as a scientific endeaver. If someone like Whitman can be a scientist then why not me? The redefinition of myself as a scientist has been surprisingly profound for the way I view myself and my major. I never thought I would find that through a class on stories. I am a scientist. huh.
