[MD] set science free

[MarshaV]

From To The Best of Our Knowledge:

Is science really the realm of free inquiry, open to every good idea?  Controversial biologist Rupert Sheldrake says modern science is mired in various dogmas - boundaries you're not supposed to cross, at least if you value your job and your reputation.

Why do new scientific ideas suddenly catch on and change how we see the world?  Fifty years ago, Thomas Kuhn called this a "paradigm shift."  University of Wisconsin historian of science Tom Broman reflects on Kuhn's influence, and we hear excerpts from his landmark book, "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions."
