The first in the Focus Series on Global Science Education, The Whys
of a Scientific Life examines why scientists do what they do.
Working from a diverse background in scientific research, including
academic departments of physics and chemistry, as well as the
scientific civil service, the author describes the choices
scientists make. Fundamentally, a scientist asks questions based on
curiosity. In addition, the environment is very important. By
influencing their elected governments, society itself shapes the
scientific research that is undertaken by scientists. This book
follows on naturally from the author's last book, Skills for a
Scientific Life, which is a how-to guide for scientists and those
that aspire to engage in science as a career. Key Features: User
friendly and concise, this text dissects the whys of science and
discovery The author has outstanding experience in mentoring
science students and staff, and also in outreach activities for the
public and students of all ages including schools The final chapter
emphasises the joys of the scientist in research
