What cultural disparities are highlighted through the Arrernte hunting the cattle on European farms? Select all answers that are correct.

Science is indeed a culture. There are, of course, many aspects of science that what we might call largely free of culture. For example the statistical techniques we use to analyse data or the units we use. However, even those have elements of the history of what we can call Western science (e.g. units are named after famous people and came about a certain way - ever seen a woman with a 30 cm foot?). We also sometimes use the term mainstream science in this unit. We must remember that not all of Australia's scientific practices come from more than just write European settlement. Some practices are definitely cultural. Have you heard of an academic poster session? Have a look at that link and tell me that isn't a little weird. Or peer review. This practice generally lets the reviewer know who they are reviewing but they don't disclose who they are which leads to less than civil feedback on more than the odd occasion. 

Reflect on how you think about science as a field.

Does it feel right for you to think about there being a culture to science?  

How does it feel? 

What, if anything, are rethinking?

Practice using the reflective cycle to think about this point. Look to write 150-250 words but if you end up with more or you just get a good dot point for each of the six steps that's fine too. This exercise should take 10-20 minutes.

Match the names to their significance.
