To focus on implicit bias in teaching, students must find and share short summaries of research on implicit bias, stereotype threat, or other indications of bias or inequities found in classroom teaching. There are many examples to share from the history of science on this topic. A female friendly science classroom.

A lot of science—and technology—has been constructed specifically around computationally reducible phenomena. And that’s for example why things like mathematical formulas have been able to be as successful in science as they have. It’s not exactly “solving science”, and it wouldn’t even allow one to “discover the unexpected”.

It began partly as an empirical law, and partly as something abstractly constructed on the basis of the idea of molecules, that nobody at the time knew for sure existed. But what’s important for our purposes here is that in the setup Carnot constructed he basically ended up introducing the Second Law.
