The Importance Of Scientific Objectivity In Science By Dr. James Mickle

In the natural sciences, writers conduct experiments, make and record observations, and report on their work in an effort to better understand the natural world. The natural sciences include a number of sub fields, including medicine, mathematics, physics and engineering, to name a few. Dr. James Mickle of North Carolina State University has been teaching in the sub field of biology since 1987. His research specializes in "whole-plant” taxonomy of fossil plants, conifer taxonomy and phylogeny, growth and development in fossil plant vegetative organs, and angiosperm fossil fruits taxonomy. Dr. Mickle stated that his research has been concentrated on fossil plants from eastern North America and southern Europe, and has been involved in extensive museum

Science writing must show its readers that it’s offering an important contribution which could come off as argumentative piece. Uniting impartiality and argumentative writing can be puzzling. Scientific objectivity has two parts; your hypothesis must be testable and your results must be reproducible (Principles of Writing in the Science’s). It is still essential to make a solid case for the relevance and importance of your research. When Dr. Mickle was asked about the first major encounter he had with natural science writing his response was, “I published my undergraduate thesis. It was memorable in that it was reviewed by the committee with their comments, and then I sat down with the editor of the journal who was a very blunt person. It was humbling to say the least but it did result in my first publication”. Dr. Mickle explained that his major expectation for his students is that they will learn from their mistakes. The whole point of a learning environment is to learn, so he expects to see is improvement over
