Abstract: Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge,’ said renown astronomer and communicator Carl Sagan. Science changes how one sees, interprets, and experiences the world. That concept goes far beyond the pursuit of the next paper or promotion; it touches researcher’s role in society. After covering Arts and Philosophy, Think is delving into such discoveries with 27 pages dedicated to science.2018-01-01T00:00:00ZScience, dance, and Scotlandhttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/658272020-12-15T13:10:48Z2018-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Science, dance, and Scotland
Abstract: What if I told you that I could explain why the sky is blue through dance? All I would need is a fiddle player, a flautist, and a guitarist. By the end of it, we would all be dancing around like particles, hopefully with a better understanding of how the world around us works. This is exactly what neuroscientist and fiddle player Dr Lewis Hou does on a daily basis.2018-01-01T00:00:00ZUnderwater eyeshttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/658262020-12-15T13:09:57Z2018-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Underwater eyes
Abstract: Water covers 70% of Earth’s surface, but our oceans and seas might as well be alien planets. According to estimates, we’ve only explored about 5% of them so far. Crazy depths and dangerous conditions prevent humans from venturing into the unknown simply because we would be unable to survive. However, these limitations are being overcome. Drone technology can safely explore what lurks beneath the waves, and the Physical Oceanography Research Group from the Department of Geosciences at the University of Malta (UM) are doing just that.2018-01-01T00:00:00Z
