I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Boron Zone. It has a range of scientists studying all different topics. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
In science there are always doubts, but our goal is to reduce them as much as we can. We spend a lot of time figuring out how certain we are that our measurements and theories are correct. We will always quote a probability that some is true or not (to the best of our understanding).
One of the great things about science is that our theories not only try to match what is observed in the Universe, but also make predictions about what else we expect to see. That way we can keep testing them! If prediction does not come true or an effect is not seen when we thought it should be, then we either have to modify our theory or throw it out and start again.
