Every day we are bombarded with information about health issues, new vaccines and medicines, ecological problems, and other issues related to biological research. This information comes at us from a myriad of diverse sources, including friends, healthcare providers, the media, your neighbors, and the Internet. As you gain a deeper understanding of life and the processes that sustain it, you will be able to more effectively sort through and interpret this deluge of information, and make informed decisions about your health and how you interact with the environment.
For this discussion, watch a news broadcast, read a newspaper, jump on the internet, etc…. and identify a recent news article that is based on biologically connected information. Briefly summarize the news item in a couple of sentences, and then generate a list of 5 questions you might want to ask to better clarify the biological science news that is being put in front of you. The development of critical thinking is imperative to moving past blind acceptance of new biological information.
