LEARN

Scientists depend on books, journal articles, technology, experimental procedures, technical readings. In addition, scienctists must be able to analyze their sources of information, integrate that information with what they already know and understand, use strategies to construct interpretations of the information analyzed, synthesize that information into new meaning in the form of graphs, charts, written documents, and communicate their findings. Pulling and sharing information from computers--email with colleagues around the globe, from real data-base, research websites--are important skills!


The advancement of information technologies have impacted the way the scientists learn. These new information technologies speed up data collection, make analysis faster and new kinds of analysis timely, and increase the number of discoveries, applications and transfer knowledge.
