    • Wissenschaft

On this show, we’ve been talking about uncertainty from a variety of different angles.
We’ve heard how uncertainty can be a spark for creativity and scientific discovery.
We’ve discussed how uncertainty can go unseen and make science really difficult.
And we’ve explored some of the research techniques and habits of mind that researchers use to deal with uncertainty.
Today we’re going to end with two final questions: If science is always uncertain, how can we ever know anything? How can we have confidence in science if there’s always underlying uncertainty?
