and searching investigation of human interests goes to the heart
of the question of the social credibility and ongoing viability of
science. Our focus theme for 2015 ‘Educating Science’ is
interested in how ‘science’ educates and is educated by the social
world. Within this dynamic, how does the teaching of scientific
methodologies help produce better students, citizens and community
leaders? And what are the feedback loops connecting science and
the social worlds of teachers and learners?</p>
