Dr. Otter Reflection | Madison Lubman

I enjoyed Dr. Otter’s presentation further discussing Kuhn’s work. I appreciated him explaining the book in simpler terms and concepts to help the class better understand the meaning behind the words. It was a very interesting presentation that focused on the paradigm shift and evolution of science throughout time. It is quite fascinating that particular shifts change the entire course of science and the way people view certain topics. This results in changing views and the experiments conducted. It makes me contemplate what shifts will happen in the future related to relevant science now. There has been a large technology boom within the past 20 years or so. I wonder if a certain discovery will affect the entire technology industry. It also makes me think of how accurate the information we are currently studying. The concept of paradigm shifts in general is thought-provoking, and Dr. Otter helped better showcase the interesting points of it and Kuhn’s ideas.
