This is some fact I wanted to share with you guys. In the last Geneva 37th Inventor’s Fair, the top 11 inventors were Saudis’! They weren’t only males, there was a good number of females…interesting. So where is the level of science at in the Muslim World? Most of you know how in the Islamic […]
This guy clearly needs to take our class. http://www.nature.com/news/specials/islamandscience/index.html This gives you a good chance to read about how Islamic science is perceived in modern day. It also has a PodCast link to it. The article talks about how the taking over of an “Islamist” rule is going to affect the scientists of the Islamic […]
Hi again, ok so this is cool, in the 12th grade Saudi Chemistry book I found the method Jaber Bin Hayyan was following in all his experiments and they are as follows: 1- Decide the purpose of the experiment and strictly follow the rules of the procedures. 2- AVOID WHAT’S IMPOSSIBLE AND WITH NO DIRECT […]
Hi all, Good job on achieving our objective in finding the mysterious painting referring to Ibn Sina (Reem broke the Da Vinci code), but have we asked ourselves how many of these should have been credited to Ibn Sina? I’m not saying Mr. Leonardo didn’t do his job, but let’s just think about how he […]
Hi Guys, I just found this video on YouTube which basically summarizes the purpose and content of our entire class. It’s only 7ish minutes long so check it out. I think it is a really great guide when doing the introduction portions of our posters. It is very true to fact and emphasizes that Islamic […]
This video really has no relavence to the class it’s just funny. But I did find a video that has Iqbal(text author) in it. It is a debate between him, another lady and one of those scientists who sees no bonds between religion and science. From the begiinning I was impressed with Iqbal’s writing and […]
Hey guys i found this interesting article on BBC news. The article is titled “chemists’ opt-out over beliefs: your comments.” This article talks about how some pharmacists in the UK are no longer giving out or supplying drugs that are seen as prohibited in their personal. Obviously the big opt-outs are morning-after pill and contraception. […]
So I’m in the midst of putting together my presentation about Chemistry during Islamic Civilizations and I thought I would look up a timeline to better place the contributions of Islamic chemists in the context of the overall development of the science. Apparently, there aren’t any. Let’s just say I’m extremely disturbed. I don’t mean […]
Hi Guys, here is my wiki assignment on Islamic Bioethics. I created a new page so there is no before and after. Hilary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Bioethics
I have constructed a new page about the Islamic Contributions to the European Renaissance. There was nothing before my addition so nothing has been changed it is simply a new addition. The pages that could have been a suitable place to insert this paper were locked by Wikipedia – i.e. editing wasn’t allowed for Copernicus […]
