The article I chose to look at for this blog is called “Truth and Beauty of Science” by Ashutosh Jogalekar and in this piece of text he talks about the perspectives of beauty in different variations of science. Jogalekar talks about how beauty depends on what field of science you’re looking at. He also talks about one of his favorite science writers, Philip Ball. In this text, Jogalekar informs us what Ball’s ideas are towards science and beauty and he incorporates Ball’s ideas with his own. I will use this article to show how beauty can be intertwined in every aspect of science, whether its physics or chemistry or whatever topic of science there is.
I will be choosing two of my classmates podcasts to use in my essay. I have decided to use Liam Darcy’s and Tehya Casey’s because out of all the podcasts we have listened too, they are the ones I can comprehend the most. Both podcasts sparked ideas in me for our next upcoming paper, and I really enjoyed the people they interviewed answers to the questions because they seemed emotionally attached to what they were talking about, and gave me a different perspective on beauty in other peoples lives. Both podcasts talk about completely different aspects of beauty, one talks about the New England coast and how scenic and beautiful it is. Then, the other one talks about someone recovering from bad choices. These podcasts that I chose will hopefully give me a better understanding of beauty as a whole.
