  • Science is a learning process that involves experimentation, failure and revision -- and the science of medicine is no exception. Cancer researcher Kevin B. Jones faces the deep unknowns about surgery and medical care with a simple answer: honesty. In a thoughtful talk about the nature of knowledge, Jones shows how science is at its best when scientists humbly admit what they do not yet understand.

    Actually, curiosity is the key of everything not just science. I'm a musician, and I have learned everything I wanted. only because I was and still am curious!

      Hello
      I would love to introduce you to Islam, please, as we believe that there is only one God, since God is the one who created us and created the heavens and the earth and everything, and sent us honorable messengers to teach us the way to worship God and God Almighty, the Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent He is the last of the prophets, and we have a lot of evidence to prove that the Qur'an that our master Muhammad came with is from God, a lot of evidence, but as I introduce you to the religion quickly, I will give you some scientific verses, such as:
      God says in the Qur'an
      (And the mountains as pegs?)
      The peg is what is planted in the sand to install the tents, and the mountains reach their extension to the layer below the rocky layer that makes up the continents. The earth would have been in a state of permanent turmoil, and this is one of the most prominent forms of scientific miracles in the Holy Qur'an, which science has recently discovered, and it indicates the sincerity of the Prophet - may God's prayers and peace be upon him - and what he brought from the words of God - the Most High - in the Holy Qur'an.
      And also
      God Almighty said in the Noble Qur'an: And after that He spread the earth.) It is the analogy to chicken eggs, which is the most accurate description of the earth, so how did our Master Muhammad know that the earth is round and that it is in this shape,
      Of course, there are thousands of evidence if you want to read and read, and God willing, you will find the truth, and you will not find it except in the Qur’an and Islam.
      I ask God to guide you to the truth
      If you have a question or want help, please let me know

    Kevin Jones made some great points on how certain people may view the accessibility that we have to healthcare as whole in his talk, whether he knew it or not. He made a statement, “We start to measure the quality of our health care by how quickly we can access it”. This could not be more spot-on. With the new technology these days on highways you can now see billboards in certain areas that will advertise the wait time for the local ER waiting room. Great idea, yet bad idea. If someone sees that a wait is up to 2 hours; they will more than likely start to make rude comments or criticize. Having a long wait time isn’t saying anything badly about the reputation of the hospital, however, people more than likely will not choose to go there. People are quick to judge when it comes to health care and how readily accessible it is. Almost always I hear people “self-diagnosing” themselves while they plug in all of their symptoms online. Not saying that isn’t bad, however, also not reliable. To play the devil’s advocate on this, one should not always go to the internet to seek medical advice. Sometimes a quick phone call to the doctor’s office could do the trick, and if they find that it is needed, they may ask for you to stop in. When it comes to the medical field, there is not one “correct” answer to one problem. There are many different options, and possible solutions it seems like.
    Curiosity plays a key role in the health field overall. Jones talked about experiments at the end when he had to perform the invasive surgery on the woman with cancer. He tells us to seek curiosity within our health professionals. Meaning, talk with them, let them talk to you. They cannot tell you what they do not know, but can tell you when they do not know. He encourages us to join in the conversation with them, and to not just become a patient, but to become a scientist in our “profession”. Meaning, if you have lung cancer, learn about it! Be curious about it, and have conversations with your medical team about it. Never too late.

    Curiosity is the key to life. The more we are curious the longer we live. Look at the cavemen who were curious about how to make fire. Thanks to them humans have survived. Look at Tesla who was curious about light and energy. Thanks to him we are able to have light during the night. Look at Einstein, Aristotle, and many more people who were curious about life who have helped humanity transcend and survive.

    "science is at its best when scientists humbly admit what they do not yet understand" This is where religion falls flat when it claims to be explaining anything about our universe. The religions of the world claim to have the answers (straight from god), and aren't interested in learning anything that might upset the story.
    They have fought innovation and discovery at nearly every chance, and still today push back against scientific progress in a number of areas.
