Elizabeth Connor dives into the philosophy of science with Prof. William Gosling, treasurer of the British Association and Emeritus Professor of communications engineering at the University of Bath and Helen Haste, a vice president of the BA and psychology lecturer also at Bath. They question the place of emotion and intuition in science. Is science an exclusively rational affair? Are women really more in touch with their emotions? Does this make them better at science? Do we need to rethiink our definition of science? The two Professors share their challenging and insightful views.
