In her piece Science Doesn’t Find Truth, it Understands Change, Lori Chandler highlights the perception that science continually changes, which then leads to a general mistrust of ever-changing scientific hypotheses and conclusions. However, as Chandler points out, it is not science per se that changes, rather, it is our understanding of it that is modified. Old theories are not surprisingly tossed or refined based on new and evolving methods of investigation and evaluation. As the tools become more sophisticated, so do we. After all, to err is human, not science.
