Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

With this lecture, students will be aware of the studies carried out not only in their fields but also in other fields such as Physics, Chemistry and Psychology. It is aimed to increase the students' interest in scientific research, since especially interesting studies in history will be discussed. In addition, some recent Nobel prizes and the content of the works will be focused on and it will be ensured that the students will generate ideas on the subjects. Students will examine scientific research and will be encouraged to think about the implications of its outcomes for the future of humanity.

Course Content:

Definition and characteristics of science, a brief overview of scientific developments in the 19th and 20th centuries, science and research, scientific research method steps, Nobel prize, Nobel prize winners, important Nobel prizes in health in recent history.
