Scientific Investigation
Name the researchers who challenged the prevailing belief that stress and diet were the primary causes of peptic ulcers.
MARSHALL AND WARREN
-State the technology and scientists whose work contributed to advancements in cancer treatment and ancestry discovery through radiation research.
Rosalin Franklin, Marie Curie and X-ray Diffraction
A scientific claim is considered strong when repeated experiments produce similar results.
reliability
This process ensures that scientific research follows ethical guidelines and prevents harmful experimentation.
scientific regulation
This principle states that correlation does not necessarily imply causation, preventing misleading conclusions in research.
causation vs. correlation
State the inventor responsible for developing the first microwave oven based on his observations of electromagnetic waves
Spencer
Identify the scientific breakthrough that helped refine particle physics and improve radiation therapy techniques.
Hadron Collider and Higgs Boson
This factor determines whether an experiment truly measures what it is intended to test.
validity
This major environmental disaster led to increased scepticism about nuclear energy and stricter safety regulations.
the Chernobyl disaster
This scientist's accidental discovery of penicillin in 1928 revolutionized medicine by leading to antibiotics.
Alexander Fleming
