No. 37 · Spring 2013
Fuhr recounts how a one-credit Becoming Biologists course at Augustana College was rebuilt around the biological worldview after a student flagged John Janovy Jr.’s argument that values are legitimate tools in biology. Drawing also on Stephen Jay Gould’s The Mismeasure of Man, she argues that visions and values—not skills alone—inspire a life’s work in science and provide the foundation for lifetime engagement in the work of biology.
