Human science

Human science is the study and elucidation of the encounters, exercises, builds, and antiques connected with people. The investigation of the human sciences endeavors to stretch and illuminate the person's information of their presence, its interrelationship with different species and frameworks, and the advancement of curios to sustain the human interpretation and thought. It is the investigation of human phenomena. The investigation of the human experience is verifiable and present in nature. It requires the assessment and understanding of the memorable human experience and the examination of current human action to increase an understanding of human phenomena and to extend the diagrams of human advancement. Human science is the goal, educated scrutinize of human presence and how it identifies with reality.

Science of Perfection

Perfect can be defined as having all the requisite or preferred elements and qualities that make one the preeminent. It is not having any imperfection or flaw of any kind. It also means being accurate, exact and without any error. 

Perfection is, generally, a state of completeness and flawlessness. The term "perfection" is in fact used to designate a range of diverse, if often kindred, concepts. These concepts have in the past been addressed in a number of discrete disciplines, particularly physics, mathematics, aesthetics, chemistry, ethics, ontology, and theology.

The Life of Ernest Everett Jus

Black Apollo of Science: The Life of Ernest Everett Just is a biography of African-American biologist Ernest Everett Just, written in 1983 by Kenneth R. Manning. The book was named one of 1984's "notable books" by The New York Times. 

Just were a pioneering African American biologist and educator. The book, which was published by Oxford University Press, provided an in-depth study of Just’s research and discoveries within fertilization, early embryonic development, and the properties of the cell surface, and it also detailed the difficult social environment facing African American scientists within U.S. academia during the first part of the 20th century.

Manning, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, received the 1983 Pfizer Award for the book, which was also a finalist for the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography. The book was also cited by the New York Times as one of its notable books of the year.

The Science of Life

The Science of Life is a collection of nine books in three volumes written by Julian Huxley and G. P. Wells, edited by H. G. Wells and published by The Waverley Publishing Company Ltd in 1929-30, describing all major aspects of biology as known in the 1920s. The full details of its publishing record are as follows:

Wells H.G., Huxley Julian S. and Wells G.P. 1929-30. The Science of Life: a summary of contemporary knowledge about life and its possibilities. First issued in 31 fortnightly parts published by Amalgamated Press, 1929-30, bound up in three volumes as publication proceeded. First issued in one volume by Cassell in 1931, reprinted 1934, 1937; popular edition, fully revised, 1938. Published as separate volumes by Cassell 1934-37: I The living body. II Patterns of life (1934). III Evolution—fact and theory. IV Reproduction, heredity and the development of sex. V The history and adventure of life. VI The drama of life. VII How animals behave (1937). VIII Man's mind and behaviour. IX Biology and the human race. Published in New York by Doubleday, Doran & Co. 1931, 1934, 1939; and by The Literary Guild 1934. Three of the Cassell spin-off books were also published by Doubleday in 1932: Evolution, fact and theory; The human mind and the behavior of Man; Reproduction, genetics and the development of sex.

Of historic interest is Book Three - The Incontrovertible Fact of Evolution, comprising five chapters; I The fact to be proved, II The evidence in the rocks, III The evidence from plant and animal structure, IV The evidence from the variation and distribution of living things, V The evolution of Man. Considering that this was written less than five years from the Scopes Trial, it is a bold, comprehensive account of the scientific knowledge of evolution at the time.

The reference given is the most complete available, but there may have been other publishers and dates, and some books may have been given alternative titles. There are editions in some other languages.

Lifetime Surveillance of Astronaut Health (LSAH)

Lifetime Surveillance of Astronaut Health (LSAH)
The Lifetime Surveillance of Astronaut Health (LSAH) is a proactive occupational surveillance program for the astronaut corps to screen and monitor astronauts for occupational related injury or disease. The LSAH program examines the incidence of acute and chronic morbidity and mortality of astronauts, and defines the risks of morbidity and mortality associated with the occupational exposures encountered by astronauts. From the evidence obtained, individually tailored follow-up medical examinations will be designed to track the astronaut population more rigorously and capture sub-clinical medical events. This enables systematic evaluation of astronauts to detect potential health problems at an early state and to facilitate action to prevent the development or progression of occupationally-related diseases. Statistical analyses and reports generation are conducted to support clinical care and occupational surveillance, Space Medicine operations and countermeasure effectiveness assessment. Active surveillance for outcomes of particular interest shall be conducted. Operational investigations shall be conducted as needed to support the following activities:

1) population-based clinical care and occupational surveillance, including evaluation of exposure histories and follow-up based on clinical protocols
2) active surveillance for conditions of interest
3) Space Medicine operations and countermeasure effectiveness assessment
4) analyses supporting development of requirements for human-rated vehicles
5) the Human Research Program gap assessment
6) transition to operations assessment.


The LSAH Repository (LSAH-R) was established to implement a research component to enable analysis of astronaut medical data. The LSAH-R research proposal has been approved by the JSC IRB. Informed consent for use of medical data for research purposes shall be obtained from NASA astronauts. The LSAH-R will support research studies through epidemiologic analyses, data exploration and data visualization techniques.

Limitations of the Data: The primary goal for collecting the data is for clinical purposes, rather than a research study. The data content is driven by crew surgeon need – the data may list outcome (e.g. “normal”) rather than a specific value, the data may not always be collected for each crew member, or the data may be taken under different circumstances (e.g. an astronaut returning on a Soyuz may have different test dates or even types of test than an astronaut returning on a Shuttle).

Life sciences

The life sciences comprise the fields of science that involve the scientific study of living organisms, like plants, animals, and human beings. While biology remains the centerpiece of the life sciences, technological advances in molecular biology and biotechnology have led to a burgeoning of specializations and new, often interdisciplinary, fields.

Special Collection: Australopithecus sediba

The transition in human ancestry from Australopithecus, the genus that existed for 2 million years before Homo, has been enigmatic. A key fossil from near the time of this transition is Australopithecus sediba, which is represented by several specimens discovered in a cave in South Africa. Five Reports in the 9 September 2011 Science, as well as a related News Focus package and podcast interview, discuss important features of the A. sediba fossils, including some that are not well preserved in other similar hominid remains.
