Science: derived from greek word episteme, which shows the distinction between science as a way of knowing of how something came to be, and why it came to be. Uses scientific methods variously describes as induction, deduction, falsification and hypothetico-deduction . Can be divided into basic" and applied" science. Basic/pure science is the understanding and description of phenomena and can be applied to many areas. Applied science is the application of scientific principles to meet a specific, recognized need for example biomedical sciences may apply scientific principles and methods to human illness in the hope of treating a disease. Science aims to be politically neutral, objective and reproducible. However, the application of science by society for dangerous or deadly ends such as the development of the nuclear bomb, or indeed genetic engineering cannot be ignored. Biology is the science of life (from the greek word bios meaning life and logos meaning reasoned account)
