41、eral decades， there has been an organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science， funded by those whose interests are threatened by the findings of modem science. In response， scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all， scientists have been right about most things，

42、from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.Stressing successes isnt wrong, but for many people ifs not persuasive。 An alternative answer to the question “Why trust science？ is that scientists use the so-called scientific method. But what is called the scientific method is

43、nt what scientists actually do。 Science is dynamic： new methods get invented； old ones get abandoned; and at any particular point, scientists can be found doing many different things. False theories sometimes lead to true results, so even if an experiment works， it doesnt prove that the theory it wa

44、s designed to test is true.If there is no specific scientific method， then what is the basis for trust in science？ The answer is the methods by which those claims are evaluated。 A scientific claim is never accepted as true until it has gone through a long process of examination by fellow scientists。

45、 Scientists draft the initial version of a paper and then send it to colleagues for suggestions. Until this point, scientific feedback is typically fairly friendly。 But the next step is different： the revised paper is submitted to a scientific journal, where things get a whole lot tougher。 Editors d

46、eliberately send scientific papers to people who are not friends or colleagues of the authors， and the job of the reviewer is to find errors or other faults。 We call this process ”peer review because the reviewers are scientific peersexperts in the same fieldbut they act in the role of a superior wh

47、o has both the right and the responsibility to find fault。 It is only after the reviewers and the editor are satisfied that any problems have beenfixed that the paper will be printed in the journal and enters the body of “science.”Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists

48、 arc “always changing their minds?！?While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed， they do exist. But the beauty of this scientific process is that science produces both creativity and stability. New observations， ideas， explanations and attempts to

49、 combine competing claims introduce creativity； transformative questioning leads to collective decisions and the stability of scientific knowledge. Scientists do change their minds in the face of new evidence， but this is a strength of science， not a weakness。62。Scientists stress the success of scie

53、nceDA Latin phrase beloved by every oldfeshioncd British schoolmaster was mens sana in corporasanoa healthy mind in a healthy body. Greater physical activity is associated with better mental，as well as physical， health。 And it might also be linked to greater worker productivity， and thusfaster econo

54、mic growth. That is the conclusion of a new report from a European think tank -RAND。The RAND study looks at different measures: absenteeism （when workers take time off forillness） and presenteeism (when they turn up for work but are less productive because of sickness）。The latter measure was selfrep

55、orted by employees， who were asked whether their work wasnegatively affected by health issues. The survey suggests that between 3 and 4.5 working days eachyear are lost as a consequence of workers being physically inactive. This is between 1.3% and 2of annual working time. Most of this was down to p

56、resenteeism。Another potential gain from improved fitness is reduced healthcare costs. In America， where health care is often provided through employmentbased systems， firms could benefit。 RAND estimates that total American health savings could be 6bn a year by 2025。 But the study，s authors conclude

57、that if people met certain exercise targets， global GDP could be around 0。170。24% higher by 2050. Nothing to laugh at in a world of slowing growth。How to encourage workers to become more active？ Rewards are useful but only if they have conditions; giving all employees free gym membership does not se

Monthly repayments depended on how much exercise they took。The problem is that
