The document discusses science communication and defines science. It states that science is a body of knowledge that allows one to reach objective truth through a systematic ordering of phenomena or concepts. Science is described as either pure and done for itself, or applied with a focus on practical applications of scientific discoveries. Experimental or positive science is defined as being based on knowledge gained through understanding. The academic study of science is characterized as neutral and objective, with a method based on conceptual and precise instruments like assumptions, theories, experiments, observations, inferences, models, and synthesis.
