SCIENCE COLUMN EDITORIAL CARTOON THE HUME’N EXPERIENCE Thinking like a scientist By Alice Martin

A Higgs boson walks into a church wearing a priest’s robe and starts trying to run the service. Angrily, one of the actual priests tells it to get out. What does the Higgs boson say in return? “But without me, you can’t have mass.” If you laughed, you’re either a science geek or genuinely enjoy terrible puns (both in my case). But the truth of the matter is, the in- teractions between culture and scientific knowledge — in this case, physics — are much more complex than the punch line of a joke or the text on a goofy meme. Culturally, scientific facts tend to be treat- ed like popcorn — small, individual pieces to chew on one at time, preferably with ungodly amounts of butter and salt. (This analogy quickly got out of hand.) That’s the distinction between knowing scientific “facts” and studying science: One provides you with some neat icebreakers at an ice cream social, and the other has the potential to deeply influence your perspective and philosophy regarding the world. This isn’t to say that studying science will automatically put you down one path or another, but merely that science challenges us to think more critically about where our opinions come from and why we have them. What it ultimately comes down to is our ability to be comfortable Illustration by Callan Berry with doubt, which, as a whole, is something we’re not very good at. People want to quantify what category they belong in: what they like, what they wear, who they’re with. It gives us a sense of security in our identity. But to think scientifically is to open yourself up to the U possibility of being wrong. To choose a hypothesis because it seems likely is valid. To cling to it after the evidence proves you wrong P is not. This applies to all aspects of life, not just physical observed BACK phenomena.

“People can heal from trauma and the role of the partner is so incredibly important. By demonstrating that compassion, that sensitivity toward your partner, you’re laying down the foundation for real healing.” -KATIE CHAPIN

Tim Goessman/Montana Kaimin Jenny Gessaman was in two relationships after being sexually assaulted. She said one boyfriend did not want to talk about the assault and the other wanted to do something about it. Erin Steuer, SARC out- reach coordinator, said every victim of sexual assault responds in a different way, as do their partners. Both primary and secondary victims should ask her help when they need it, she said. Frequently, partners are in disbelief that something so traumatic happened to someone they care deeply about and don’t know how to respond, Steuer said. “Often those partners can feel overwhelmed,” she said. “They want to support them, they want to get them to resources, but they’re just not exactly sure what they should do or can do.” SARC helps a lot of secondary survivors who come to them because they’re struggling to know how to best support victims, Steuer said. She said that the most important things a secondary survivor can do are believe the victim, give emotional support, which may mean listening and not asking too many questions, and offer to connect them to resources such as SARC or a counselor. “People come with really Tim Goessman/Montana Kaimin good intentions,” Steur said. Brent Hildebrand founded Men of Strength, a club that aims to change the male perspective of rape. “They want to help their partners in the recovery process, so the club meets weekly to discuss is walking towards you, if she After she was assaulted in scious, but it’s a good place to be, we just try to offer support and a topic that makes most men un- crosses to the other side of the 2004, Jenkinson said she it’s a safe place to be.” guidance for those people also comfortable and frustrated at street, how does that make was infuriated.
