Bloom, Floyd E. “The Endless Pathways of Discovery.” – Review

Jodi Chapman

Bloom, Floyd E. “The Endless Pathways of Discovery.” Science 287:229, January 14, 2000. Bloom, editor-in-chief of Science, introduces a “Pathways of Discovery” series as part of Science’s yearlong special coverage of the transition into the next millennium. Each month the journal will carry an essay portraying the pathways of discovery in exciting areas of science. Each will be accompanied by a graphical timeline of major past events and agents of discovery. The first essay in the series is by Stephen Jay Gould (see below). The first timeline (pp. 230-23 1) portrays major discoveries (and some of the wrong turns) in science over the past 2,500 years.
