-===== What is (special about) science? =====
+The simple answer: Because it is at the heart of science and the scientific method. To put it straight: No reproducible research, no science. Science imposes responsibility on the scientist -- towards other scientists and the society.

-  * Science is based on results previously achieved by others.
+===== Science =====
-  * Results should be independent of the scientist.
-  * Science aims at gaining knowledge about the world surrounding us.
-  * Results should be independently reproducible.
-This immediately reveals scientific research to be a responsible undertaking.
