Objectivity and Bias
Objectivity in science means research is conducted without personal feelings or prejudices, only facts. It's like a referee making calls without favoring any team. Bias is the opposite - allowing personal views to influence results. Imagine if that referee starts favoring one team. In science, this can unintentionally affect the experiment's outcome, veering away from truth and reliability. Balanced objectivity is crucial in producing accurate scientific conclusions.
