At the end of the video with Brendan Meade and Susan Murphy, Professor Goodman explained the rarity of utilizing the scientific method in practice. Professor Goodman mentioned how current scientists generally do not follow the scientific method, something that was surprising to me. When originally learning about the scientific method in school, I thought that it was almost a necessity for scientists in their process of advancing science; yet, I was wrong, as a more trial-and-error based approach is the customary way science is pushed forward.
