520 The answers to scientific questions depend on who's asking,
because the questions asked and the answers sought reflect
the cultural values and orientations of the questioner.
These values and orientations are most often those of
Western science. In Who's Asking?, Douglas Medin and Megan
Bang argue that despite the widely held view that science
is objective, value-neutral, and acultural, scientists do
not shed their cultures at the laboratory or classroom
door; their practices reflect their values, belief systems,
and worldviews. Medin and Bang argue further that
scientist diversity -- the participation of researchers
and educators with different cultural orientations --
provides new perspectives and leads to more effective
science and better science education. Medin and Bang
compare Native American and European American orientations
toward the natural world and apply these findings to
science education. The European American model, they find,
sees humans as separated from nature; the Native American
model sees humans as part of a natural ecosystem. Medin
and Bang then report on the development of ecologically
oriented and community-based science education programs on
the Menominee reservation in Wisconsin and at the American
Indian Center of Chicago. Medin and Bang's novel argument
for scientist diversity also has important implications
for questions of minority underrepresentation in science
