“I sometimes marvel how truth progresses, so difficult is it for one man to convince another, unless his mind is vacant.” ~ Charles Darwin

 
Welcome to the Sexual Side of Science!

Our names are Levi, Mary, Margeaux, Sarah, and Chris; we are students at Michigan State University in the residential science college Lyman Briggs. On this site we explore the implications of sexual identity in science. How does sexual orientation affect the process of science, and how has science responded in “explaining” sexual identities?  The purpose of this blog will be to document our researching journey and to have an outlet to express our own opinions and ideas, so we can be as objective as possible in our academic research. We understand this topic is a very personal topic for many and wish to emphasize that any information we put on this site is not our own opinions, but simply a documentation of the history of science and sexuality. We hope you enjoy exploring this site and are able to learn something about the history of sexuality in science, including how sexuality fits into the human evolutionary journey.
