Just added Science Blogs (http://scienceblogs.com/) to a new Science subject at World University and School: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Science - in addition to all the 'Science' subjects on the WUaS Subjects' page: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects

The WUaS subjects I didn't add with science in their name are
Library Science
Media Science
Political Science

To reflect, after having posted these science subjects above, why I chose them as science, has to do with all of them focusing on natural phenomena which involve approaches to knowledge involving systemization, categorization, replicability, predictability ...
What about Ian Hackings' concerns about contingency, metaphysics, and stability in his book "The Social Construction of What?" (Harvard 1999)?
I see the above subjects as offering more stable approaches to knowledge, less-ambiguous-metaphysics-than, say, social sciences, and more enwebbed metaphysics (both correlation and correspondent theories of truth), which is not to say that the vagaries of language are not important in thinking about science in these terms.
In defining science, for World University and School, with these subjects, I think I also take a pragmatists' approach, recognizing there will always be disagreement about what science is, as well as how to define it. I would also engage the "Oxford Companion to Philosophy" (2005) entries.
