Krautwurst nests the discussion of scientific culture within a series of levels from the lab to the global political economy. In the process he explores a number of topics, including: the social impact of technology; researchers' relationships with sophisticated equipment; what scientists actually do in a laboratory; what role science plays in the contemporary university; and the way bioscience interacts with local, regional, and global governments. The result is a rich case study that illustrates a host of contemporary issues in the social study of science UR - https://doi.org/10.3138/9781442604636 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781442604636 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781442604636/original ER -
