Charting the rise and fall of an experimental biomedical facility
at a North American university, Culturing Bioscience offers a
fascinating glimpse into scientific culture and the social and
political context in which that culture operates. 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.
