Synopsis

Culturing Bioscience is an accessible case study that looks at the role bioscience plays both in the academy and within broader society. The book focuses on the scientific community at a biomedical facility situated on a North American university campus, offering a fascinating glimpse into scientific culture and the social and political context in which that culture operates. Nesting the discussion of scientific culture within a series of "levels," the ethnography explores a number of topics: the social impact of technology and the way researchers interact with sophisticated equipment; what scientists actually do in a laboratory; the role science plays in the contemporary university; and the way bioscience interacts with local, regional, and global governments.
