Description

Scientists often have an aversion to what nonscientists say about
science. Scientific criticism by nonscientists is not practiced in the
same way as literary criticism by those who are not novelists or poets.
The closest one comes to scientific criticism is through journalists who
have had an education in science, or through scientists who have
written about their own personal experiences. Social studies of science
and philosophy of science tend to be abstract or to deal with wellknown
historical events or remote examples that bear no relationship
to what occurs daily at the laboratory bench or in the interactions
between scientists in the pursuit of their goals. In addition, journalistic
or sociological accounts seem sometimes to have the sole purpose of
proving merely that scientists are also human.
