De la colaboración multidisciplinar a la objetividad transnacional
En este artículo se exploran las relaciones internacionales establecidas por los biólogos moleculares durante las primeras décadas del desarrollo de esa área. El espacio internacional dentro del cual se han inscrito los descubrimientos de la biología molecular resultan tener una función legitimadora, desde sus inicios en los años treinta hasta los años sesenta. La resultante objetividad transnacional de nuevas realidades teóricas y empíricas, ent…
Construction, alienation and emancipation
The Politics of Macromolecules
Nobelesse Oblige
Uneasy Careers and Intimate Lives
Focuses on 19th and 20th century American and European women scientists. Great introduction by the editors of essays written by 12 women historians. References, notes and a decent index helps for further reading and wondering when the men of science will wake up and smell the coffee

The Discourse of Physical Power and Biological Knowledge in the 1930s
This paper uses three case studies in order to examine the implementation of a policy of biological progress, initiated by the Rockefeller Foundation in the 1930s. In discussing the social and scientific goals of this research policy, the paper challenges views which have attributed to the Foundation's policy a direct impact upon the rise of molecular biology; it also suggests that this policy, conceived around the idea of technology transfer fro…
