Notes
Introduction
1. Dyson, “Our Biotech Future.”
2. A selection of readings: Forman, “Behind Quantum Elec-
tronics”; Kaiser, “Postwar Suburbanization”; Kaiser, “Scientifi c
Manpower”; Galison, Image and Logic .
3. Glaser, “The Bubble Chamber.”
4. Eisenhower, “Farewell.”
5. Weinberg, Refl ections , 40.
6. Weinberg, “Criteria.” Elsewhere, Weinberg spoke of the
“triple diseases” of Big Science, “journalitis, moneyitis, and
administratisis” (Weinberg, “Impact of Large Scale Science”).
Another important critic of Big Science was the historian and
physicist Derek J. de Solla Price; see Price, Little Science, Big
Science . A good historical summary of the debates is provided
in Capshew and Rader, “Big Science.”
7. Anderson, “More Is Different.”
8. At least in terms of funding, this “debate” appeared to
be quite one-sided—with the high-energy physicists far out
in front—until the end of the Cold War; as Daniel Kevles has
pointed out, the demise of the Superconducting Super Collider
left physicists in the 1990s searching for new ways to justify
their work. See Kevles, “Big Science and Big Politics.”
9. Latour and Woolgar, Laboratory Life , 15ff.
10. Gilbert, “Towards a Paradigm Shift.”
11. This account is partly based on an early draft of Gil-
bert's paper from 1990 that was examined by Fujimura and
Fortun. See Fujimura and Fortun, “Constructing Knowledge.”
12. Gilbert, “Towards a Paradigm Shift.”
