A subfield of anthropology that studies scientific communities as cultures—examining their social structures, belief systems, rituals, and material practices. It treats science as a human endeavor, not a [transcendent] method, and uses ethnographic methods to [understand] how scientists actually work, how knowledge is produced in labs, and how scientific authority is constructed. The anthropology of science reveals that science is as much about social negotiation, career incentives, and cultural [assumptions] as it is about empirical evidence. It demystifies the “science” as a monolithic entity by showing the rich, messy human activity behind it.
