Frederick Grinnell is Professor of Cell Biology and is Founder of the Program in Ethics in Science and Medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He has an insider's knowledge of biomedical research based on more than thirty-five years of experience. His studies have been with subjects ranging from molecules to people. Over much the same period, he also has studied philosophical issues at the interface of science, technology and society, especially issues concerning biomedical ethics and research integrity. Combining these perspectives permits him to describe everyday practice of science and to integrate a philosophical and ethical dimension into his descriptions. He frequently lectures on these subjects. His lectures form the basis for this book.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 248 pages. Scientific facts can be so complicated that only specialists in a field fully appreciate the details, but the nature of everyday practice that gives rise to these facts should be understandable by everyone interested in science. This boo k describes how scientists bring their own interests and passions to their work, illustrates the dynamics between researchers and the research community, and em phasizes a contextual understanding of science in place of the linear model foun d in textbooks with its singular focus on scientific method.Everyday Pr actice of Science also introduces readers to issues about science and society. P ractice requires value judgments: What should be done? Who should do it? Who sho uld pay for it? How much? Balancing scientific opportunities with societal needs depends on appreciating both the promises and the ambiguities of science. Under standing practice informs discussions about how to manage research integrity, co nflict of interest, and the challenge of modern genetics to human research ethic s. Society cannot have the benefits of research without the risks. The last chap ter contrasts the practices of science and religion as reflective of two differe nt types of faith and describes a holistic framework within which they dynamical ly interact.
