It brings together leading scholars in the philosophy, history and social studies of science to achieve two goals: tracking the travel of data across different spaces, times and domains of research practice; and documenting how such journeys affect the use of data as evidence and the knowledge being produced. The volume captures the opportunities, challenges and concerns involved in making data move from the sites in which they are originally produced to sites where they can be integrated with other data, analysed and re-used for a variet...

Dit boek neemt je mee in de internationale inspanningen om het coronavirus te begrijpen en onder controle te krijgen. Je beleeft dit avontuur vanuit het perspectief van de wetenschappers. ‘Buiten adem’ van wetenschapsjournalist en veelgevraagd spreker David Quammen neemt je mee in de verwoede internationale inspanningen om sars-cov-2 te begrijpen en onder controle te krijgen. Het voert je mee op de meedogenloze reis het coronavirus achterna, dat waarschijnlijk een ‘eeuwig virus’ zal zijn, voorbestemd om onder de mensheid te circuleren en ons eindeloos te kwellen. Quammen legt uit dat epidemiologen deze pandemie zagen aankomen, maar dat hun waarschuwingen om politieke of economische redenen werden genegeerd en hij analyseert dat de precieze oorsprong van dit virus misschien nog jaren onbekend zal blijven.
