Studying Science in an Anti-Scientific Time
This Chronicle Review Deep Cut was first published in 2025. By Julianne Werlin Thanks for reading The Chronicle Review! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. Subscribe The last two decades have not been kind to science studies. Already bruised and battered by the โscience warsโ of the 1990s, by the 2000s sociologists of science โ who had long argued that science had to be understood in its human context โ were encountering the funhouse-mirror version of their own views in right-wing critiques of climate scientists. It was enough to give some prominent scholars pause. โWas I wrong to participate in the invention of this field known as science studies?โ asked Bruno Latour, the most famous sociologist of science in the world, in 2003. โShould we apologize for having been wrong all along? Or should we rather bring the sword of criticism to criticism itself and do a bit of soul-searching here: What were we really after when we were so intent on showing the social construction of scientific facts?โ In response, Latour proposed a change of method and attitude. Science studies, now chastened and contrite, would no longer seek to strip facts of their authority, but to enrich and enhance them. What this meant in practice was never fully clear. But his diagnosis of problems resonated, even if his solutions did not. Latourโs exercise in public hand-wringing signaled a shift in mood. By 2016, with the first election of Donald Trump, the idea that skepticism of science was a right-wing position, not a left-wing one, had become a commonplace, discussed eagerly in The New York Times. For liberals, vaccine denial during the Covid era and Trumpโs second-term attacks on the funding of scientific research, covered extensively in these pages, added a new urgency to the defense of science on both practical and principled grounds. There was little appetite for a sociology or philosophy of science that emphasized the messiness and missteps of the scientific process rather than its integrity and triumphs. The distinguished historian of science Peter Dearโs new book, The World as We Know It: From Natural Philosophy to Modern Science (Princeton University Press, 2025), which seeks to tell the story of 18th- and 19th-century science for a general public, may seem comfortably remote from these bitter contests. In its 16 short chapters, Dear draws swift, sure sketches of major discoveries from Newton to Einstein, ably guiding the reader through debates on stellar nebulae, animal taxonomy, atomic chemistry, evolution, and other flashpoints in the history of science. But though a work of history, Dearโs book must still negotiate our polarized present. In a blurb on its back cover, the historian of biology Lynn K. Nyhart alludes to the โpresent moment, when scientific knowledge is being swamped by misinformation and its institutions are under siege.โ Dear himself, in his conclusion, refers to the โyard signsโ and โbumper stickersโ that proclaim โScience Is Real.โ One antidote to both anti-science propaganda and to reductive slogans in scienceโs defense is a robust history and philosophy of science: exactly what Dearโs scholarship has long offered. But his new book illustrates how difficult such work has become. Dear, an emeritus professor of history at Cornell University, is best known as a creative and philosophically minded historian of the Scientific Revolution. His edited volume The Literary Structure of Scientific Argument (1991) analyzed the rhetoric of Galileoโs thought experiments to brilliant effect. Discipline and Experience: The Mathematical Way in the Scientific Revolution (1995) was a major contribution to the analysis of scientific experiments in early modern Europe and beyond, while Revolutionizing the Sciences: European Knowledge in Transition, 1500-1700 (2001), now in its third edition, remains one of the best overviews of the profound epistemological upheavals of 16th- and 17th-century science. But Dear has also ventured into later periods. Nearly two decades ago, in The Intelligibility of Nature: How Science Makes Sense of the World (2006), he turned to the 18th and 19th centuries to sketch a history and theory of scientific knowledge. Aimed at a generalist audience, Dearโs simple prose belied serious philosophical ambitions. Science, Dear argued, has two aspects: โnatural philosophy,โ the quest to understand the true nature of the universe, and โinstrumentality,โ the applied skills and technologies that allow us to manipulate the world for human advantage. Both strands are ancient, but the innovation of the phenomenon we call โscienceโ was to yoke them together. As Francis Bacon wrote, โHuman knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known, the effect cannot be produced,โ an insight typically abridged to โknowledge is power.โ Or, in Bertrand Russellโs characteristically blunt phrase, science has two functions, โ1. to enable us to know things, and 2., to enable us to do things.โ So far, so conventional. But Dear took issue with this familiar story in one respect. Baconโs formula implied that theory and practice could be fused in a single method. In fact, Dear argued, the quest to understand nature and the desire to manipulate it were coupled only loosely. They could come together, but they could also pull apart. Focusing on natural philosophy, the โknowingโ half of the scientific circle, he used a series of case studies from cosmology, taxonomy, chemistry, electromagnetism, and quantum theory to show how theories changed over time, in dialogue with practice, but never reducible to it. Take the case of matter, the basic substrate of the physical world. In the 18th and 19th centuries, scientists not only disagreed about what it was, but also about how well it could be known. In 1789, the chemist Antoine Lavoisier dismissed speculation about the atomic composition of chemicals as โdiscussions entirely of a metaphysical nature,โ as he sought to orient chemistry away from philosophical abstraction and toward laboratory results. But in the 19th century, atoms returned with a vengeance in the atomic chemistry of John Dalton, who wanted to explain the underlying structure of nature. It was not just that Dalton and Lavoisier had a different set of experimental results, or even a different theory, Dear showed. What counted as an explanation had changed. In arguing that scientific theories depended on their intelligibility to human beings with complex arrays of beliefs and commitments, Dear was in sympathy with science studies. Key figures such as the sociologist Steven Shapin emphasized the importance of psychological mechanisms like trust in the formation and acceptance of scientific ideas. But in focusing on the scientific pursuit of knowledge, not its politics or economics, Dear resisted the more cynical perspective of some of his colleagues. The Intelligibility of Nature strikes a very different note than Shapinโs collection of a few years later, Never Pure: Historical Studies of Science as If It Was Produced by People With Bodies, Situated in Time, Space, Culture, and Society, and Struggling for Credibility and Authority (2010), to name just one example. Walking a very fine line, Dear depicted science as driven at once by complex social dynamics and by the intellectual power of real discoveries. It was a testament not only to his own acumen but also to the vitality of the field that he was able to do so. Nearly two decades later, The World as We Know It returns to the questions broached in The Intelligibility of Nature. Like Dearโs earlier study, it begins with the Newtonian cosmos and ends with debates between Einstein and Bohr on quantum physics. Beyond its terminal figures, many of the same characters appear in both studies, including the naturalists John Ray and the Comte de Buffon; the chemists รtienne Franรงois Geoffroy, Antoine Lavoisier, and John Dalton; as well as Charles Darwin and Michael Faraday, among others. Its subject is nearly identical: As in The Intelligibility of Nature, The World as We Know It considers natural philosophy as opposed to instrumentality, here defined as the โdesire to create a picture of what the world is really like โ the world as God knows it โ rather than simply having instrumental or operational control over it.โ The two books also overlap in insights โ and sometimes even in language. The reader who has learned in The Intelligibility of Nature that Buffonโs method of classifying animals โreflected his belief in the importance of the senses and empiricism in learning about nature (a doctrine associated with Newton and the philosopher John Locke)โ will experience a sense of dรฉjร vu on reading, in The World as We Know It, that the classification โreflects Buffonโs commitment to the epistemological stance of Newton and his philosophical underlaborer John Locke, who stressed the role of the senses in creating natural knowledge.โ Later in the passage, we read that, โbecause of its stress on understanding the ways of life of animals in their environments, Bu๏ฌonโs approach could almost be labeled (anachronistically) as โecological.โโ And again, โan anachronistic way of putting it would be to say that Buffon recommends an ecological mode of understanding.โ Likewise, in The Intelligibility of Nature we read of Dalton that he was initially drawn to meteorology, and that: He did a bit of experimental work on these things, especially having to do with the water-holding capacity of gases, but his real interest lay in understanding what, at an underlying natural-philosophical level, was really going on physically.โ Whereas, in The World as We Know It: He did experimental work on these things, especially concerning the water-holding capacity of gases โ although not at a very refined level quantitatively โ but he was continually trying to develop a theoretical conception of what was happening physically. The final full chapter of each book closes on the same resigned note. Intelligibility: These days, most serious work on the natural philosophical underpinnings and implications of quantum mechanics is performed not by physicists but by philosophers of science. Among scientific practitioners themselves, Bohrโs attempt to use instrumentality as su๏ฌcient grounds for a respectable science has met with a high degree of success. And again, in The World as We Know It: Bohrโs and Einsteinโs concerns are now questions that are mostly discussed by philosophers of science rather than by physicists themselves. The marginalization of these sorts of questions amounts to the demise of natural philosophy, at least in physics, in the 20th century. Quantum mechanics โworks,โ and thatโs good enough for most scientists who encounter it. Examples could be multiplied. When handling the same subject matter, some echoes are inevitable. Scholars should not feel that because they have written โIsaac Newton died in 1727โ in one book, in the next they must describe him as perishing, expiring, or meeting his maker. But the repetitions of language and arguments (not to mention six reproduced images) threaded throughout The World as We Know It are more extensive than that. They should have been caught by Princeton University Press or its reviewers, and revised. Because the two books have so much in common, it is easy to see where they diverge. The World as We Know It is a less theoretical work than its predecessor. The sociology of knowledge that organized The Intelligibility of Nature has been reduced in scale and folded into readings and examples. The taut interplay between history and theory, which gave the earlier study so much interest, is there, but it is subtle. In the earlier book, the case studies demonstrated theoretical claims about the character and development of science. In the later work, each narrative of discovery is an end in itself. Insights emerge from the history, but they do not control the organization of the study. With the theory muted, it can be hard to understand the logic uniting Dearโs sprawling history of more than two centuries of scientific knowledge. The 16 brisk chapters cover an enormous amount of material. But the closer the volume edges to comprehensiveness, the more obvious the missing elements become. A chapter on โInstitutions and Pedagogy,โ describing the birth of the research university, illustrates the problem. Inserted roughly halfway through the book, the unnumbered chapter is designed as an โentrโacte,โ in acknowledgement that it does not fit the studyโs organization around scientific discoveries. Yet as Dear is well aware, no general history of the development of modern science can bracket its 19th-century institutionalization and professionalization. It was the 19th-century university, after all, that gave us the โscientist,โ a term coined by the Cambridge philosopher William Whewell. Dearโs history of scientific discoveries implies a wider social and institutional history, but it remains largely subterranean, only occasionally extruded under the pressure of the narrative. It must be said that the balance is not all on the side of the earlier study. There are some advantages to the more historical, less theoretical organization of The World as We Know It. Dearโs accounts of paradigm shifts are remarkably lucid, no small accomplishment given that they span fields and centuries. He makes excellent use of the wealth of new scholarship on Darwin and his influences, to which he has himself contributed. It is satisfying to see puzzle pieces from Buffonโs natural history, Georges Cuvierโs animal taxonomy, Thomas Robert Malthusโs demography, and Charles Lyellโs geology recombined seamlessly in the Darwinian jigsaw. Likewise, Dearโs discussion of stellar nebulae, divided between chapters two and 15, shows vividly how Newton, Kant, Herschel, and Hubble reimagined insights and observations as they sought to discover whether the diffuse light that filtered through early telescopes was a glowing, gaseous substance or discrete but distant stars. Yet despite such pleasures, the book remains a more modest work than The Intelligibility of Nature. Dear has clearly not changed his views about the history of science. But in the two decades that have elapsed, the discipline and the world around it have changed, making it harder to write a sociologically and philosophically ambitious history of science for the general reader. That is a shame, because in the age of Silicon Valley and biotechnology, both the reciprocity and the tensions Dear identified between the epistemological and instrumental ambitions of science are more evident than ever. In recent years, some of the most exciting new books on the history of science in early modernity have focused precisely on this pressure point. Important studies such as Pamela H. Smithโs From Lived Experience to the Written Word (2022), James Poskettโs Horizons: The Global Origins of Modern Science (2022), and Vera Kellerโs The Interlopers: Early Stuart Projects and the Undisciplining of Knowledge (2023) all shed new light on how early modern science negotiated the relationship between its instrumental and epistemological ambitions, or in Russellโs phrase, knowing and doing. There is every opportunity for a philosophically informed approach to draw new insights from this wealth of material. Dear, unfortunately, has not done so in The World as We Know It. But for future scholars of the history of science, his body of work over nearly four decades may provide just the model. Julianne Werlin is an associate professor of English at Duke University.

Bishopโs computer science chair says AI is eliminating โgrunt workโ and reshaping digital jobs
Dr. Russell Butler, chair of Bishopโs Universityโs Department of Computer Science, says artificial intelligence is increasingly taking over routine digital โgrunt work,โ changing the skills students and workers may need in the years ahead. Photo courtesy of Bishopโs University. Click here to read our platform! Get local news like this every morning. Subscribe free below. Subscribe Pulse Newsroom Artificial intelligence is already taking over some of the routine digital work once performed by entry-level employees, according to Bishopโs University Computer Science chair Dr. Russell Butler โ a shift he believes will make expertise, judgement and the ability to evaluate AI-generated work increasingly important. Butler described the change as automation reaching what he calls the โbottom of the cognitive pyramidโ during an interview with The Pulse about AI, university education and the future of digital work. His argument is not that humans are disappearing from the workplace. Instead, he sees their role changing as AI becomes capable of handling more of the repetitive tasks involved in computer-based work. โEverythingโs converging on just AI basically doing all the grunt work,โ Butler said. The bottom of the cognitive pyramid Butler is from Lennoxville, completed his undergraduate studies at Bishopโs and later earned his PhD at the Universitรฉ de Sherbrooke. He joined Bishopโs in 2019 and now chairs its Department of Computer Science. He uses AI in research, teaching and other creative work, and said the technology is increasingly capable of handling routine digital tasks that once required substantial human time. โYouโve got the grunt work, like moving things around in Excel, doing basic programming tasks,โ Butler said. โThatโs like the bottom grunt work that the entry-level worker would have done two or three years ago.โ Butler went further, saying in his view that much of this type of work has already been absorbed by AI tools. He connected that change to a shift he sees taking place in computer science, where entry-level roles have declined while experienced workers can use AI to increase what they can produce. โA senior developer now has access to essentially an unlimited amount of junior developers on demand,โ Butler said. He was describing AI systems metaphorically, not literal employees. His point was that one experienced developer can now ask AI tools to produce code or other technical work that might previously have been assigned to more junior workers. That raises a broader question for universities and employers. If some of the simpler work traditionally given to newcomers can now be done by machines, how do people gain the experience needed to become senior workers themselves? Students doing work that once required years of programming Butler said he is already seeing the change inside his classroom. He created a Bishopโs course called CS208, Coding in Plain English, to show students โ including those without traditional programming backgrounds โ what they can accomplish using AI. Some come from disciplines such as psychology or neuroscience with no previous programming experience. โWhat Iโm finding is that students who have zero programming experience, they come in from another discipline like psychology or neuroscience or something, they are now able to get up and running with real data sets,โ Butler said. Butlerโs own doctoral work involved neuroimaging, and he said he has assigned students work he considers comparable to the kinds of analysis he performed during his PhD. He described giving students a real dataset, an expected result and instructions to use AI to complete the analysis. Butler said those students have been able to carry out work at a level he associates with tasks he once performed after years of programming experience. That does not mean a student using AI instantly acquires the same knowledge as an experienced computer scientist. But Butler sees it as evidence that AI can dramatically lower the technical barrier between having a problem to solve and producing a working result. The role of the person using the system then changes. They need to know what to ask for, understand enough about the subject to judge the answer and take responsibility for what is ultimately produced. What about AI hallucinations? One persistent concern surrounding generative AI is hallucination โ when a system produces information that sounds convincing but is false or unsupported. Butler said that problem has improved substantially in newer systems and is not as severe as it was with earlier models. He pointed in particular to newer AI systemsโ ability to search the web, consult scientific databases and return source links rather than simply generating a citation from their internal model. Butler nevertheless said users should verify what AI produces. โYou should verify,โ he said while discussing citations generated with AI. His position is that hallucinations have become less common in the systems he uses, not that incorrect AI output is impossible. Human checking remains part of the process. Hours of work compressed Butler offered another example from his administrative work at Bishopโs. The university has been comparing CEGEP courses with first-year Bishopโs courses to determine where students may qualify for advanced standing. Traditionally, Butler said, that means reviewing two sets of course descriptions and manually matching one institutionโs courses with anotherโs. As department chair, that could require hours of reading and comparison. He said AI can now be given both sets of material and asked to generate an initial mapping automatically. โIt saves me hours and hours of work,โ Butler said. Butler said the AI-generated mapping can also produce a better result than he would produce himself. He sees similar opportunities in businesses. A company may receive specifications, drawings, emails or other digital material from customers and then have employees convert that information into an internal format before anything can be manufactured or delivered. AI can increasingly perform parts of that intermediate processing. In Butlerโs view, the employee does not necessarily disappear. Instead, the job becomes more about checking the result. โThe human is still there,โ he said. Judgement could become more valuable That change is central to Butlerโs view of where digital work may be headed. If AI can produce a first draft, write basic code, compare documents or process large amounts of information, he argues that knowledge and judgement become increasingly important. โThe real scarce resource going forward is going to be domain knowledge, expertise, andโฆ credentials, authority, the ability to work with other people,โ Butler said. He is therefore encouraging students not only to learn AI tools but also to broaden their education. He mentioned acting, fine art and photography as examples of courses that can help develop what he described as taste and intuition โ the ability to recognize what is good, what is not and what should be changed. โAnd thatโs the skill that they need now because the grunt work has been automated and now itโs about evaluating what the AI produces and telling it how to improve or expand the output,โ Butler said. That does not remove the need for technical knowledge. Butlerโs argument is that the emphasis may shift away from manually completing every step of a task and toward directing, checking and improving work produced with AI assistance. He also stressed that humans remain responsible for final decisions. โAt the end of the day, the human has to make the final call,โ Butler said, pointing to the question of accountability. Physical work may be different Butler draws a distinction between digital work and jobs requiring people to manipulate the physical world. He expects AI to continue advancing quickly in tasks performed almost entirely on computers. He is more cautious about claims that humanoid robots will soon be able to replace workers such as plumbers or electricians. Butler said those trades would not be replaced โanytime soonโ in his view and described some current robotics demonstrations as overhyped. He described the situation as counterintuitive. โItโs almost like we solved the highest level first,โ he said, contrasting advances in digital AI with the harder problem of building robots capable of operating reliably in the physical world. Butlerโs argument is that some digital occupations could face automation sooner than trades requiring complex physical work. The wider AI shift in the Townships Butlerโs comments come as local institutions are increasingly grappling with how AI should be used. The federal government recently announced up to $162 million over five years for 10,000 AI-related placements through Mitacs. The Universitรฉ de Sherbrooke told The Pulse that the number of its collaborative research and innovation projects supported through Mitacs has approximately doubled since 2018-19, while the number of placements has approximately tripled. UdeS also said it already has projects involving both AI adoption and the application of AI to other fields. At Bishopโs, Butler said part of his role involves building the Computer Science departmentโs local presence, connecting students with regional partners and strengthening relationships with the Sherbrooke technology ecosystem. Those developments put universities in a difficult position. They have to prepare students to use the tools employers increasingly have available while also making sure graduates understand enough to recognize when those tools are wrong, incomplete or being applied to the wrong problem. The risk of losing human skills Butler does not see AI as risk-free. Later in the interview, he raised a separate concern: as AI becomes better at reading, writing, programming and other cognitive tasks, people could lose some of the underlying skills that historically helped produce new ideas. โThe other danger is that weโre going to lose the human skills,โ Butler said. He specifically mentioned reading and writing and argued that people could lose some of the lower-level understanding that contributes to breakthroughs. Butler said AI systems are based on existing human knowledge and argued that they become much more powerful when paired with a capable person. That tension runs through his view of the technology. AI can remove hours of routine work. It can allow beginners to perform tasks that once required substantial technical training. It can give experienced workers significant leverage. But the more capable the technology becomes, the more important it may be for people to develop the judgement needed to decide what should be done in the first place. For Butler, that is where education may have to change. Students still need to understand their field. They still need to know when something is wrong. And they still need to be able to make the final decision. But if AI increasingly handles the bottom of the cognitive pyramid, the value of a worker may depend less on how quickly they can perform the grunt work and more on whether they understand what the work is supposed to accomplish.

Coastal forces shape building sciences practice
When Built Environments relocated to Wilmington, the firmโs partners werenโt looking for the lazy tranquility one hopes for when on vacation. Instead, they sought sultry heat. They wanted to understand whipping coastal winds and punishing precipitation โ the kind that tropical storms produce. Thatโs because how materials degrade can reveal a lot about how they can be improved. โWe specifically chose the Wilmington market because it does fall within Climate Zone 3A, which is a coastal warm-humid climate,โ said Jarrett Davis, who joined Built Environments in 2023 to lead the companyโs building science practice. โThereโs not a lot of product research in that climate zone, but there are a lot of structures here that get weatherized pretty severely.โ Built Environments has provided building science, material testing and code compliance consulting for 25 years, ever since principal materials scientist Steve Doggett founded the company in Minnesota. โThere are very few manufacturers that understand fully how their own materials and products work, whereas we know their shortfalls and their benefits out in the real world on jobsites,โ Doggett said. โThatโs why the original Built Environments was formed, to make buildings better.โ He said the 15-employee company is just as comfortable on a jobsite, retrofitting a high-end beachside property, for example, as it is recreating some of the coastโs most intense weather conditions in the great indoors. The company operates an A2LA-accredited ISO/IEC 17025 mechanical testing laboratory on Wright Street. The year-old facility has expanded Built Environmentsโ in-house capabilities, Doggett said. โWeโre able to simulate that hurricane wind (and) rain and perform structural and impact testing on wall assemblies, roof assemblies and glazing assemblies,โ he said. โThere are certain requirements that those windows and doors need to meet as far as wind ratings and pressure ratings and things of that nature.โ Standard Glass Co.-Glass Depots, of Wilmington, is currently testing a new glazing system using Built Environmentsโ stress testing, the partners said. One method involves whatโs called a โlarge missile cannon.โ โWe take 8-foot two-by-fours, and we shoot them at assemblies, so they have to withstand that impact,โ Davis said. โItโs pretty cool to see, Iโm not going to lie.โ In many cases, the lab can run a full, wall-scale test of a product in a matter of weeks or months, whereas โit might take midrange manufacturers years,โ Doggett said. โWeโre nimble. We can cut that time in half.โ The lab also develops intellectual property. Doggett, for example, shares a patent with Sustant LLC, of Minnesota, on a fastener patch to increase the air and water tightness within building envelopes. โWe have too many ideas and not enough time,โ he said. But the partners noted that they or their fellow principals โ of which the company has four total, including a principal engineer and a principal codes and standards expert โ could be anywhere on a given day, including in the courtroom providing expert testimony in contentious insurance cases. โLetโs say there is a fire on a structure,โ Davis said. โWe can analyze all the specific materials within that assembly โ an exterior wall or something like that โ because there are loads that require certain heat release. And so, we can measure each one of those materials, if need be, to say if this was likely or not a code-approved assembly.โ Despite what can be inferred in a lab, the partners said nothing beats learning from how materials change over time under real-world strain. Take, for instance, the curious case of the creaking condo. โWe recently had a customer that came to us trying to assess a sound issue of a roof. It was making noises that no one could explain or account for. How do you tackle something like that?โ Doggett asked rhetorically. โThereโs really no generally agreed-upon methodologies.โ The problem turned out to be a faulty installation of a commercial roof system. โThe building in this particular case was not local,โ he said. โIn the initial installation, the commercial roofing contractor installed the wrong fasteners in the wrong locations into the deck, and essentially the solar radiation was causing the building to move quite substantially early in the morning when the sun initially hit that assembly after a quite cool evening, causing the threads on the fasteners to kind of jump within the material, within the metal.โ Built Environments designed an effective repair methodology that was within budget, the partners said. โWe get the bizarre,โ Doggett said. โI will say thatโs something that has stayed the same over 25 years.โ The partners said they are hiring, and that Cape Fear Community College is one of their main recruiting grounds. Davis and Doggett look for talented people who can understand traditional methodologies yet are open to on-the-job training and new understandings, they said. After all, itโs not just weather that can ruin a building. โMy favorite saying is,โ Davis said, โโWhat are the eight most expensive words in construction? Thatโs how my daddy used to do it.โโ
