Press blurb: From genome sequencing to large sky surveys, digital
technologies produce massive datasets that promise unprecedented scientific
insights. But data, for being good to use and reuse, need people –
scientists, technicians, and administrators – as embodied, evaluative,
social humans. In this book, anthropologist Götz Hoeppe draws on an
ethnography of astronomical research to examine the media and practices
that scientists and technicians use to instruct graduate students, make
diagrams for data calibration and discovery, organize collaborative work,
negotiate the ethics of open access, encode their knowledge in datasets –
and undertake social inquiries along the way. This book offers a reflection
on the sociality of data-rich research that will benefit attempts to
integrate human and machine learning. It will be of interest for students
and scholars in data science and science and technology studies, as well as
in anthropology, sociology, history, and the philosophy of science. This
book is also available Open Access on Cambridge Core.
