What do scientists learn from working with animal models? On "epistemic byproducts" and laboratory work
Monday, September 27, 2021, 6:00 - 8:00pm
at Theodor Fischer Hrsaal, TU Munich, Arcisstr. 21 (ground floor), Munich and via Zoom
Short description of the talk
To create controlled conditions to conduct animal experiments, researchers need to know about important features of the animals themselves and the spaces they will be working in, such as when the technicians run the cage wash machine how this noise might impact the behavior of the mice in the next room over. And in the process of conducting experiments, researchers learn even more about the organisms they work with, such as how much behaviors vary in response to the ever-changing conditions of the laboratory. This talk introduces the concept of "epistemic by-products" to describe the knowledge that scientists gain through the process of doing laboratory work but consider incidental to their main line of scientific research. I argue that these byproducts play an important role in formulating scientists' understandings of the natural phenomena they study, even though they are typically left out of publications. I will conclude with reflections on the importance of paying attention to epistemic by-products in both STS scholarship and science communication.
