“Hanging around laboratories” is non-coincidentally similar to “management by walking around”: both are meta-rational ways of learning, acting, and becoming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_by_wandering_around …
Just hanging out in labs is better than armchair theorizing, but still not as good as actually doing experiments.
Yes; the science studies people I admire most learned to do the actual work. Several of Garfinkel’s students got STEM PhDs along with sociology ones.
Are there similarities to Gary Klein's work?
I had not heard of him—thank you!
This is a poor characterisation of the philosophy of science.
Hmm. Depends on the specific philosopher, maybe. Maybe you have exceptions in mind? Few of them have spent much time in labs, afaik. I’d contrast ethnographers such as Phillipe Sormani and Park Doing, who spent years full-time in a lab all day, actually doing the work.
Yes! I am not a social scientists, but it is funny how hanging out with people involved with i.e. astronomy and space exploration changes the perspective on it. This as an example because it is personal - and for the public "space = magic" to absurd levels.
