Scientific Paper
Science artisans and open science hardware
Summary
An essay on open science hardware as “artisanal science”, drawing on Zilsel’s thesis on the craft origins of science and on Arendt’s critique of labour. Through the OpenDrop and Open Source Estrogen projects it argues that citizen scientists, makers and hackers who build their own instruments offer an alternative to professionalised science and link research with public and private life.
