 Sample Chapter for Rader, K.: Making Mice: Standardizing Animals for American Biomedical Research, 1900-1955.
For the twenty-five years between 1955 and 1980, that thread was not always acknowledged by science policy-making bodies, but it is one of the arguments of this book that it was there all along, ready to be rewoven (by new techniques of mammalian genetic manipulation) into the tapestry that is modern biomedical research.
Some of this work follows the model of "great men" histories of science but substitutes "great organisms." But the bulk of it has yielded important new insights with regard to the social life of biologists in their laboratories, as well as the process of making biological knowledge.
Recent case studies of standardization in the history and sociology of science stress how--for everything from techniques and instruments to classification and building schemes, and even human organ donation--achieving standards requires intense negotiation over what material, organizational, and conceptual categories can and should be deliberately controlled and therefore taken for granted.

This work explores the attitudes of American scientists towards international scientific activity, with particular respect to the oceanic sciences, during the three decades after the First World War.
In the mid-1950s, the Eisenhower Administration favoured the thesis that increased international collaboration would strengthen the Free World, ease Cold War tensions, and promote the growth of science.
The narrative traces these themes through key episodes in the history of international cooperation in oceanic science, revealing how this experience shaped strategies and expectations for cooperative scientific research.
