Abstract

The laboratory has extended its walls to the whole planet. Instruments are everywhere. Houses, factories, hospitals have become so many subsidiaries of the labs. Think, for instance of global positioning systems: thanks to this satellite network geologists, naturalists, can now take measurements with the same range of precision outside and inside their laboratories. ... Think of the new requirements for traceability... which are as stringent outside factories as those for inside production sites. The difference between natural history, outdoor science, and lab science, has slowly been eroded.
