What is this thing called science? | Method As a scientist, Evelyn Fox Keller hated experiments. Today a professor emerita in the History of Science at MIT, she started out her scientific career in theoretical physics before jumping to molecular biology. What got her was the trivial volatility inherent in experimentation. The methods of theoretical physics better suited her. Both theoretical physics and molecular biology are scientific disciplines, but what does it mean that their routes to knowledge can be so different? While the scientific method is routinely described as a linear path from observation to hypothesis to experiment to discovery, the everyday of scientific labor is much less ordered. These ideals also constrain how we define, understand, and talk about science. In creating Method Quarterly, we wanted to bring together scientists, scholars, artists, and writers across the many fractured boundaries of science, to explore the rough edges and fuzzy uncertainties of scientific methods.
