Latour writes, there is no such thing as science, only scientists, fragile and small in themselves, shuffling about in laboratories in their slippers, with their freezers and microscopes, their test tubes and computers, drinking coffee with their colleagues, going home after work and wondering whether to barbecue or if the clouds above the hills mean it’s going to rain. That this is so means “science” is something that cannot be localized without violating that singularity, but which at the same time obviously exists, as the sum of activities performed by scientists.
