What a sad article. Aside from being tautological in its description of what science is (which should make any sociologist of science blush), it gives no indication at all of what the study of the sociology of science is about. It features two footnotes, one from a popular press book by an activist and one from a mid-1970s article in the Am. Rev. of Sociology which I suspect is not being described correctly at all. Very sad. --24.147.86.187 01:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, instead of just complaining I tried to fix it up a little. Best of luck with it. -24.147.86.187 01:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
