So delighted to welcome Prof. Heather Douglas to The HPS Podcast!
In this illuminating conversation, we explore the history & legacy of the “value-free ideal.” Heather offers insights on the evolving responsibilities of scientists, and presents her bold vision for a new social contract for science.
