Interdisciplinarity in the Making: Models and Methods in Frontier Science Nersessian Nancy J.
A cognitive ethnography of how bioengineering scientists create innovative modeling methods.In this first full-scale, long-term cognitive ethnography by a philosopher of science, Nancy J. Bioengineering scientists model complex dynamical biological systems using concepts, methods, materials, and other resources drawn primarily from engineering. Nersessian offers an account of how scientists at the interdisciplinary frontiers of bioengineering create novel problem-solving methods.
What Nersessian examines here is how cutting-edge bioengineering scientists integrate the cognitive, social, material, and cultural dimensions of practice. They aim to understand these systems sufficiently to control or intervene in them. Her findings and conclusions have broad implications for researchers in philosophy, science studies, cognitive science, and interdisciplinary studies, as well as
