Acknowledgments
This book has been a project long in the making. The ideas for this book originally started in my PhD dissertation work at the Pennsylvania State University; I am grateful to my friends, my teachers, and my dissertation committee—Richard Doyle, Stuart Selber, Susan Squier, and Robert Yarber—for their inspiring and enlightening conversations, provocations, insights, and advice. I am also grateful for graduate fellowships from Penn State and from a National Science Foundation grant (Science, Medicine, and Technology in Culture; Pennsylvania State University, 2002–2003; principal investigators: Londa Schiebinger, Robert Proctor, Richard Doyle, and Susan Squier) that gave me time to pursue these ideas.
