", "abstract": "Although the United States became politically independent of Great Britain in 1776, through much of the nineteenth century its science, like its economy and high culture, remained something akin to a colonial dependency of the original mother country. The development of scientific independence varied with discipline. For evolutionary biology, the stirrings of independence began in the late nineteenth century, and by World War I, American genetics, a child of evolutionary biology, had achieved equal rank with its British counterpart.\nThis paper explores that change, principally via a quantitative assessment of genetics in the United States and Britain. Attention is given to the number of practitioners of the discipline, publication rates, the distribution of publishers in terms of productivity and institutional location, and the type of work done. A major conclusion is that American genetics came to challenge, and in certain ways to surpass, British genetics not only because of superiority in number of geneticists, institutions, and funds for research but because of the pluralist character of the American research system.", "date": "2017-10-06", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "California Institute of Technology", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20171005-143753488", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20171005-143753488", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Social-Science-Working-Papers" } ] }, "doi": "10.7907/bpyzy-pyv81", "primary_object": { "basename": "sswp382.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/bpyzy-pyv81/files/sswp382.pdf" }, "resource_type": "monograph", "pub_year": "2017", "author_list": "Kevles, Daniel J. and Kolden-Dimotakis, Susan" }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/9e6db-bse31", "eprint_id": 39734, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 02:19:19", "lastmod": "2024-01-13 06:03:22", "type": "monograph", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Berkowitz-Ari", "name": { "family": "Berkowitz", "given": "Ari" }, "orcid": "0000-0001-9002-5874" }, { "id": "Kevles-D-J", "name": { "family": "Kevles", "given": "Daniel J." }, "orcid": "0009-0007-3978-9351" } ] }, "title": "Patenting Human Genes: the Advent of Ethics in the Political Economy of Patent Law", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "Published - HumsWP-0165.pdf

At the same\ntime, civilian scientists became deeply engaged in advising\nthe government upon the technologies of national security,\nobtaining access to the White House with the creation, in\n1951, of the Science Advisory Committee, through which they\nhelped accelerate the nation's missile development program.\nUnder this patronage and influence, physics flourished-both\nhigh-energy particle physics and branches of physics\nsuch as quantum and micro-electronics that were directly\nrelated to national security. The result was a\ndiversification of physics and its integration across a\nbroad front into the R&D network of national security.", "date": "1988-09", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "California Institute of Technology", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20111111-094852673", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20111111-094852673", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.

At its core is a statistical data base drawn from successive editions of American Men of Science. The book adds in a major way to our knowledge of its central subject. It also opens a window onto several little explored topics in the history of American science. However, Rossiter makes no standard tests of the significance of her valuable\nstatistics. More important, she commits the major methodological sin of giving inadequate attention to alternative explanations of the numerical data. The result is that while Rossiter amply documents the considerable discrimination that women faced in the American scientific enterprise, she leaves cloudy the relative force of that discrimination compared to internalized cultural norms, marital and maternal obligations, and the like.", "date": "1983-03", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "California Institute of Technology", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20090915-103326214", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20090915-103326214", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Humanities-Working-Papers" } ] }, "doi": "10.7907/eqrke-d8v57", "primary_object": { "basename": "HumsWP-0079.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/eqrke-d8v57/files/HumsWP-0079.pdf" }, "resource_type": "monograph", "pub_year": "1983", "author_list": "Kevles, Daniel J." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/26m4c-y8t89", "eprint_id": 15154, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 14:30:37", "lastmod": "2024-01-12 23:37:23", "type": "monograph", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Kevles-D-J", "name": { "family": "Kevles", "given": "Daniel J." } } ] }, "title": "The professions of science in America: their ambivalent history", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "note": "Prepared for Delivery in the\nNotre Dame Lecture Series on\nThe Professions in American History\nNovember 10, 1981\n\nPublished - HumsWP-0067.pdf
", "abstract": "Science started to become professionalized in the United\nStates during the Jackson~an period. A principal aim of\nprofessionalization was to secure the goals and standards of research from interference by laymen by the institutionalization of scientific autonomy. Then and since, the scientific professions have sought to\nlegitimate themselves by promising various quid pro quos to the society in exchange for the privilege of autonomy. The promises have included the claim that the study of science would foster morally disinterested habits of thinking and that the results of research would lead to practical., material benefit. Since the turn of the century, the claims of legitimation have in many respects been substantially validated, and the scientific professions have grown and prospered. But the very success of science, particularly after it became a favored ward of the federal government, combined with the arrangements of autonomy to provoke popular resentment and, in the era of Vietnam, rebellion. The turmoil revealed that the American scientific professions, at once respected and suspected, esoteric yet indispensable, were destined to live in tension with the larger society indefinitely.", "date": "1981-11-10", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "California Institute of Technology", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20090818-132859857", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20090818-132859857", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "local_group": { "items": [ { "id": "Humanities-Working-Papers" } ] }, "doi": "10.7907/26m4c-y8t89", "primary_object": { "basename": "HumsWP-0067.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/26m4c-y8t89/files/HumsWP-0067.pdf" }, "resource_type": "monograph", "pub_year": "1981", "author_list": "Kevles, Daniel J." }, { "id": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/vmd29-b3v05", "eprint_id": 14563, "eprint_status": "archive", "datestamp": "2023-08-19 11:56:15", "lastmod": "2024-01-12 23:32:08", "type": "monograph", "metadata_visibility": "show", "creators": { "items": [ { "id": "Kevles-D-J", "name": { "family": "Kevles", "given": "Daniel J." } } ] }, "title": "Eugenics in the United States and Britain, 1890-1930 : a comparative analysis", "ispublished": "unpub", "full_text_status": "public", "keywords": "eugenics: history", "note": "Published - HumsWP-0019.pdf
