There have been recognized specialists in the subject for some years now. Recently we have witnessed the rise of organized specialist research units linked to universities. Examples are the Research Centre for Economics and Health (CRES) at Pompeu Fabra University and the Health and Pharmaceuticals Social Studies Seminar at Carlos III University in Madrid.

Bechtel (1989) argues that the scientific community reflects the values of the larger American society in its social structures, beliefs, and attitudes. Therefore, like American society in general, American science (including much of the literature in social studies of science) reflects the dominance of whites, especially males. Bechtel argues that historically the African American scientist was viewed as an anomaly. 

Although Zuckerman (1988) later concludes that science appears to exhibit some of the same structures of discrimination as other occupations, she cautions that available data at the time suggest that the scientific community is marked by an intense commitment to achievement over ascription. She contends that her thorough review of the relevant literature reveals a lack of compelling evidence of discrimination in the American scientific community. Today, few scholars of the social studies of science accept this view. White women have, without a doubt, made substantial progress in science careers over the last two decades. Nonetheless, in many areas, full gender equity still remains elusive (Long, 2001). 

If the culture of science is responsible for the loss of many students, including curricular materials from the social studies of science actually may help students recognize, understand, and overcome their estrangement. Scientists can no longer afford to ignore the fact that science is a social activity, with norms, attitudes, and practices shaped by history, institutions, beliefs, and values (see Lederman, 2004).

In September of 1920, Polanyi took a position in Berlin at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Fiber Chemistry, which was housed in the buildings of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry directed by Fritz Haber. [8] By this time Polanyi had published his doctoral thesis and papers in several areas of thermodynamics, including papers on Nernst s heat theorem and Einstein s quantum theory for specific heats. [9] In the next 13 years, before he was forced to leave Germany in 1933, Polanyi worked in several areas of physical chemistry in Berlin, afterwards heading Manchester s physical chemistry laboratory for fifteen years. In 1948 Polanyi exchanged his professorship in chemistry at Manchester for a chair in social studies, thus formally becoming a philosopher.
