Enacting the 'neuro' in practice: translational research, adhesion and the promise of porosity.

摘要: This article attends to the processes through which neuroscience and neuro are enacted in a specific context: translational research group that was setting of an ethnographic study. The therefore provides close-up perspective on intersection research. In scientific we studied, multiple irreducible any particular entity or set practices across laboratory clinical divide. Despite this multiplicity, group’s work held together ‘promise porosity’ – one day there would be translation lab findings into clinically effective intervention. promise embodied figure Group Leader whose expertise spanned basic neurosciences. is theorized terms contrast between cohesion adhesion interdisciplinary groupings. We end by speculating role ‘vivification’ our case mediated rendering ‘alive’ expectations collaboration.
