Discussion
In truth, researching and writing this guide has been a challenge because few have put the disparate pieces together. Instead, a review of journal articles, books, and news items revealed:
- material written from a technical, regulatory, and methodological perspective, with little to none from the sociological and anthropological perspective;
- material that takes a focused, analytical approach to laboratory activities and not so much a broader, human interest approach to those activities; and
- material that simply glosses over or fails to mention the relevance of laboratories to manufacturing, research and development (R&D), and analytical activities.
As such, it doesn't take much effort to reach a perhaps inconclusive belief that today the laboratory setting and its researchers are so interwoven into the fabric of our society — largely behind the scenes — that the average person is practically blind to them and their impact on their day-to-day life.
