      ab: The writer highlights the need to formulate anthropologies of science and technology that pay attention to both the cultural switches of the heterogeneous communities within which sciences are cultured and technologies are peopled, and to the reflexive social institutions within which medical, environmental, informational, and other technosciences must increasingly operate. He outlines four quasidistinctive genealogies of the anthropology of science and technology that collectively have channeled the 1990s into the early 21st century. Specifically, he discusses cultural skeins and sensibilities; social worlds and institutions; technoscientific proving grounds; and spatially distributed, culturally heterogeneous, configurations of technoscientific assemblages.
