"Science, since people must do it, is a socially embedded activity. It progresses by hunch, vision, and intuition, Much of its change through time does not record a closer approach to absolute truth, but the alteration of cultural contexts that influence it so strongly. "

About "Biobeats: Sounds from your laboratory"

A lab, through its instruments and people, and the interaction between the two, is a cacophony of sounds.

For example: the beeps and buzz of instruments, the click of the tip on the pipette, the rocking of blot in the rocking machine, the spinner dissolving the reagent tin the water, the slightly imbalanced centrifuge, the crackling of -80 C fridge, the sound of ELISA machine taking recording over each well, opening an Eppendorf tune, dismantling a western blot apparatus, the calm hum in the microscopy room, the noisy filter of cell hood, the list goes on.

Send us an audio clipping of a sound that means biology lab to you.
