Science is more complicated than it first appears

Imagine that you must create and broadcast a YouTube video in which you explain that science is more complicated than it first appears because scienGsts are not disinterested and scienGfic facts do not simply exist out in the world. How would you use Bourdieu’s arguments about the existence of a scienGfic field in which scienGsts adopt different strategies, and why they adopt these strategies (Session 5), and Latour and Woolgar’s explanaGon of how scienGfic facts are socially constructed through inscripGon devices (Session 8), to help you explain the quesGon to your audience? Remember to not simply define the concepts or approaches specified above, but also to explain their meanings and how they help you answer the first part of the quesGon (i.e., that science is more complicated than it first appears because scienGsts are not disinterested and scienGfic fact do not simply exist out in the world). Write the answer in the form of a first-person script addressing your audience on YouTube.
