a fun story I heard about Steve Woolgar

That while at Brunel University, he once gave a lecture in which he said only the following: “Science? There is no such thing!” And then ended the lecture immediately and went into a very charged Q & A session.

It’s an interesting tactic, and might be worth mimicking someday under the right circumstances.

[ADDENDUM: I should have added that Woolgar was a very welcoming host at his STS group on Wednesday. Nice group to chat with.]
