Third, acknowledging that some
of the blame for the biased and one - sided media reporting on head injuries rests with some
members of the
scientific community who issue one - sided press releases and feed cherry - picked results about their findings to selected
members of the media, the authors look to a day
when the «harsh division and polarization» in the research
community (an almost inevitable byproduct, unfortunately,
of the intense competition for grant money in Concussion, Inc.), gives way to greater collaboration among researchers and a more «cordial discourse» between scientists via letters and responses to journal editors and back - and - forth debates at large academic conferences.
So,
when Thomas Gieryn suggests that «science studies has now convinced everybody that
scientific facts are only contingently credible», it is clear that «everybody» refers to the
members of a distinct
community.
