Example Sentences
- "In many discussions the concepts of big and little science are presented in near mythical terms — terms that cloud the complexity of the issues involved. Little science is usually represented by the lone researcher working in the laboratory on self-chosen problems, generally oblivious to the needs and/or requests of society."
- "Today big science has new, exciting tasks. This should not be at the cost of a loss of little science. There is a need to revive and protect it, in order to insure the continued well-being of science as a whole."
- "Little science is conducted on a smaller scale, with smaller communities, less agreement on research questions and methods, and less infrastructure."
