Janet Vertesi is assistant professor of sociology at Princeton University.

"""Vertesi takes us on a mission. Based on extraordinary access among the research teams of interplanetary spacecraft, she makes a convincing case that organizational differences make a difference in the types of knowledge produced by these scientists. The analysis is solid, the argument bold, and the writing lively.""-- ""David Stark, Columbia University"""
