摘要

Research on charged issues such as sexual identity sparks fierce debate. But people who feel that causes for justice trump science and the facts should expect short shrift from Alice Dreger. The title of her engaging book about science controversies, Galileo's Middle Finger, summarizes her feisty attitude. It refers to a display at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy: the finger in question, removed from Galileos body in 1737. After seeing it years ago, Dreger came to regard it as her "personal talisman". Dreger is a clinical professor in medical humanities and bioethics. She is, however, more accurately described as a historian of science and passionate advocate, who has specialized in studying controversies that involve research results distasteful to some activists. She has thus focused on the, as she puts it, "fraternity of beleaguered and bandaged academics who had produced scholarship offensive to one identity group or another and who had consequently been the subject of various forms of shout-downs."
