We've just posted a new preprint, "Care for the Soul of Science", by @sarahderijcke.bsky.socialosf.io/preprints/me...#metascience#sts We bring together crisis framing and religious motifs around scientific reform. A thread: 1/

Scientific reform is surrounded by a lot of religious vocabulary, often drawn from perceived parallels with religious reforms. Whether it is confession or atonement or something else entirely... (e.g. kevinmunger.substack.com/p/do-somethi...). How can we understand such links fruitfully? 2/

Great to see this: after reading the Munger piece last week, I was wondering who was looking at the religious analogies used in discussions of science reform.
