Resumen:
A week went by where a set of disconnected ?or mildly connected- particles were being entangled together by strange energetic bonds, or even chemical downloads that made some new electric cellular connections. Going back to an old Science, Technology and Society debate, one may think of a network planner, given the particles? gathering was no accident indeed, or a self-organized process, where heterogeneous elements got aligned in heterogeneous ways in a fledgling ?but up and coming- socio-technical network. Considering the empirical base gathered through that one week, one might say it was probably a little bit of both. And what circulated among this energetic field were humans, worldwide research institutions, artifacts, knowledge, techniques, biological material, huge science labs, funding, plane tickets, interactive learning, disciplinary frames, S&T policies, sociotechnical imaginaries, and coffee. This conference-oriented short piece explores different aspects within the outcomes of the Sao Paulo School of Advanced Sciences 2014 ?Biotechnology, Biosocialities, and the Governance of the Life Sciences? in terms of network and community building and the consolidation of a field of study worldwide.
