The philosophy Ph.D. program offers a Designated Emphasis in [http://sts.ucdavis.edu/ Science & Technology Studies], where the faculty include historian of science [http://innovation.ucdavis.edu/people/biagioli Mario Biagioli] and cultural anthropologist [http://dumit.net/ Joseph Dumit], author of [http://dumit.net/drugs-for-life/ <em>Drugs for Life (2012 Duke University Press)</em>]. Both Prof. Millstein and Prof. Griesemer are affiliated faculty with the STS program. And, as it happens, Prof. Griesemer's 1989 “[http://sss.sagepub.com/content/19/3/387.short boundary objects]” paper with Leigh Star is the most cited paper in <em>Social Studies of Science</em>, a leading STS journal. As of November 2014, the paper has been cited 5,142 times overall.
