This brief and forceful manifesto denounces the cost of acceleration in the academic sphere, where the pressure to obtain rapid results clashes with industrial interests. The author proposes an alternative model of deceleration, advocating for scientists to take their time to research with integrity and without succumbing to the promotional goals of sponsors. A necessary debate on the implications of speed in contemporary science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book starts with the dismissal of researcher Barbara Van Dyck for participating in an action to decontaminate a field of genetically modified potatoes. This case serves as a vehicle for Isabelle Stengers to articulate a critique of the current relationship between universities and their industrial partners. The author denounces how the rush to achieve results causes research to succumb to commercial interests, and advocates for a deceleration of the sciences. She thus places herself at the center of the debate on the need to recover a time of one's own for scientific research, far removed from the demands of immediate productivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of the acceleration of scientific production and its consequences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDenunciation of the influence of industrial interests on academic research.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDefense of a slow science model based on deceleration and reflection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the Van Dyck case as an example of conflict between scientific ethics and institutional pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProposal for a time of one's own for research, far removed from the logic of rapid results.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis manifesto is aimed at researchers, academics, and students interested in the philosophy of science and the critique of the current university system.
