Abstract

This article explores connections between science and tecnology studies and research in
the field of education, and is based on the work of Stevens (2013), who takes us on an ethnographic and
historical stroll among bioinformatics laboratories. The article was conceived during a conversation
between the co-authors, who come from different countries and were urged to make and comment on
epistemological and ontological inferences from the transformational technologies in the life sciences for
education research. The essay looks at gaps in genetic sequencing processing and in the technologically
mediated production of data in order to pedagogically prepare ourselves and others for a life that we are
already living. Our argument is that it is up to research in the field of education to explore scientific
practices in a way that imaginatively mobilizes people, so that we can change that questions we make
about life, knowledge and politics in a more than “human” environment.
