Abstract

At least since the formation of the Royal Society in 1660, science has envisioned itself as a global enterprise. Science is often touted as neutral territory concerned with the pursuit of truth independent of political or other biases. All scientists, on this view, share a common ethos, regardless of country, creed, race, or gender. With the increasing globalization of science, however, cultural differences between scientists from around the world have been recognized as an increasing problem (Suresh 2011).
