The aftermath of World War II witnessed a whole new phase of globalization, covering almost every nook and corner of the world, integrating and densifying previous historical interconnections, and impacting almost all domains in the social sciences and humanities, and history of science was no exception. Since the end of the twentieth century, the historiography of science has undergone important changes in its approach to the study of the life sciences and medicine. The field of science and technology studies (STS) has focused on the need to write transnational connected narratives based on a reciprocal treatment of global and local contexts that describes the dynamics of scientific practices. This transnational approach seeks to abandon the concept of the nation as the main unit of analysis to understand the development of the history of science. It also seeks to move away from narratives focused on Europe and the USA to explain the role of transnational exchange networks and the circulation of knowledge, people, artifacts, and scientific practices. This new perspective allows to achieve a novel understanding of science as a historical phenomenon.
