Controversies in science often centre on methodology and integrity; these are the gatekeepers of proper science. But what exactly defines proper science as proper is not universal, especially in collaborative fields of enquiry where different perspectives meet. These encounters often result in friction, yet may equally give rise to new perspectives on proper science. A tour of collaborative endeavours like structural biology and nutrigenomics highlights some of those frictions and the controversies that can result from the encounter of 'wet' and 'dry' science. Attuning scientists to the plurality of proper science may safeguard many a scientist's integrity from being questioned unjustly.
科学中的争议往往集中在方法论和诚信上；它们是正当科学的把关者。但究竟什么将正当科学定义为正当，这并非普遍适用，尤其是在不同观点交汇的合作性研究领域。这些交锋常常引发摩擦，但同样可能产生关于正当科学的新观点。对结构生物学和营养基因组学等合作性研究的一番审视，凸显了其中的一些摩擦以及“湿”科学与“干”科学相遇可能引发的争议。让科学家们认识到正当科学的多元性，或许能保护许多科学家的诚信不被无端质疑。
