Social Sciences - Philosophy
English term or phrase: Laboratories inside out: the world wide lab
Se trata de un título con un juego de palabras dificil para el castellano. Había pensado algo así como 'laboratorios dentro del exterior: el laboratorio global'

CONTEXTO:

In the time past, a scientist or a philosopher of science worked in a closed site, the laboratory, where a small group of specialised experts scaled down (or scaled up) phenomena which they could repeat at will through simulations or modelling before presenting their results. Today the laboratory has extended its walls to the whole planet. Instruments are everywhere. Houses, factories, hospitals have all became subsidiaries of the laboratories.

neutral  celiacp: coincido con Claudia. "Inside out" no se refiere a la traducción literal, sino a que se muestran en toda su magnitud "al destape", o (más coloquial, y en otros contextos) "a saco".

laboratories inside out: the world wide lab
los laboratorios se abren al mundo: el laboratorio global


Explanation:
Creo que la opción de Claudia es la más precisa. De todas maneras, dependiendo del texto, lo del destape igual no te encaja. Por este motivo, propongo esta otra expresión. Los laboratorios, como espacios cerrados que son o que han sido hasta ahora (según su contexto), se abren al mundo y dejan de estar aislados en relación a éste. Creo que los laboratorios se abren, más que no desnudarse.
Ya sé que "abrirse" quizás no transmite el mismo impacto que "inside out", pero ....
Por si ayuda, nada más.
Saludos
Quim
