Gary Werskey is a historian of science who focused on the relationship between Marxism and science. He provided a new introduction to Science at the Crossroads when it was republished in 1971, and published The Visible College in 1978.[1]

Werskey was a member of the Radical Science Journal for whom he wrote "Marxist critiques of capitalist science -–A history in three movements?"[2] Here he discussed two British radical science movements firstly in the 1930s–40s, and secondly in the 1960s–70s, and speculated about the possibilities of a third movement.[3]
