Awesome!!! I would ask you to do Chalmers next (What is This Thing Called Science), but I can see that you have done Kuhn because you show that it is, largely, a book about history and, as such, belongs on this channel. Regarding your final question, I think that any scientist can be improved by also becoming a Natural Philosopher. It may not affect their data collection and daily routine, but I do think it stands a chance of altering their processing of those data and overall consideration of them. It becomes sort of a , 'Can't hurt; might help' situation.
Thank you. As you say I'm reluctant to wander too far from my own expertise. I think even Popper would be too far as he firmly begins and ends as a philosopher.
You should report on your experience. I've never read them back to back or even in close proximity so have never really compared them directly in that sense.

A good precis of Kuhn.
I am half way through Popper and have Kuhn checked out.
