The common theme of postmodern epistemology is that there is not _the truth_. Therefore, science is not an institution that finds _the truth_. This is not about filtering and quirks and biases, it is much more fundamental. mistersquid's sibling post to yours describes that very well, much better than the article snippet you referred to.
I'm not sure if this insight has brought positive changes in science. But it doesn't matter. Philosophy doesn't have the purpose to bring improvements to science.
As a side note, when modern science was established, no scientist talked about the influence of social, economic, or institutional contexts on their own work, as far as I know. If this is nowadays perceived as obvious fact, I would consider that as positive influence of philosophy on science.
It is extremely annoying when people present this is some kind of new groundbreaking idea, when it fact this is the exact observation that lead to creation of the scientific method.
The basis of the scientific method is the notion that human perception has quirks, therefore to learn about reality as it really is we need to design system that correct for those quirks. Alan Kay and Neil DeGrasse Tyson have good talks on this subject.
Big problems with modern science are not philosophical ones. They stem from institutional structures, incentives and the economy of modern science. Guess what? An institution distorting it own conclusions because of group biases bad economic incentives is not conceptually different from human brain distorting conclusions because of individual biases and instincts. It is something that should and can be handled through better process design.
Most scientists do not deny that these problems exist. There are plenty of them who analyze these issues, criticize the current state of affairs and propose actionable solution. Maybe we should listen to them before listening to post-modernists, eh? I am aware of exactly zero positive changes in science that ever resulted from post-modernist critique. Feel free to provide counter-examples.
