SCIENCE STUDIES EVENTS CALENDAR
At some of the meetings of the Science Studies Group, one or two members of the group introduce themselves by describing their past and current interests and researches as they might relate to some aspect of the history or philosophy of science, medicine, and technology and their social contexts. Other meetings involve lectures, panel-discussions or round-tables on various special topics. We will also continue our exploration of issues regarding complexity and scale. Feel free to suggest topics for discussion to Otávio Bueno or Davis Baird.
