We are organizing two informal online meetings via Zoom, during which we will provide further information about the PhilInBIoMed master program and answer any questions you may have.

I will discuss epistemology, methodology, ethics, rigor, creativity, impact, integrity, and trustworthiness in science, science communication, and science application. Obesity and nutrition research examples will illustrate points. Causal inference, error correction, and honest communication practices will be emphasized.

The International Master of Philosophy in Biology and Medicine in Bordeaux offers a unique philosophical approach to the life sciences that combines the development of conceptual tools and direct engagement with scientific theory and practice.

Behavioral models, neural representation, cognitive functions and dysfunctions, cellular memory, even NMDARs. Subjects typical of any neuroscience conference, but examined through the lens of philosophy: this is what the attendees of the Impact of Philosophical Thinking on Today’s Neuroscience meeting at the Bordeaux Neurocampus were treated to this past 24th and 25th of November. The first conference of its kind to be held in France, the meeting brought together international neuroscientists and philosophers who approach neuroscientific questions through philosophical perspectives, with researchers who apply scientometric approaches to evaluating the extent and nature of cooperation between the two disciplines. The objective of the conference was to launch a new interdisciplinary research project which itself unites Bordeaux-based neuroscientists (Nora Abrous, Serge Ahmed, Thomas Boraud, and Aline Desmedt) with Bordeaux-based philosophers of science (Cédric Brun and Thomas Pradeu) in order to investigate, with the help of neuroscience and philosophy post-doc Christopher Stevens, the influence philosophical thinking has exercised and continues to exercise within the brain sciences.
