The Department of Social Studies of Medicine invites you to a seminar with Sabina Leonelli
Towards an Epistemology of E-Biology
The
data deluge is upon us, and online databases, visualisation tools
and automated data analysis are gaining authority as the 'best' and
'only' ways to cope with the amounts of information available. This
talk examines some implications of this shift in research practices
within the biological and biomedical sciences. Are we witnessing
the rise of a new scientific epistemology?
