Topic
During the last few years, especially due to the pandemic, the public had an idiosyncratic chance to look into and beyond the laboratories and get a glimpse on how science is made. Not everyone was happy as political, religious, moral, and many other non-scientific influences and values reared their heads. Often scientific uncertainty was identified as the major source of science's unreliability, thus opening up the public space for pseudo-scientific issues and cleared the road for all the suspected activities done on the fringe. Many of these topics of discussion and so-called debates were related with bio-medical issues. This course will offer a practical and theoretical guide for students about values, the public estimation of science and their interconnections, with a special focus on biomedical and health sciences.
