This time our Journal Club will in fact be a "Research café" with the title "(Computer) Science and society".
--------
This course will happen as a round table, always underlined by ethical discussions, and has a mixture of three main topics:
- education
- biology
- technology
-----
In biology, for example, we thought of starting by revisiting some elementary questions such as:
> Is the organism a mechanism (machine)?
> Is the organism controlled by its parts?
> What is the whole of life in an organism?
> Are thoughts a product of the brain?
And...
> Are we allowed to ask ourselves and answer these questions?
-----
In general we thought of having an open space, in which everyone will have a chance to express opinions and listen. The goal is more to enlarge our scientific views and critical senses, but we may also find new answers and pathways to follow.
