Descripció: La comunicació verbal i no verbal és una assignatura pendent i molt necessària en els nostres entorns clínics. La bona notícia és que és una assignatura que es pot aprendre. Aquest curs d’estiu pretén fer visible i posar en relleu la importància de la comunicació en els àmbits medicosanitaris i, en particular, la comunicació entre pacients i professionals sanitaris, així com la necessitat de millorar-la constantment. Volem crear un espai de reflexió i diàleg des del qual contribuir a una comunicació veritable que no es reduïsca a la transmissió d’informació sinó que promoga la comprensió, la sensibilitat, l’empatia, l’empoderament dels ...

UCL Press is delighted to announce the publication of a brand new open access book that will be of interest to list subscribers: Science Policy under Thatcher by Jon Agar. Download it free from: http://bit.ly/317kcov ****************************** **** Science Policy under Thatcher  Jon Agar Download free: hhttp://bit.ly/317kcov ****************************** **** Margaret Thatcher was prime minister from 1979 to 1990, during which time her Conservative administration transformed the political landscape of Britain. Science Policy under Thatcher is the first book to examine systematically the interplay of science and government under her leadership. Thatcher was a working scientist before she became a professional politician, and she maintained a close watch on science matters as prime minister. Scientific knowledge and advice were important to many urgent issues of the 1980s, from late Cold War questions of defence to emerging environmental problems ...

Call for Papers: Practicing Evidence – Evidencing Practice. How is (Scientific) Knowledge Validated, Valued and Contested? International Conference and Pre-Conference Workshop 19-21st February, 2020 Munich, Carl Friedrich von Siemens Stiftung DFG Research Group 2448 DEADLINE: 15th September 2019 KEYNOTE: Angela Creager, Professor in the History of Science, Princeton University “Evidence” has been generating a lot of interest lately. The concept has become central to public controversies surrounding issues such as climate change and the anti-vaccination movement, and it served as a kind of rallying cry in the “science marches” and debates about the “post-truth” society. Campaigns for more data-driven, “evidence-based” decision-making have emerged in fields as diverse as medicine, politics and management. Meanwhile, the number of conferences and research projects reflecting on the nature and functions of the concept seem to be on the rise too. Evidence h...

El modelo del déficit supone una visión ortodoxa de la elaboración de conocimiento científico, que postula que el saber circula desde los expertos dentro de las instituciones, hacia los inexpertos que están fuera de estas. Esta perspectiva a su vez asume que la movilidad del saber científico opera bajo la lógica de transmisión desde el centro hacia la periferia -de lo global hacia lo local-, cuando se ha podido demostrar que el conocimiento local y ...

The 2019 Science Museum Group Research Conference will take place 4-5 November 2019, at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester.  Here, on an internationally significant industrial heritage site, in the world’s first industrial city, we will emphasise the place of industry. As ever, all Science Museum Group staff and students are invited to come and speak about their current research.  Each year we also have a central concern and this year we particularly welcome offers of papers, panels, case studies, screenings and performances on the following topics: Place-based approaches to science and industry.  From the coffee house to the technical school, from bricks and mortar to regional strategies.  What does a focus on place and space bring to our understanding of science and industry?  Interfaces and juxtapositions of industry with other disciplines and frames.  From applying a science, technology, engineering and maths lens to i...

Call for Abstracts / Registration The Centre for Philosophy of Science (ZfW) at WWU Münster, Germany will host a workshop on Thursday, July 11, 1 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. and Friday, July 12, 2019, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on (Scientific) Observation and Background Effects Conceptualization, Epistemic Issues, & Mechanisms. Venue: WWU Münster, Department of Philosophy, Room DPL 23.315, Domplatz 23, 48143 Münster, Germany. Which effects of background beliefs on scientific observation are possible, even actual? This classic question concerning the theory-ladenness of observation has recently seen renewed interest in epistemology, philosophy of mind, social philosophy ( implicit bias ), and in the neuro- and cognitive sciences ( predictive coding ). On the one hand, we are interested in effects which proceed not just from background beliefs, but from a whole range of cognitive states: desires, hopes, worries, prejudices and moods. On the other hand, we are...
