It is expected that during the fellowship period (between 2010-2014), students will develop skills to work in new and promising areas of research targeted at addressing key gaps in knowledge regarding the most effective means for achieving elimination of lymphatic filariasis by 2020. Applicants should be nationals of LF endemic countries and be employees of national Ministries of Health or other public health and/or research/academic institutions involved in neglected disease control of these countries. Preference will be given to candidates who have completed a pe

UN SOLO CLIC EN   www.humanitas.es  Y ACCESO DIRECTO   ARTÍCULO Nº 46  -  ENERO 2010         Globalización y acceso a medicamentos en países de escasos recursos Marta Darder Mayer Licenciada en Farmacia. Doctorada en Bioquímica. Cooperante de la organización Médicos sin Fronteras. Mallorca (España) La excelente revisión de Marta Darder sobre la globalización y acceso a medicamentos en países pobres pone sobre la mesa los elementos clave para comprender por qué cuando se consideran los medicamentos un bien de consumo cualquiera en lugar de un bien del colectivo humano, se llega a situaciones que deberían movilizarnos de inmediato. El problema de la falta de acceso a medicamentos esenciales de momento se ha ido aproximando mediante la creación de soluciones puntuales en contextos concretos, que sin duda han servido para introducir ciertas mejoras. No obstante, urge la creación de alternativas innovadoras para responder al fallo del sistema global imperante para los países pobr

CALL FOR PAPERS “ Centers and Peripheries in Europe: The STEP research project” Conference panel at the 4th European Society for the History of Science congress, Barcelona (Spain), 18-20 November 2010 BACKGROUND In the historiography of science in Europe, the role of the various local cultures in the representation and appropriation of science is undeniable. Centers are usually defined as places where important new knowledge had been produced while peripheries only act as places that passively received and replicated imported knowledge. The genesis of this distinction is often implicit: it may result from the neglect of the actual scientific life in the so-called peripheral countries, or it may be effected by ´peripheral´ scholars’ strategy to attach their activities to what is considered an important center.  As a result of the work done by the international research group STEP in the last decade, European Periphery has become a historiographical standpoint .  Starting from t

REMINDER: CALL FOR PAPERS CIRCULATION OF MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE IN 18TH-CENTURY BRITAIN: NEW PERSPECTIVES Dear colleagues,   This is a call for the organization of a symposium on Circulation of Mathematical Knowledge in 18th-century Britain at the 4th International Conference of the European Society for the History of Science (Barcelona, 18-20 November 2010)   Background and Aims Mainly as a consequence of British unconditional adherence to Newtonian methods, the mathematical activity in eighteenth-century Britain has traditionally been regarded as “in decline”. This picture, mostly moulded by early nineteenth-century English scientists, exaggerated in the way the so-called “British mathematical isolation.” In addition, the fact that the mathematical sciences were banned from the Royal Society in the second half of the century - under the presidency of Joseph Banks - cannot be overlooked. Several authors have already made a call for revision of this picture. The aim of this sym
