As co-organisers of a planned workshop to be held at the University of Exeter (UK), entitled 'The "Artificial" and the "Natural" in the Life Sciences, c. 1850-1950', we would like to announce the dates for the workshop (25th-27th June 2014), and the call for papers.

More details of this event are on the workshop website located at: http://exeter2014.wordpress.com.

The conference programme includes three plenary talks by invited speakers including Helen Curry (University of Cambridge) and Jon Hodge (University of Leeds) and multiple slots for contributed papers.

The call for contributions is now open. We particularly invite postgraduate students with an interest in the history and/or philosophy of the life sciences to submit papers. Abstracts should be no more than 300 words in length and should be sent as word documents, PDFs or in the body of an e-mail to Tarquin Holmes at th252@ex.ac.uk by Friday 14th February 2014.

We look forward to hearing from prospective participants,
