This summer workshop is aimed at philosophers, scientists, and scholars working on or within the life sciences, with the goal of fostering interdisciplinary interaction and encouraging collaboration. The overall goal of the workshop will be to construct a “serendipity generator”, an event structured to provide ample opportunity and room for innovative ideas to naturally emerge.
Submit a ~500 word abstract for a 30min talk by March 31. Works in progress not yet submitted for publication are especially encouraged. Submit abstracts via email to pabstworkshop@gmail.com
