In this thought provoking and eye-opening webinar, we will hear Dr. Chandrima Ganguly discuss the socio-political and historic forces that have shaped so called scientific truths. And ultimately how acknowledging fallibility and, indeed, our own humanity, will lead us to practice better science.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

1. Is science objective?

2. What do we mean by scientific truth?

3. How much of our current belief is dependent on the human experience of the scientist?

YOU SHOULD ATTEND IF YOU:

1. Are drawn to understanding the different factors that are shaping our scientific beliefs

2. Are interested in reflecting on how our personal experiences shape science

3. Are passionate about the relationship between gender rights and the influence of technology
