WORKSHOPS
Workshop ‘The Place of the Organism in Biology and Medicine', Ruhr University Bochum and Online, 16–18 November 2022
Individuality is a key concept in human societies. How we define individuals and their boundaries affects our social relations, what kind of rights and duties we have, as well as when we are considered healthy or sick. In all these realms, the biological side of humans’ individuality – the organism – plays a crucial role. Currently, after many decades dominated by the paradigm of the gene, the concept of organism is making a comeback in the biological and medical sciences. The individual organism is again recognized as a causally efficacious, autonomous, and active unit that transcends the properties of genes – especially in fields like epigenetics, niche construction theory, evolutionary developmental biology, and precision and personalized medicine. The aim of this workshop is to address these recent developments from a perspective of integrated history and philosophy of science. It focuses on (i) philosophical, biotheoretical, and conceptual, (ii) historical, as well as (iii) (bio)medical and social dimensions of today’s ‘return of the organism’. In particular, it aims at discussing solutions for theoretical and societal challenges of organism-centered biosciences in the 21st century.

PEDAGOGY
We received a number of articles, books, and websites for teaching materials. I will compile these and share them out soon. Here is another one about Charles Darwin
Darwin Online
Years in the making, launched today, a new component of Darwin Online: Communicated by Darwin. In addition to Darwin's own publications, he also directly facilitated many publications by others— at least sixty-eight between 1838 and 1882. This list of publications is the result of many years of research and contains items not previously known. These constitute an often overlooked part of Darwin's scientific output. http://darwin-online.org.uk/EditorialIntroductions/vanWyhe_Communicated_by_Darwin.html?fbclid=IwAR0X1crhESppSHCUhGBXkBVh1ve8zDqK_O0RcF7BsdILe4LYoGSBZrzYhp8
