The BIOS Blog is a communal space for thought-provoking comments and discussion surrounding various over looked, and often controversial, aspects of contemporary science. We aim to bring an interdisciplinary social science perspective to developments in the life sciences that are challenging our concepts of identity, normality, responsibility, security and humanity. Each blog topic will be discussed by multiple academics (faculty and students) from various disciplines and will be open to the public for comments. Please feel free to actively engage with this blog by commenting, posting questions and prompting further discussion. Additionally, if you would like to suggest future topics, don’t hesitate to email us and let us know.
