This initiative aims to create a new forum for students and researchers in the broad area of biosciences, medical sciences and practice, disability, technologies and the human, environmental health and other related areas. The focus will be on exchanging practices and ideas at the early stages of research between PGRs/ ECRs as well as with more experienced researchers. This first meeting was led by Annamaria and Zheng Yang who explored issues of ‘neutrality’ in qualitative research. The meeting was attended by 15 PGRs/ ECRs and was a great success. Future meetings will be held every third Monday of the month. A more detailed description is given below. If you would like to be added to the invitation list please contact Sophie Rowson.

Our work
How we understand being ‘human’ differs between disciplines and has changed radically over time. We are living in an age marked by rapid growth in knowledge about the human body and brain, and new technologies with the potential to change them.
