WYA Scientific Controversy Workshop

Scientific controversies, what are they, how to recognize and navigate them in your own early-mid academic career? Come join us for a 2 hour-workshop on controversies in science. We start with a brief lecture by Dr. Hugh Desmond (Philosophy Group) on Scientific Controversies. Afterwards you will work in smaller groups to discuss controversies in your own field as well as coping strategies. We close with a plenary discussion on how to cope with scientific controversies in the research fields of Wageningen University. Moderator: Dr. Kevin Matson (Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Group).

Please register now, there are 30-40 places available. A no-show fee of 25 euro applies when you cannot send somebody else for your spot in the event. In case of too many applicants, priority will be given to early-mid career researchers.
