Dear All, We cordially invite you to join us as we open the academic activity of the Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker Center https://uni-tuebingen.de/einrichtungen/zentrale-einrichtungen/carl-friedrich-von-weizsaecker-zentrum/cfvw-zentrum/ (University of Tübingen) with the online event "Making Responsible Decisions in and about Science": https://uni-tuebingen.de/einrichtungen/zentrale-einrichtungen/carl-friedrich-von-weizsaecker-zentrum/veranstaltungen/making-responsible-decisions-in-and-about-science/ Speakers: Nancy Cartwright (Durham University and University of California, San Diego) Helen E. Longino (Stanford University) Date: 6 April, 2021 Time: 17h-20h (CET) Registration form: https://forms.gle/7MF1QJ839XgtbUu37 <https://forms.gle/7MF1QJ839XgtbUu37> Event description: Humanity looks to the scientific community, now more than ever, in order to provide solutions to today?s challenges. Decisions made by scientists thus directly and deeply influence human lives. The Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker Center is interested in the foundations of responsible science. For example, how can we identify and avoid scientific misconduct, e.g., plagiarism and fraud, or the abuse of science for commercial purposes? How do we navigate issues of morally questionable research, research funding, and global inequalities? How can scientists ensure optimal knowledge production in the face of the replication crisis, cognitive biases in science, and the politics of peer review? Further, how can we protect scientists from becoming commodities when their products are so ardently sought by politicians and society? We are looking forward to seeing you at the event, Michael T. Stuart and Vlasta Sikimi?, the organizers -- [LOGIC] mailing list http://www.dvmlg.de/mailingliste.html Archive: http://www.illc.uva.nl/LogicList/ provided by a collaboration of the DVMLG, the Maths Departments in Bonn and Hamburg, and the ILLC at the Universiteit van Amsterdam
