UChicago Press Releases New Volume on ߣƵ Science and History
This just in! The latest volume in the series, is now available from University of Chicago Press.
In ?, historian and philosopher of science probes the assumptions that underlie the generally accepted view that germ cells (sperm and egg cells) have limited capacity to regenerate. “This book is about germline regeneration – how many scientists assume it works and how we can reenvision it working,” MacCord writes.
The volume derives from a collaboration between MacCord and germline biologist , a former Hibbitt Fellow at the Marine Biological Laboratory (ߣƵ), where they joined together to produce the work.
MacCord is the McDonnell Fellow and program manager for the at the ߣƵ, the goal of which is to “bring historians and philosophers of science into collaboration with life scientists in order to transform the research of both fields.”
This is the eighth volume in the Convening Science: Discovery at the Marine Biological Laboratory series, which is edited by historian and philosopher of biology and ߣƵ Fellow , director of the ߣƵ History Project.
The series “highlights the ongoing role ߣƵ plays in the creation and dissemination of science, in its broader historical context as well as current practice and future potential.”
