Knowledge of the scientific world

The course takes the form of a project based primarily on a bibliographic approach. It involves a study of the epistemology and history of science focusing on the work of a scientist in the fields of Life Sciences or Earth and Space Sciences. Students must highlight the key aspects of the scientist’s work by situating them within the scientific, historical, and political context of their era, emphasizing the advances and controversies, contributions to science, and implications for science communication. Upon completion of this work, carried out under the supervision of an advisor, students will produce a written thesis, a poster, and an oral presentation.
