Knowledge of the scientific world

The teaching takes the form of a project based on an essentially bibliographical approach. It is a study of the epistemology and history of science based on the work of a scientist in the fields of Life Sciences or Earth and Universe Sciences. The student must highlight the key points of the scientist's work, placing them in the scientific-historical-political context of his or her time, highlighting the advances and controversies, the contributions to science and the interests in scientific mediation. At the end of his or her work, carried out under the responsibility of a tutor, the student produces a written thesis, a poster and an oral presentation.
