Subject: IAP Biology Offerings -- Wednesday, February 1, 2023

Science and Society Seminar Series
2nd talk in the Series
Biology v 2.0: Rebuilding a science that is bigger, bolder, smarter, and more inclusive


Dr. Brandon Ogbunu
MIT MLK Visiting Professor in Chemistry, Assistant Professor, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University
In this seminar, I propose that the state of modern biology requires a set of major and minor changes to keep pace with a changing world. Challenges include the rise of misinformation and anti-science sentiment, a replicability crisis, and widespread disillusionment from junior scientists—all forces that undermine the institution of merit and feed public mistrust in science. I highlight several specific areas in the science enterprise where reimagination and practical intervention could yield widespread, long-term benefits.
