‘Science Without Scientists’: DIY Biology and the Renegotiation of the Life Sciences KU Leuven
This chapter discusses the Do-It-Yourself biology movement, also known as biohacking. DIY biology engages in biological research outside scientific institutions, even though many of those concerned have academic credentials. It is not at all ‘against’ science, but dislikes the ways in which scientific institutions straightjacket science. The chapter maps how DIY biology is informed by the anti-institutional ethos of the countercultural computer ...
A core curriculum in the biological and biomedical sciences for dentistry KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: The biomedical sciences (BMS) are a central part of the dental curriculum that underpins teaching and clinical practice in all areas of dentistry. Although some specialist groups have proposed curricula in their particular topic areas, there is currently no overarching view of what should be included in a BMS curriculum for undergraduate dental programmes. To address this, the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE) ...
evoText: A new tool for analyzing the biological sciences KU Leuven
We introduce here evoText, a new tool for automated analysis of the literature in the biological sciences. evoText contains a database of hundreds of thousands of journal articles and an array of analysis tools for generating quantitative data on the nature and history of life science, especially ecology and evolutionary biology. This article describes the features of evoText, presents a variety of examples of the kinds of analyses that evoText ...
Levels of Organization in the Biological Sciences KU Leuven
The subject of this edited volume is the idea of levels of organization: roughly, the idea that the natural world is segregated into part-whole relationships of increasing spatiotemporal scale and complexity. The book comprises a collection of essays that raise the idea of levels into its own topic of analysis. Owing to the wide prominence of the idea of levels, the scope of the volume is aimed at theoreticians, philosophers, and practicing ...
Photography-based taxonomy is inadequate, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for biological sciences KU Leuven
The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; Nemésio 2009a-b; Dubois 2009; Gentile & Snell 2009; Minelli 2009; Cianferoni & Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016). This question was again raised in a ...

Scar formation from the perspective of complexity science: a new look at the biological system as a whole Universiteit Hasselt
A burn wound is a complex systemic disease at multiple levels. Current knowledge of scar formation after burn injury has come from traditional biological and clinical studies. These are normally focused on just a small part of the entire process, which has limited our ability to sufficiently understand the underlying mechanisms and to predict systems behaviour. Scar formation after burn injury is a result of a complex biological system-wound ...
