The program committee welcomes abstracts for contributed talks (20+10 min Q&A) by scientists and/or philosophers, on work which combines biological or medical science with a conceptual, theoretical, and/or philosophical approach.

Each abstract must clearly address these three questions:

•     What is the scientific problem that your talk raises?
•     What kind of philosophical tools does your talk use to address that scientific problem?
•     What proposal does your talk make as a response to that scientific problem?

Scientific relevance will be an essential criterion. Talks that result from collaboration among philosophers and scientists are particularly welcome. We welcome submissions from individuals identifying with historically underrepresented groups within philosophy of science and medicine.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is April, 5th, 2024.

Abstracts should be 500 words max. Authors must remove all identifying information from their title and abstract. Please submit your abstract using the following link: https://forms.gle/pZ4kZyd5gyC1KZ8d7

The program committee aims to inform the authors of the outcome of their submission by mid-May 2024.
