GUM Tour - IMPACT
Science and society
We examine how science is connected with society, from medicine to Olympic sports and from crime to advertising. Are scientists in a better position to know what is good for society? Are they responsible for their discoveries or inventions? The students will discover that science is not a remote concept at all.
Duration: 90 minutes
Participants: 15
Price: €85,-
GUM TOUR - LIMITS
Science and ethics
How far can and should we go? This tour investigates the limits of science. The students will explore the world of laboratory animals and relate objects to themes such as decolonisation. We also consider the ethical issues surrounding displays of human remains.
Duration: 90 minutes
Participants: 15
Price: €85,-
GUM Tour - DOUBT
Philosophy of science
Which questions do scientists get asked? How do they deal critically with knowledge? The students will discover the value of doubt and dive deeper into the answers that science can (or cannot) offer. During this tour, the students will approach matters based on the philosophy of science and get to know the person behind the scientist.
