This week our team was visited by Luca Chiapperino, a postdoc researcher from the University of Lausanne. Luca is a moral philosopher working in the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Most of his work focuses on epigenetics, which made him a great guest for our project.

A Meeting of Entanglements
On the 12th and 13th September, the NeuroEpigenEthics team came together in Antwerp. It was a truly unique experience of interdisciplinarity. Analytic philosophy met with Deleuze. Qualitative research met with experimental philosophy. Scientific research met with clinical practice. All this was made possible by team members along with invited scholars sharing a spirit of openness and a dedication to create insights with practical relevance in autism, ADHD and Tourette Syndrome. Below we give an overview of the entanglements our team will follow up on in the next years.
