Debate between Science, Technology and Society

en

Organizers: INECO Foundation, Neuromente, CONICET-VOCAR, INCYT, Faculty of Medical Sciences-Catholic University of Cuyo.

Today more than ever in the history of mankind, science and technology seem to have a profound impact on our society. The explosion of the digital economy, the use of technological devices in daily life, the multitasking of digital natives, knowledge-based innovation and associated cultural change, the development of methods of brain stimulation, or genetic manipulation, are only some examples of this. The vertigo of this progress makes it difficult to understand, direct and control this progress. It is not clear whether the impact of this new revolution represents a qualitative leap in the history of humanity. In San Juan, we will discuss together this issue with scientists, scientific journalists, and innovators. The event will feature brief presentations in the field of neuroscience, genetics, technological-cultural innovation, and scientific journalism to generate a debate between presenters and the public.
