Data-Centric Biology

Meer over het boek

The book explores the transformative impact of digital data access on scientific research, particularly in biology and biomedicine. It questions whether this shift signifies a new scientific epistemology and examines its implications for studying life and ourselves. Sabina Leonelli, through a philosophical lens, analyzes the dynamics of data-centric biology, addressing what constitutes scientific evidence and how data translates into knowledge. By integrating perspectives from various scientific and humanities disciplines, the work provides a comprehensive understanding of modern scientific practices.
