The presentation is devoted to changing styles of thinking in science. It focuses on the process of transformation of information interactions as one of the possible focal points of change.
The contemporary philosophy of science (epistemology) featuring K.Popper, T.Kuhn, I.Lakatos, P.Feyerabend, Hanson among others, has exercised a decisive critique to the dominant views of the positivist and neo-positivist model of knowledge and has in fact undermined its credibility.

What is science? Science, pseudoscience, non-scienceDennis Miller
Science plays a fundamental role in modern society. But what exactly is science? In philosophy this question is known as the demarcation problem (Popper, Kuhn, Laudan and others).

Science is a sphere of human activity in which objective knowledge about reality is developed and systematized theoretically. The main functions of science are explanatory and predictive functions. Science is a complex multifaceted integral phenomenon, and the process of development of scientific knowledge is not a unidirectional process, but a nonlinear one, characterized by multidirection. This is a process in which new growth points, diverse opportunities and situations of choice arise.
Science studies not only the surrounding reality, but also itself as a part of this reality. There is a whole complex of disciplines studying science, which includes the history and logic of science, psychology of scientific creativity, sociology of knowledge, etc. However, it is the philosophy of science that studies science as an integral phenomenon, exploring the general laws of scientific and cognitive activity, the structure and dynamics of scientific knowledge, its levels and forms, its socio-cultural determination, means and methods of scientific cognition, ways of its justification and mechanisms of knowledge development.
The philosophy of science began to take shape in the middle of the twentieth century. As a scientific discipline, the philosophy of science differs from the direction in Western and domestic philosophy, which bears the same name and originated a century earlier.
Science v Pseudoscience: What’s the Difference? - Kevin KorbAdam Ford
Science has a certain common core, especially a reliance on empirical methods of assessing hypotheses. Pseudosciences have little in common but their negation: they are not science.
They reject meaningful empirical assessment in some way or another. Popper proposed a clear demarcation criterion for Science v Rubbish: Falsifiability. However, his criterion has not stood the test of time. There are no definitive arguments against any pseudoscience, any more than against extreme skepticism in general, but there are clear indicators of phoniness.

Knowledge vs Belief, Justification and Truth―What Scientific Knowledge Is a...William Hall
For better or worse, science works. It has given humans dominion over the earth
It is now within humanity’s capacity to either destroy the ecosystems we depend on for our survival or make the world a better place to live.
What is it about the epistemological foundations of science that makes it so much more effective helping us to understand the world than are philosophical systems based on faith and belief?
This talk introduces the epistemological work of Sir Karl Popper, focused on his later work on evolutionary epistemology. I argue that Popper's evolutionary approach to epistemology explains how science works, and why this is a better system for building reliable knowledge about the world than are systems ultimately based in justification and belief as guides to "truth".
Caveats: I am not a student of philosophy and am not familiar with much of its literature. From my background as an evolutionary biologist, I have extended Popper’s ideas in a number of areas as I have explored the biological roles and nature of knowledge in living systems.

Epistemology, technology and knowledge growth - Meetup session 4William Hall
This is the 4th of 23 presentations in a series introducing and outlining my hypertext book project, "Application Holy Wars or a New Reformation - A Fugue on the Theory of Knowledge. The project explores the interactions of technology and cognition in the extraordinary evolutionary history of the human species. Here I get into the Subject or meat of the book, building on Karl Popper's evolutionary epistemology and Thomas Kuhn's scientific revolutions.

The Principle of Non-Discrimination in the Infosphere: A New EthicsMichal Černý
Almost everything in EC frame is based on the idea of openness of information interactions for all inforgs.
Openness is not just a human value – openness is affects compatibility, imperoperability, open development, open coding, open formats, data transfer, ... but also machine learning (AI) over open knowledge bases!
Thus, pragmatic ethics extended to information interactions between inforgs can be the starting point for forming a non-anthropocentric framework. The key value of this new ethics is open information interaction that do not discriminate against anyone.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

2. Theconceptof
theparadigmof
ThomasKuhn
A paradigm is a mind-set suitable for the practice of a
specific scientific discipline.
Every science has its paradigm that allows questions,
organizational information, experiments design,
language, education of scientists, etc.
A paradigm is always one science discipline. Or just
waiting for a paradigm shift.
3. Assumptions
There are clearly defined and stable scientific
disciplines. Every discipline has own paradigm.
The individual paradigms do not interact too much.
Paradigms always have a competitive character within
one discipline.
A paradigm within a discipline is always what
determines it.
4. But…
Foucault produced a discourse going across the
sciences.
Sciences arise dynamically (cognitive sciences,
informatics, non-Euclidean geometry, set theory, etc.).
Sciences do not have anchoring in one paradigm
because they are:
Often anti - Popperian focused on a very general
(complex) problem.
They are often interdisciplinary
They are often transdisciplinary
5. But…
Martin Heidegger: The exciting thing in science is on
the seam of disciplines:
Social informatics
Philosophy of information
History of natural sciences
Biophysics
Quantum chemistry
…
6. Problems
The absence of stable education in the new sciences
(before the established first generation of professors
will pass a lot of time).
The paradigm (in context complex problem) cannot
exist because it is not defined for more sciences
(combinations of distant disciplines are also common).
The sciences further specialise and split.
7. Problems
World War II shakes confidence in science (eugenics,
human experiments, atomic weapons) as a social good.
Feierabend criticizes the myth of science as a
privileged account of the world.
Traditional methodologies are uninteresting.
Experimental methods (not only for grants) are
attractive.
AI has replaced much of human activity in science.
8. Identitycrisis
Identity is sociological strongly associated with the
profession.
But what about a situation where:
Much of the activity is replaced by machines (AI).
The scientist will replace several completely different
departments.
The scientist will replace completely different
methodological procedures.
Scientist are more like the worker in a factory than
scholars (Heidegger).
The scientist has too narrowed a profile (in traditional
European continental education) to be transdisciplinary.
The development of science is unpredictable.
10. Earlymodern
styleofthinking
A scientist is a scientist in one of his fields of study.
Studying one discipline, doing it and dying in it is a
virtue.
There are scientific journals that set the preferred
direction of research.
BDW: there are still built libraries (all over the world -
Universal Decimal Classification) and do habilitation
and professorship procedure (in the Czech).
11. Latemodern
styleofthinking
Valuable is a new perspective on the problem, new
methods, often transferred from a completely different
environment.
There are no boundaries between disciplines; this is
important at the boundaries between them.
The environment, not the entity, has primacy in
cognition.
Journals are focused on a topic, not on one discipline.
Science is often associated with the ability to use the
mental model from one discipline in another and to
adequately interpret it.
12. Latemodern
styleofthinking
The paradigm is an increasingly short description.
But this does not mean the destruction of the "classical
sciences", just an extension of the repertoire.
Modernity is a threat to scientific identity… if I'm a
bad scientist.
The future is in increasingly close cooperation between
scientific disciplines, which means narrowing the
barriers between them.
Science will have to find new methods for rapid and
accurate exchange of information (but for example:
"information" in biology, philosophy, information
science or information means something completely
different!).
13. Nearfuture
(newstyleof
thinking)
Science is not done by one person, not by a team of
people, but by hybrid systems: a group of people and an
AI team.
It is necessary to move to the concept of the extended
mind as the basic concept in education and science.
We must accept that the history of science will not be
able to treat isolated genius personalities (Copernicus,
Newton, Einstein,…).
We must take that part of the scientific work will be
'inhuman', linked to AI.
It is necessary to abandon the definition of science by
"subject and methods of inquiry", but to start thinking
about science more dynamically (neither subject nor
methods are given in advance).
15. Conclusion
We are in the environment and process of creating a "new
style of thinking".
Changing the definition of knowledge and thinking (with
the extended mind, inforgs, information interactions
models,…) will have major implications for science and
education.
Floridi: society is hyper-connectivist.
Information: data with meaning.
Knowledge: information linked to a structure (network) that
is dynamically built but not trapped in one head. The
knowledge network is something that connects us with other
people and technology (AI).
We must redefine the identity of a scientist as a man who
carries out a socially respected … but dynamically
changing profession. maybe ... is the Nobel Prize a good
award for 21st century work in science?
