Scientific Openess to earth and water issues under global change
| Description | This Teaching unit is made up of two collages and 5 lectures. The aim of the collage workshops is to raise awareness and train participants to the environmental issues linked to climate changes and digital technology. The workshop also aims to lay down the key solutions to reach more sustainable practices in digital, and encourages discussions between the participants on the topic.
These workshops are real team building tool allowing participants to come and learn together how to reach sustainability in the digital sector and climate changes (references from IPCC reports). The 5 conferences have to be chosen in the list of the Gaia doctoral school which offers every year around 20 educational conferences on earth and water processes. Most of these lectures are available online and via streaming. A report on the two collages workshops and the 5 lectures have to be done at the end. https://digitalcollage.org/#fdc https://climatefresk.org/ |

Defusing quantitative bullshit
| Description
|
The aim of this course is to help students navigate the bullshit-rich modern environment by identifying bullshit, seeing through it, and combating it with effective analysis and argument.
Bullshit involves language, statistical figures, data graphics, and other forms of presentation intended to persuade by impressing and overwhelming a reader or listener, with a blatant disregard for truth and logical coherence. Calling bullshit is a performative utterance in which one publicly repudiates something objectionable. In this course, we will teach students how to

Genome editing : policy, legal and institutional issues.
| Description | Genome editing tools allow direct modification of plant genomes more quickly, cheaply and accurately than ever before. It is a technological revolution with long term implications. The tools are changing the way plant breeding is conducted, including practices of using and exchanging biological material in plant science.
The emergence of such a technology raises a series of social, institutional, legal and policy issues. The objective of this UE is to help students to grasp the various societal dimensions of genome editing:

Innovations in clinical biomarkers, biotechnologies for personalized medicine: current status and future perspectives
| Description
|
The main objective of “Innovations in clinical biomarkers, biotechnologies for personalized medicine: current status and future perspectives” course is to offer our students a multidisciplinary training in innovative biotechnologies in a clinical context, enabling them to fulfill the missions that will be entrusted to them in the field of industrial applications resulting from current biotechnologies. This training is part of this approach and aims to provide students with the knowledge and know-how to innovate and progress in the field of precision medicine, which today offers new perspectives in the treatment and individualized monitoring of patients.
The UE includes fundamental and applied courses on “omics” technologies: genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. The understanding of these state-of-the-art omics technologies, integrated into the field of clinical biomarkers, is essential for the development of tomorrow’s precision medicine. The training involves researchers belonging to laboratories at the forefront of clinical research in the fields of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and biotechnologies, as well as external professionals to interface with the industrial world. |
