BioSocieties

This is really a follow-up from a July posting on BioSocieties. I've now had a bit more of a chance to read the work it's publishing. This new journal from Cambridge looks fantastic. Over the last four years, I developed a syllabus at Glasgow University on ethics in the biosciences and this journal, along with the Programme developed by Julian Savulescu at Oxford is really making an important contribution to this kind of work. Nikolas Rose at the LSE is Editor for this journal, along with Ilina Singh and Anne Harrington. The BIOS project at the LSE is doing some really crucial work bringing philosophical and social studies of emerging technologies together. BioSocieties first appeared in March 2006 and is surely destined to become a crucial publishing space for inter-disciplinary work.
