Relationship Formation

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

In-situ Hybridization

In-situ Hybridization

In situ hybridization (ISH) is a technique used to detect and localize specific DNA or RNA molecules in cells, tissue, or tissue sections using a labeled probe. The technique was first used in 1969 for the investigation of nucleic acids. It is currently an essential tool in scientific research and clinical settings, especially for diagnostic purposes.
Types of probes and labels
A probe is a complementary strand of DNA or RNA that binds to corresponding nucleotide sequences in a cell. Many...

Biofilms

Biofilms

Biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms encased in a self-produced extracellular polysaccharide matrix attached to surfaces. These microbial consortia can include single or multiple species, providing enhanced survival benefits by forming organized, multilayered structures.The formation of biofilms occurs through four key stages: attachment, colonization, development, and dispersal.During attachment, free-swimming planktonic cells adhere to a surface, often facilitated by...

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms

Genetic transfer occurs when genetic information is passed from one organism to another. It occurs via two mechanisms: vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. Vertical gene transfer occurs when genetic information is transferred from one generation to the next, which happens much more frequently than horizontal gene transfer. Both sexual and asexual reproduction are forms of vertical gene transfer, where one or more organisms pass some or all of their genome onto their progeny.

Archival Research

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Social Exchange Theory

Social Exchange Theory

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Area of Science:

Bioart
Biotechnology
Art Theory
Science and Technology Studies (STS)

Background:

Bioart merges biotechnology and art, fields with distinct academic hierarchies and knowledge production methods.
Traditional academic structures often prioritize specialized disciplinary rigor over interdisciplinary connections.
Existing hierarchies may limit collaborative approaches to understanding complex issues like bioethics.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore how bioart can deconstruct existing academic hierarchies.
To investigate the potential of bioart for fostering horizontal collaboration in bioethics.
To examine ruptures and resistances in interdisciplinary, vertically-structured institutions.

Main Methods:

Theoretical analysis of horizontal collaboration (Couture et al., 2017).
Practice-based case studies of bio-artistic inquiry across various spaces (labs, studios, kitchens, galleries).
Deconstruction of institutional barriers in interdisciplinary research.

Main Results:

Bioart initiatives can challenge traditional academic stratification.
Transversal work within vertical institutions reveals ruptures and resistances.
Case studies demonstrate the practical application of horizontal collaboration in bioart.

Conclusions:

Bioart offers a unique platform for flattening hierarchies between science and art.
Fostering horizontal collaboration through bioart can lead to a more integrated understanding of bioethics.
Building 'good' relations across disciplines enhances collective understanding and power.
