How Political Science Can Contribute to Public Health: A Response to Gagnon and Colleagues

Nanotechnology to Nanomedicine: Reconciling Ethical Implications and Public Health

“Nano” in science means one billionth, therefore one nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter. Nanotechnology is the study and application of nanostructures or nanosystems, and it involves the design, characterization, synthesis and application of materials by controlling the shapes and sizes at the nanoscale level. The nanomaterials are engineered at the molecular level to accomplish improve...

Why and How Political Science Can Contribute to Public Health? Proposals for Collaborative Research Avenues

Written by a group of political science researchers, this commentary focuses on the contributions of political science to public health and proposes research avenues to increase those contributions. Despite progress, the links between researchers from these two fields develop only slowly. Divergences between the approach of political science to public policy and the expectations that public hea...

Reconciling current approaches to blindsight.

After decades of research, blindsight is still a mysterious and controversial topic in consciousness research. Currently, many researchers tend to think of it as an ideal phenomenon to investigate neural correlates of consciousness, whereas others believe that blindsight is in fact a kind of degraded vision rather than "truly blind". This article considers both perspectives and finds that both ...
