Meetings

The 2016 Digital HPS Consortium meeting was held from the morning of Friday, August 26 through Sunday, August 28 in Norman, Oklahoma. All sessions took place in the Bizzell Memorial Library on the campus of the University of Oklahoma--the host of the 2016 meeting.

Please go to the Norman 2016 dHPS meeting information page, available here (https://ou-lib-hos.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DHPS/Digital+HPS+annual+wo...) for more information on the conference venue.

Meeting postponed until Spring 2016. Updates will be made available to this website as they emerge.
"Dear Digital HPS participants,

After consultation with the chairs and founders of the Digital HPS consortium, we have decided to postpone the Norman workshop until next spring. Due to a variety of reasons, including competing schedules and overall strategic planning, we think that a meeting next spring will be more productive.

A provisional date will be announced on the website in a few weeks.

The Digital HPS Consortium held its annual workshop and meeting September 6 and 7, 2013, at Indiana University Bloomington. Bill Newman and Wally Hooper hosted the event, and can be contacted with further questions regarding the program. The program itinerary is posted below, as well as the minutes and the new consortium appointment that arose from that meeting.

We hope to develop and refine some bioinformatics tools to inform key debates about the choice of model organisms in developmental biology and neuroscience. Several distinct literatures have arisen in regard to the use and justification of model organisms in biology. These literatures are mainly conceptual in content, reflecting the experiences and perspectives of biologists, historians, and philosophers; a few contributions have an empirical basis, as well.
