[spsp-members] Symbiosis: Emerging Reconceptualizations and Theories (Conference in Bordeaux, France)

[Thomas Pradeu]

(Please feel free to circulate this announcement)

On Monday, October 14th, we organize in Bordeaux, France (*UTC+2*), an
exceptional international conference with outstanding speakers on the
concept of symbiosis and the many emerging conceptual and theoretical
approaches to symbiosis and host-microbiome interactions in today's biology
and philosophy of biology.

*Program:*

   - Charlotte Brives
   <https://www.centreemiledurkheim.fr/notre-equipe/charlotte-brives/> (Centre
   Emile Durkheim, CNRS Bordeaux, France), “Thinking through pluribiosis: the
   case of phage/bacteria relationships”
   - Gérard Eberl

   Pasteur, Paris, France), “How the immune system makes the difference
   between pathogens and mutualists… or not”
   - Hannah Kaminski <https://immunoconcept.cnrs.fr/people/hannah-kaminski/>
    (ImmunoConcept, University of Bordeaux, France), “Are damage and repair
   the features that microbiota and host develop to promote a stable
   association leading to symbiosis?”
   - Sarkis Mazmanian <https://sarkis.caltech.edu/> (Caltech, USA), “The
   Gut Microbiome Modulates Brain Pathologies in Parkinson’s Disease”
   - Margaret McFall-Ngai
