Was Einste in’s brain stolen after his death and 'lost' for nearly two decades? Did D escartes build an automaton to replace his deceased daughter? This lecture will explore how both true and apocryphal stories have shaped public perc eptions of science\, scientific discovery\, and its most iconic figures. T hrough this exploration\, the lecture will emphasize the power of anecdote s as literary devices\, revealing how they serve as intersections between philosophical ideas and the narratives through which science is understood .\n DTSTART:20241025T180000Z DTEND:20241025T190000Z LOCATION:Room 613\, Education Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1Y2\, 370 0 rue McTavish SUMMARY:Newton’s Dog and Other Tales: Exploring the Literary and Philosophi cal Construction of Science URL:/langlitcultures/channels/event/newtons-dog-and-ot her-tales-exploring-literary-and-philosophical-construction-science-359783 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
