On Validators for Psychiatric Categories

The concept of a validator for a psychiatric category developed in the second 
half of the twentieth century and is still in use. Surprisingly, the term 
“validator” has never been explicitly defined in the psychiatric literature. 
Moreover, although lists of different kinds of validators have often been 
stated, there has been no explicit discussion in the literature about how 
different kinds of validator evidence should be aggregated in a decision about 
how to create, revise, or remove a psychiatric category. The goal of this paper 
is to trace the development of the concept of a psychiatric validator, showing 
how our understanding has changed over time. With this in mind, I evaluate 
possible recommendations for aggregating validator evidence.For more

"Actionable Data for Precision Oncology: Building Trustworthy Evidence for 
Exploratory Research and Clinical Diagnostics"

A PhilInBioMed seminar

Open to all
 
Actionable Data for Precision Oncology: Building Trustworth Evidence for 
Exploratory Research and Clinical Diagnostics


Difficulties in managing the enormous amount of relevant data being produced by 
researchers around the world continue to undermine data-centred discovery and 
therapeutic development. This is particularly evident when looking for evidence 
to identify which entities should be targeted, and how – an issue typically 
referred to as 'actionability' of data by practitioners (Nelson et al., 2013). 
This paper, co-authored with Niccoló Tempini from the University of Exeter, 
considers how researchers make decisions about the actionability of specific 
datasets and the extent to which such data can be considered to be trustworthy. 
To this aim, we discuss the case of COSMIC, a leading data infrastructure in 
cancer genomics which aggregates a large amount of data sources, ranging from 
literature to screen repositories and functional information about cancer at 
various levels of description (including gene, individual mutation, methylation 
and drug resistance). COSMIC occupies a central 
 position in the path towards precision oncology. It is used by many research 
groups both for exploratory analyses and in drug or diagnostic development 
pipelines, and it has a strong reputation as a reliable source of genomic 
evidence for clinical use. On the basis of qualitative research on COSMIC data 
curation and use practices carried out between 2015 and 2017, we identify 
significant differences in the understanding of data actionability underpinning 
exploratory research on biological mechanisms as opposed to research aiming to 
develop diagnostic knowledge and related instruments/markers. Though sometimes 
inhabited by the same individuals, the exploratory and the diagnostic research 
spaces pose different requirements and constraints upon data use, which in turn 
shape different imaginaries of actionability and perceptions of what makes a 
data source trustworthy.  We show how different ways to construe data use in 
medical research are integral to considerations of evident
 ial reliability, and offer a definition of actionability and trust in data 
that is dependent on the medical goals at hand in any one situation of inquiry.

[Educasup] Sciences participatives : nouveaux enjeux épistémologiques, éthiques et politiques. Lyon, 6 et 7 juin 2019

[Stéphanie Ruphy]

Chères et chers collègues,

vous trouverez ci-dessous le programme d'un colloque qui se tiendra à Lyon du 6 
au 7 juin  prochain  dans le cadre du projet PartiSCiP (IDEX Lyon)  « Sciences 
participatives : nouvelles perspectives épistémologiques sur l’objectivité 
scientifique » www.partiscip.com 

Bien cordialement à tous
Stéphanie Ruphy

Sciences participatives : nouveaux défis épistémologiques, éthiques et 
politiques
6 et 7 juin 
Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3

L'ouverture du processus de production des connaissances scientifiques et 
d'expertise à des citoyens qui ne sont pas des chercheurs professionnels 
bénéficie d'un soutien institutionnel et politique de plus en plus fort. Le 
développement de ces « sciences citoyennes » ou  « sciences participatives » 
soulève  de nouveaux défis épistémologiques, éthiques et politiques. Par 
exemple, une telle ouverture est-elle susceptible, dans certains domaines et 
sous certaines conditions, d’améliorer l’objectivité de la recherche 
scientifique ? Quelles formes concrètes l’implication des citoyens  doit-elle  
alors prendre pour optimiser les conditions épistémologiques garantes de 
l’objectivité scientifique ? Comment assurer une bonne représentativité 
politique et épistémique des intérêts et valeurs parfois divergentes qui 
peuvent se manifester au sein d’un projet participatif ? Le colloque 
rassemblera des contributions de philosophes et de sociologues ainsi q
 ue des retours d’expérience d’acteurs engagés dans des projets de recherche 
participatifs.

Conférenciers invités :
- Justin Biddle (Georgia Institute of Technology)
- Florian Charvolin (CNRS, Centre Max Weber)
- Denis Couvet (Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, Paris)
- Romain Julliard (Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, Paris)

[Educasup] secrétariat ED 540

[Sophie Roux]

Bonjour,

L’ED 540 recrute sur un CDD de 4 mois (1er septembre-31 décembre 2019) un.e 
secrétaire, qui travaillera en binôme avec l’actuelle secrétaire. La fiche de 
poste est jointe.

Naturellement, ce n’est pas un pré-requis, mais je signale qu’il y a eu les 
années précédentes deux recrutements de jeunes docteurs sur des postes 
similaires et que, sans être satisfaisant dans l’absolu, cela a pu les dépanner.
Pour toute information, contacter : annabelle.millevi...@ens.fr 

Pour candidater, envoyer au plus tard le 1er juin 2019 un CV + une lettre de 
motivation à annabelle.millevi...@ens.fr  
et sophie.r...@ens.fr 
Bien cordialement

Sophie Roux
