DESCRIPTION:Trust is a central category in the social history of science a
 nd philosophy of scientific practice. It is far from obvious that trust sh
 ould be placed in the veracity and relevance of scientific claims in polit
 ical decision processes\, especially if one keeps in mind that scepticism 
 and pluralism are sometimes highly valued by scientists themselves. This v
 irtual conversation will question the epistemological\, cultural and polit
 ical settings that generate trust in knowledge claims\, or else lead to it
 s breakdown. Particular attention will be paid to disciplines that rely on
  statistical modelling\, since these can be seen as trading in uncertainty
  and the calculability of trust.\n\nSpeakers: *Stephanie Dick* (University
  of Pennsylvania)\, *Sabina Leonelli* (University of Exeter)\, *Staffan M
 üller-Wille* (University of Cambridge)\, *Ted Porter* (UCLA)\n\nChair: *D
 ániel Margócsy*\n\nIf you would like to take part and you do not already
