Sean Pears is philosopher of biology. His foundations are in philosophy and political science, where his undergraduate research focused on the role of values in science and the place of science in a democratic society. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Philosophy in Biology and Medicine at the University of Bordeaux, with a focus on the philosophy of biology, particularly evolutionary theory and the expanded evolutionary synthesis. As part of his master's studies, Sean gained formal laboratory experience in the lab of Bertrand Daignan-Fornier, using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism to investigate the role of multicellularity in cancer metastasis. Sean's current research delves into the integration of evolutionary theory into conservation biology, emphasizing the value-laden nature of restoration ecology and the use of eco-evo-devo as a conceptual framework to develop ecosystems that are resilient and sustainable in the face of climate change.
