Dracopoulos-Bloomberg iDeas Lab Fellowship Program Description:
The iDeas Lab, set up in 2022 is the first Creative Studio and Incubator for world class stories at the intersection of science, ethics, medicine and public health based at the Berman Institute of Bioethics. It is ground-breaking in its approach of engaging scholarship in publicly available compelling projects. The inaugural iDeas Lab Fellowship is a two-year program of study and experiential learning in storytelling in bioethics administered by the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics through the iDeas Lab. We invite qualified applicants to propose their own research projects in the field of public bioethics.
