Anatolii

Hi! My name is Anatolii, I'm a tutor at Cambridge Physiology, Development and Neuroscience Department and a philosopher of science at the UCL Science and Technology Studies Department. I hold a PhD in biology from the Université de Genève. Since 2014, I have been teaching and communicating biology-related topics, and since 2022, I have also been teaching, running workshops and reading groups on topics related to philosophy of science.

I have peer-reviewed publications in both subjects.

Tutoring Experience

I have experience teaching biology in a practical lab environment, in a classroom and also through science communication. Since 2022, I have also been teaching topics related to philosophy of science. I have given philosophy workshops for scientists in summer schools in Valencia, Geneva and Paris.

An enthusiast of creative approaches, I devised a unique philosophy course for scientists, which I currently co-run at the Physiology Department in Cambridge.

However, I also make sure to facilitate and stimulate students' exploratory thinking to help them find their unique connection with the subject so that it becomes more relatable and intuitive to them.
