Abstract

AI

The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the evolution of scientific research, reflecting a shift in understanding knowledge related to biology, information, and society. Postdigital theory provides a framework to explore these interconnections, suggesting that truly useful knowledge extends beyond the pandemic to encompass deeper socio-political implications and technological influences. The call for 'really useful knowledge' aligns with the emergent research interests examining the complexity of the biodigital sphere as it interfaces with education and societal transformations.
