I wrote about my first ever package holiday and the beauty of experiencing weirdness with a dear friend app.thenewworld.co.uk/story/141629...

Two of the novels I read this summer, Süskind’s 'Perfume' and Yuzuki’s 'Butter' both tell stories of murder and revolve around intense sensory experiences. That got me thinking about how little philosophy seems to care about smell and taste app.thenewworld.co.uk/story/140442...

We have *three* new lecturers joining the castle -- ehm, the department @standrewsphil.bsky.social : Alice Murphy @alicemurphs.bsky.social, Matthew Vermaire, Nick Wiltsher @nickwiltsher.bsky.social. Welcome folks! www.st-andrews.ac.uk/philosophy/n...

I have an article out :) It's a deep dive into a series of snowflake images made by James and Cecilia Glaisher in 1855. I talk about this couple's work in my dissertation, but their stunning drawings deserved separate treatment. Open Access link (with more pictures) 👉 doi.org/10.1017/S000...

Trumpet blast: my paper ‘Does the Claim that There Are No Theories Imply that there is no History of Theories to be Written?(!)’ is out in the latest issue of The Journal for General Philosophy of Science (on open access): link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I recently took on the role of editor for the Aesthetics section of the Diversity Reading List. The site's aim is to make it easier for people to write more diverse philosophy syllabi by creating a useful database of work. #philsky 1/4

Now would be an excellent moment for the American Philosophical Association to release a statement in support of their students that have been beaten by police for opposing genocide, just as it was a lost moment for the APA to stand in support of their academic colleagues murdered in Gaza

Super duper happy to be granted DFG (German Research Council) funding to be a Principal Investigator on my project "Aesthetic Values and the Social Dimensions of Science" 🥳

Breaking news: The International Court of Justice on Friday ordered Israel to do more to prevent the killing and harm of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, a landmark decision that will add to calls for a change of course in its campaign against Hamas.

Wahoooo go John Dougherty!! The most 'exceptionally thorough, generous, and constructive' colleague too 🥳

First read of 2024 is the excellent Bad Taste: Or the Politics of Ugliness by Nathalie Olah. Great exploration of aesthetics as a class signifier and the power and wealth of tastemakers whose style we all try to emulate. Forcing me to think hard about what I value and how I spend my time 😬

My article "When remediating one artifact results in another: control, confounders, and correction" is now published (open access) in History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

If "there are no such things as theories," as Steven French (@srdfrench.bsky.social) has contended, how should philosophers of science understand #histsci & their own #philsci practices?
