My new article @chemistryworld.com is about how consumer safety can be informed by the analysis of causal relations 👇 www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/the-...

The #MSCA project #CReaCaL is officially over, so here is one final post that I wrote for @jargonium.bsky.social to sum up what I did in the last couple of years. Not many answers; rather more questions came out of this work! www.jargonium.com/post/chemica...

New article @chemistryworld.com on smell and other senses. Check it out #CReaCaL www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/what...

Today Im taking part in a very different event on ‘Women & correspondence’ where I will talk abt Darwin’s correspondence w/ women and discuss it from the perspective of feminist critiques on his work www.historyofideas.gr/2025/06/wome...

Feminist philosophy of science points out the mechanisms by which sexism has systematically affected women's health and helps us appreciate the different factors that influence how knowers produce knowledge claims. www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/how-...

For this instalment of Jargonium Asks, we are delighted to have Kostas Gavroglu Prof. Emeritus @ the Un. of Athens. He is an expert historian of chemistry, among the few who have illuminated the social, historical & philosophical aspects of early quantum chemistry www.jargonium.com/post/jargoni...

🚨 Today @chemistryworld.com launched a new collection on women's health. From menstruation to menopause, the articles reveal the stark gaps in medical research that have left women overlooked for far too long, and the people working to change the narrative: www.chemistryworld.com/collections/... 🔬💊

Im keeping a sort of diary of my research during the #CReaCaL project through a series of short essays in @jargonium.bsky.social. @erc.europa.eu This is part II of my thoughts around chemical reactions as causal relations: www.jargonium.com/post/chemica...

Jargonium is.. *a chemical element that turned out to be a compound * a blog about chemistry * bridging the humanities with chemistry 🧪Check it out! www.jargonium.com

Symbols, pictograms and tables have always been part of chemical practice. Delving into that story is quite exciting! Here are some snippets of it in my new article @chemistryworld.com #CReaCaL @erc.europa.eu www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/symb...

A new print magazine is out called @chalk-magazine.bsky.social & Im honoured to be in the first issue! I talk abt the periodic table & the limits in discovering elements- what does this mean about chemical discovery? 🙏 @willgarbett.bsky.social & Amy Louise!!! www.chalk-magazine.com/articles/the...

My review of Alexander Bird’s book ‘Knowing Science’ just came out @jgps.bsky.social . If you want to get an idea of what’s it about before reading the actual thing, here are my impressions! #msca #creacal link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Very honoured to talk at the "Units, Symbols, and Terminology in the Physical Sciences in and for the Digital Era" conference, held at the wonderful Burlington House, the house of the @rsc.org! Thank you @psdi-uk.bsky.social Jeremy Frey & Victoria Hooper! #CReaCaL www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Amp...

How #AI will change the future of #Chemistry❓ First #speaker of this meeting 🎤 🔸 Dr Vanessa Seifert, @vanessaseifert.bsky.social, Research Associate, Department of #Philosophy, @bristoluni.bsky.social. 🔹 Prediction, explanation, and #chemical progress in the age of AI. 🌐 www.vanessa-seifert.com

I tried to give my take on whether water is wet for the BBC World Service - CrowdScience! The episode hosts chemists and material scientists too so this is a really nice & rounded way to approach the question. Here is the link: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w...

New article @chemistryworld.com #CReaCaL #ERC #MarieCurie #MSCActions 👇 www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/clas...

I don’t know what to say abt this apart from how honoured and thankful I am. This paper really took a life of its own from the very beginning it came out. It’s a genuine product of interdisciplinarity, merging the philosophy of physics with chemistry.

Interested in scales and measurement? 📐 With #AssemblingLife and #CPS we are organising a two days workshop on “ScaM: scales and measurement in the sciences”. We have a great lineup of speakers. Info and registration ➡️ www.hf.uio.no/english/rese...

Here is the talk I gave to undergrad chemists at Andrews University about philosophy of science & chemistry. Presenting philosophical issues to non-philosophers is hard and I wish I could explain some things a bit more carefully but what can you do! www.youtube.com/watch?v=toPY...

Here it is! My article for @aeon.co is now out and it is about what I currently work on in my Marie Curie project #CReaCaL. Hope you like it! aeon.co/essays/the-n...

Im taking advantage of my project's Zenodo platform to publish a paper that's always well-received when I talk abt it but not so much when I write it down (weird!) It's open access & will be regularly reviewed so pls send me your comments! #CReaCaL #MarieCurie #ERC zenodo.org/records/1441...

Our new instalment of #JargoniumAsks hosts Marina P. Banchetti-Robino who answers all our questions abt PhilChem plus gives us some cool book suggestions🙏!!! Check it out here: www.jargonium.com/post/jargoni...

The summits on #climatechange last month were- to put it lighlty- a disappointment... In my new article @chemistryworld.bsky.social Im trying to figure out why that is.. www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/the-...

How do we judge whether a particular experiment is 'pursuitworthy'? What factors need to be considered? @ennofischer.bsky.social & I are receiving submissions exploring these & related questions for a topical collection in EJPS! Please help us spread the word! tu-dresden.de/gsw/phil/iph... #philsci

My first paper in the context of the Marie Curie Project #CReaCaL is out and open access! Why think of laws in chemistry? And which case studies are worth investigating from this perspective? Check it out here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

It’s out & #OpenAccess 🎉🎉 My 1st book ´Chemistry’s Metaphysics’ is one of the most creative projects Ive undertaken. Filled w/ metaphysical questions explored through a chemical lens, hopefully it contributes to the interaction of chemistry & philosophy www.cambridge.org/core/element...
