A while ago I participated in a seminar on my book with graduate students of Rogério Passos Severo at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. Their enthusiasm and intellectual engagement was a joy and for me remains a highlight of writing this book. Their review is now out in Theoria.

In Venice today for this workshop on Varieties of Local Knowledges at the Ca’ Foscari organised by Eleonora Montuschi with @katiekendig.bsky.social @sabinaleonelli.bsky.social @charbelelhani.bsky.social and many more colleagues online.

I had the pleasure of joining the supervisory team of Seth Linga (PhD in Geography at Birmingham with DAWN project www.dawnirrigation.com). Seth just published the first article in Water Resources Research on global irrigation modelling and empirical and pragmatic assumptions that enter into it. 👏🥳

A Drive to Survive has now had a few reviews & I'm so grateful that they've been exceptionally generous and incisive. Thread here: 1st: Matteo Colombo in BJPS (particularly nice to read - given how pivotal his papers on the FEP were in helping me understand it) www.thebsps.org/reviewofbook...

@sabinaleonelli.bsky.social gives a fantastic talk on how not to understand the idea of open science qua unlimited use / access to commodified knowledge and data — contrasting the legacy of Popper’s view of open society with Bergson’s ‘humane openness’ at the Bohr’s conference in Copenhagen.

The Bohr Open World conference kicks off with Frank von Hippel remembering the kindness of the Bohr family in hosting his family on the way out of Nazi Germany and on the 1972 US-Soviet Treaty for the control of ballistic missiles and following Gorbachev’s move in nuclear arms control.

Fascinating morning visiting the Niels Bohr Archive - with Bohr’s handwritten diagram of the atom, a model of the box used in the 1930 Solvay debate with Einstein, and even Bohr’s pipe still smelling of tobacco! 🤩

I will be celebrating World Philosophy Day this week by giving a talk in Copenhagen on the profound influence of Kierkegaard’s philosophy on Niels Bohr’s view on the nature of physical reality and the ideal of an open world in his 1950 letter to the UN. Part of this conference openworld.ku.dk/ow25/

This is tomorrow — the first day last week was excellent. Look forward to tomorrow’s programme with thanks to @eenphilsci.bsky.social for the organisation.👇

New paper out in this volume by human rights lawyers www.e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/int... where I discuss what an ‘epistemic jurisdiction’ is, two possible different views on it, and why it matters for international cooperation in the context of implementing the human right to science (Art 27 of UNDHR).

Huge thanks to @eenphilsci.bsky.social and especially @tmarvan.bsky.social and @magdalenamalecka.bsky.social for a terrific program — and what a treat the historical retrospective on the Vienna Circle and the profound legacies of Eastern European philosophy in the plenary panel! 🤩 many thanks all 👏

@apotochnik.bsky.social makes the important point that the Vienna Circle had also a conception of the public role of their philosophy. Some great pictures and quotes on the slides. Is this material published, Angela? I wish I was taking screenshots. Thank you for a fantastic talk!

Listening to the first panel on history of #philsci in CEE. Inspiring that so many colleagues around the world tuned in. A wonderful first talk by Marta Sznajder on Janina Hosiasson (her heartbreaking story below). Now Angela Potochnik on the role of Marie Neurath (Reidemeister) in the Vienna Circle

New paper ‘What role for local knowledge in ocean governance?’ now published in Marine Policy with my excellent co-authors @abbeaberdeen.bsky.social and Marcel Jaspars — preprint available philsci-archive.pitt.edu/26719/
