I had a rich and wide-ranging conversation w/ Professor Philip Kitcher for the podcast this week. We discuss his intellectual journey, interventions in creationism, sociobiology & the genome project, his philosophical evolution, and vision for philosophy serving the common good. A real privilege.

@henryweith.bsky.social and I are organizing a symposium featuring evo-devo research, taking place at the AMNH on September 25th! If you're in the NYC area, please consider attending! (RSVP: forms.gle/bA2UeAaimrh6...)

We are gearing up for our interdisciplinary workshop next week! Bringing together both established & early-career researchers, the event will explore the theoretical & methodological challenges of studying behavior across the tree of life! 👇 hiw.kuleuven.be/clps/events/... #philsci #HPbio #evosky

Our lab at Yale literally studies government suppression of outbreak reporting. Please: don't promote unverifiable reports from anonymous accounts. They're very likely to be false, and it boosts unreliable actors. (If this is happening, I suspect CDC sources know how to text a journalist just fine.)

@adamgordonbell.bsky.social's Corecursive: Coding Stories is one of my favorite podcasts. He's a great storyteller--really amazing sometimes--and I find it delightful when the story ends up turning on detailed technical facts or practices. corecursive.com

Hi, #evosky #EvoDevo #paleosky hivemind! I have a Q: Have there been any studies that build theoretical or empirical morphospaces that include and/or compare organisms from different kingdoms? I am looking for instances of research that meet that condition (regardless of their focus). Thanks a lot!

My lab cannot afford donating at the moment, so I donated privately. Even if you don’t work on flies we all owe so much to FlyBase. Consider donating, and importantly, let’s strive to make the more official funding bodies aware of how much is at stake.

Not sure how many scientists here have tried Claude Code or similar command line coding assistants. I had a complicated family property tax problem that was best solved by a brute force Monte Carlo simulation approach, so I spent a few days coding up and analyzing a model with Claude Code.
