This looks like an exciting new steering committee - not least because I spot several members with an interesting in the intersection between qualitative empirical methods and #philsci 👀✨

For anyone interested in her early ideas, @loadofbunk.bsky.social just published an exciting chapter on this 🙌 bsky.app/profile/load...

Today, working from Whipple Library in Cambridge to do research on Mary Hesse. Here is her first book (1954) addressing the compatibility of science and religion, with early thoughts on operationalism and models - pushing against established positivist accounts of science. #philsci #hps

Returning to online life to share a photo from my new office - 1st day at @stsucl.bsky.social ❤️‍🔥 Can’t wait to get into teaching and research and wonderful conversations in this place!

International Philosophy of Medicine Online Reading group starts up again this week! This term we are focusing on articles rather than a monograph over several meetings Meetings are Weds at 5pm and Thurs at 9am UK time Join the group here: groups.google.com/g/philmed-rg/ Please share widely!

Had a wonderful afternoon yesterday, borrowing/testing a new format: Walking seminar discussing co-creation and #STS methods (🖇️Mol). My conversation path touched questions of extractivism, the problem of neat ideals of collaboration, and the always central “what for?” in methods.

Excited to see more #PhilSci scholars employing diverse methodologies in their work. To that end, in our paper we used qualitative data analysis to understand the role of surprise in science. #aestheticsofscience #surprise #qualitativemethods link.springer.com/article/10.1...

It’s fascinating to witness what theatre methods in the philosophy of science can do to improve scientists’ lives 🥼👨‍🔬👩‍🔬and work 🧪🧬🔬. These two👇🏼are doing incredible work, and we’ll be having them soon at @ifmcambridge.bsky.social Buns Talk. How lucky are we!

🙌 network for qualitative methods in philosophy! Maybe something for @eraldo.bsky.social @karllandstrom.bsky.social @drjastockdale.bsky.social - and probably several others ✨

I’m still struggling to get my arms down from these news! I can’t imagine a better place for the research and the teaching I love to do - surrounded by inspiring and kind colleagues 🙌🥳 If you need me, I’ll be in the clouds somewhere for the next little while ⛅️

Went north to discuss *qualitative methods* in philosophy with @sarahwieten.bsky.social , @borka86.bsky.social and a handful of other exciting speakers and participants. The light here is amazing ✨ #philsci #hps #philsky www.durham.ac.uk/research/ins...

Prepped and ready to go, armed with overhead projectors and courageous scientists 🧡😎 #philsci #sts @cambridgefestival.bsky.social @pdncambridge.bsky.social @anatoliikozlov.bsky.social

Last two Saturdays @hscottfordsmand.bsky.social and I worked with a group of creative postdocs from the PDN Dpt to devise an outreach performance for the @cambridgefestival.bsky.social. This Sat (22d), we will share our work with you! Come to PDN Dpt at 1 pm. CU there! (registration link below)

A group of scientists put their faith in two philosophers of science and ventured to reflect on *time* and *trust*, and science as a practice done by living people. Come experience what we found together - this Saturday 1pm at Downing Site, Cambridge. #philsci #hps

I can highly recommend submitting with @edouardmachery.bsky.social as an editor - exceptionally attentive and thorough reading, which made the piece a lot better. Thank you for takning it on! 🙏

I was contemplating how to share this but the internet moves fast (and nothing slips past @miikeessttuuart.bsky.social 🙏) This builds on so many conversations with wonderfully open-minded and curious people on our discipline and I hope it will initiate many more🧡 #philsky #philsci

It’s Monday and the clouds are back, but I’m still floating from this weekend!☀️ Friday @milenaivanova.bsky.social took me to @newnhamcollege.bsky.social international Women’s day celebration 💪 with three wise women speaking on forms of resistance and the importance of equality and mutual respect.

Went to Göteborg to ask Margareta Hallberg about Hesse. Over a period of 10+ years (2000-) she interviewed Hesse about her life. Our conversation inevitably fell, with gloom, on the personal and academic freedom Hesse associated with her visits to US🥺 #philsci #hps link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Student: are you Danish? Me: yes? Student: ah! I have a Danish friend, and she dresses just like you. 😂 can’t run away from my cultural heritage.

Call for Applications: Editor-in-Chief, European Journal for Philosophy of Science. Editorship begins 1 September 2025 (negotiable) & renewable term of 4 years. Submit applications to the secretary of @epsaphilsci.bsky.social M. Amine Mansour at [email protected]. Deadline is 15 May 2025. #philsci

Not satisfied with ‘virtually controlling’ the Cambridge Review, Hesse went on to reign supreme as Chief Editor of the BJPS

Going through the @whipplemuseum.bsky.social collection of Mary Hesse papers, I found this small clip out with an update from 1962. The ambiguous tone of it has me wondering whether it was written in contempt or celebration, by whom and for what. #hps

Some pragmatism and scientific inquiry coming up, St. Louis in late April #philsci #philsky

Monday = pragmatism day ☀️(even when it rains). This term, we’ve been reading about fruitfulness and heuristic appraisal. Today we tried to sort out the tangle of terms we’ve encountered so far… Brought to us by Damon Kuzin and @niallroe.bsky.social #philsci #pragmatismmondays

A student sent an essay plan for tomorrow’s supervision, warning me that it was still very provisional… They probably attached the wrong file but I love the version where this is the real document. Something serene about the honesty of the - indeed very provisional - attempt at an essay plan.

“You are who you cite” - Today at #CultureLab we explored citation and reference through collage; leading to conversations on the commodification of science, on how references frame or direct interpretations, on cultural symbols, and on the many uncitable influences✨ @anatoliikozlov.bsky.social

15 EPSA Fellowships for junior philosophers working in Central & Eastern Europe to visit a leading research institution in Western Europe. In addition, Senior & Mid-Career scholars adversely affected by War in Ukraine are welcome to apply Deadline: 31 March 2025 #philsci philsci.eu/fellowships/...

Another one found in the department library. The anonymous donor has since retrieved their books, I suppose adding an extra layer of tragedy...

Hey #philsky a question: What’s the custom if someone took a line from your peer review report and put it in the article without acknowledging anything. Technically they’ve taken the review very much to heart, I suppose, but it feels a little odd. It’s blind review so no one knows who’s who.

Yogi tea making an effort to get in on the market of tea-drinking philosophers…

I’m teaching a course on making medical knowledge. Today we discussed coordination and social epistemology - Longino, Solomon and Keuck✨ The students did a series of consensus group discussions to ‘settle’ whether and when disagreement is good in medicine, tracing the process on postits. #philsci

Philosophers of science anytime someone mentions how hot or cold it's been lately: "Interesting that you brought up the temperature. Did you know that it is actually really complicated? I don't know if you've heard of this book; it's by Hasok Chang...."

Happening in Helsinki in March: a workshop on health and the humanities

Today at CultureLab we discussed writing formats and wrote #sciku (pamphlet to come 👀) @anatoliikozlov.bsky.social I’m not a scientist, but I work with #philosophy of language and #STS. Here is a Haiku-burn for a very select audience: You are empty words No verification test No logic of care

Everyone: meet Valeria, one of the organisers of the Cambridge STS network - and a kind and brilliant scholar working on research and impact metrics🔎 📊

What a great start with Bsky, finding lovely people and discovering new artistic perspectives on our SCaN tour 💙

The first "TheCultureLab" of Lent! We tapped into science's multilingualism with a panel of exercises inspired by Peter Brook's work. How incredible it was to see the practical facets of communication crystallise right in front of us through the performative work of our great PDN postdocs.

Helene Scott-Fordsmand (Cambridge University) edited a great reading list on ethnographic sensibility, in which you can find my piece for American Ethnologist: philpapers.org/browse/ethno...
