I attended a retirement conference for the Gary Hatfield and came back with so much love and admiration for him and the wonderful scholars who gave tributes to him! A pioneering figure in the history/philosophy of psychology! And an amazing mentor, teacher, and friend to many #HPS #HOPOS

Great to see that people are reading Danziger! I increasingly started to get interested in questions about cultural specificty of psychological kinds toward the end of my book as well. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

Great piece. I am uncertain about the last paragraph, though ("The German public were not aware that the assassination ... would lead them down the road to terror and atrocity"). I suspect that many Germans were well aware of what was going on, just like many Americans are now.

I will never celebrate a murder, least of all of a young father. But I do not consent to deify a moderately popular podcaster who said Black women "do not have the brain processing power" of white men, who said "Jewish dollars" fund "cultural Marxism," into a great man of history. I dissent.

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.

In the midst of all the erosion of respect for nuance and civility, I found it soothing to listen to this wonderful interview with @profess.bsky.social Lydia Patton. #HPS #HOPOS

14 September 1906 | A Czech Jewish woman, Vilma Feiglová, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 15 May 1944. She did not survive.

This looks extremely good by @sabinaleonelli.bsky.social So important to recognise differences in what 'open' means in #openscience. She shows for Bergson it's to cultivate meaningful social relationships, for Popper it's to exchange ideas and materials. The two can come apart! #philsci #metascience

16 April 1940 | A German Sinti boy, Hans Rosenbach, was born in Egersdorf. In #Zigeunerlager (Gyspy camp) in #Auschwitz II-Birkenau from 15 March 1943. No Z-3261 He perished in the camp on 1 May 1943.

This interview brought back happy memories of the three years I spent as a post-doc in Rheinberger's department at the MPI for the History of Science (about 20 years ago). Thank you, @tespiteri.bsky.social. Your smart and thoughtful questions turned this into a delightful conversation.

sound on heartwrenching

4 August 1920 | A Polish Jew, Jerzy Klein, was born in Vienna. A welder. In #Auschwitz from 11 December 1941. No. 24083 He perished in the camp on 15 March 1942.

2 August 1936 | A French Jewish girl, Berthe Lederman, was born in Paris. In August 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz from Drancy and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

The thing about Colbert is that he has always been smart & fast & brave. Sure the Late Show is a less aggressive venue so what he does is often less pointed, but he does that well too while also finding ways to talk head on to power. I really hope we get to see him unleashed for the next 6 months

“If we understand the objects of psychological research to be epistemically blurry, this implies the existence of epistemic agents from whose perspective they are blurry. If it were not for this perspective, we would not be doing science at all”. Just got a copy! Thanks @ufeest.bsky.social

10 July 1941 | A Hungarian Jewish girl, Emilia Barat, was born. In June 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Thanks to the Auschwitz Memorial for sharing these daily reminders. I read each and every one of them

Someone in my feed asked people to share baby pictures of their pet, but I couldn't figure out how to add this to their post. Presenting to you: Arlo as a young dog 🐕

This seems like a good moment to repost this wonderful interview

Congratulations to Mazviita!

This looks fantastic! #philsci, #metascience, #openscience

Interesting interview

Great read

A gofundme fund for Helen de Cruz's children, set up with Helen's blessing by @marcusarvan.bsky.social:

This is a beautiful piece. Thank you!

Can't wait to immerse myself in great talks and heated discussions at this amazing interdisciplinary workshop organized by @ufeest.bsky.social for two days. #metasci #philsci #sts #histsci

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

even after an incredible day of protests, it’s impossible for me not to end it by thinking about the murder of rep. melissa hortman and what it portends.

Two great talks I was able to attend yesterday!

Excited to announce this upcoming worshop about trust and credibility in psychology. Registration deadline is June 5 (tomorrow), but please note that this is an in-person event. So register only if you know that you will be able to attend #philsi #metascience #psychology, #sts

I've written something short about the encounters between past and future, between concern and hope, and between modernity and postmodernity in the metascience space on the Blog of Trial and Error: Wissenschaftschmerz! blog.trialanderror.org/wissenschaft...

if I ever retire from academia, there will be a few things I will miss. But one thing I will not miss is Editorial Manager...

Hey SIPS folks, we want to run a small repliCATS pilot on Day 0 (24 June) in Budapest to get feedback on our latest project! Join @fidlerfm.bsky.social & @fallonmody.bsky.social for a 2-hour session, with catered lunch + 50 euro visa card. More details here: forms.gle/Z7p7PqA5vqpC...

Interesting thread

- Science is never a done deal, so we have to constantly diagnose issues and improve. We will not do that in a top-down manner, by hasty generalizations, undue extrapolations, or untested solutions. We will never have a "golden standard science". Science is not a monolith.

My organization @busaracenter.bsky.social is now on Bluesky! Give them a follow if you wanna know more about applied behavioral science in the Global South. We are the premier organizations doing this, and one of a vanishingly small number headquartered there (we are headquartered in Nairobi)

Sharing so I will remember 😉

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

The worst happened. We were DOGE’d. Our NSF funding is gone. So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment. It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/ expertvoicestogether.org

It’s OK, though, none of them wrote op-eds about the suffering of Palestinians

a really interesting interview. @ufeest.bsky.social does philosophy of psychology like it should be done! looking forward to reading the book!

Can't quite get myself to listen to this, but here's the interview that Carrie Figdor did with me on my recent book newbooksnetwork.com/operationism... @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social #philsci, #philosophy, #psychology, #HPS, #HOPOS, #metascience

Haven't read the published paper but saw @martinkusch.bsky.social present an erlier version at a conference a few years back. Highly recommended!
