Congratulations to Dr. Castillo Brache @leticiacastillo.bsky.social on successfully defending her PhD dissertation this morning!!! Woo-hoo!!! 🙌🎓🌟 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you to Profs. Samia Hesni, @rachelankeny.bsky.social, & @miguelohn.bsky.social for serving on her committee 🙏 #philsci #phigeo

Very much looking forward to this!

A nice Phi-Geo group trip to @harvardmuseums.bsky.social to see exhibit Measuring Difference & hear a wonderful presentation by @chattyprofessor.bsky.social, artist Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez & #histmed Pablo Gómez, who spoke about roots of medical data about bodies in Atlantic slave trade. #philsci

So many geoethical issues in this ongoing case in my homeland. Barrick Gold must do better! #geoethics #mining #extraction #gold

Identity politics has become a defining buzzword in US politics. But how does the far-right employ identity politics? We discuss on #TheTake podcast with @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social.

Prepare the letter! (written by a different Andy, but i'm happy with the co-incidence)

'Apex' the Stegosaur, the most expensive dinosaur fossil ever sold, will be on display and available to research at the AMNH. My latest for @science.org.

It was great having some of the Phi-Geo grads give short presentations of some relevant material from their research to my "Gender, Race, & Science" class today (Thank you @mattbrewer.bsky.social @matildecarrera.bsky.social & @leticiacastillo.bsky.social!!!)

Thank you for your awesome work on CARE data principles, which my PhD student @leticiacastillo.bsky.social & I have cited in this handbook chapter on philosophical issues in data ⤵️ www.taylorfrancis.com/reader/downl... ⚒️ #philsci

Great talk by my advisor @alisabokulich.bsky.social on “Pierce, Abduction, & Inverse Problems in the Geosciences” at #PSA24

So glad to have had the opportunity to highlight a widespread harmful practice in paleontology and share potential solutions to such a receptive audience 🙌🏼 Thank you #PSA24

Some of the Boston University #PSA24 group out on Bourbon St.

A lovely Phi-Geo & friends dinner @ #PSA24: @rachellaudan.bsky.social Aja W, @miguelohn.bsky.social @terumiyake.bsky.social @mattbrewer.bsky.social AndrewZ @leticiacastillo.bsky.social Kailyn S @federicabocchi.bsky.social @matildecarrera.bsky.social Carlos S, Katherine V @cristianlarph.bsky.social

Catch me at the PSA presenting one of my dissertation chapters! Looking forward to a great discussion 🥳

The Philosophy of Geosciences Research Group at BU, Φ-Geo, is dedicated to exploring topics in the philosophy of the geosciences (historical & current Earth sciences), broadly understood. We have a big group heading to #PSA24 ⚒️ next week--check out our upcoming talks bokulich.org/%cf%86-geo-g... 🧵 ⬇️

Thank you, Alisa! I’m very honored to receive the award 🥳

I've worked on many of the topics in this volume, but the one invited to write is "Models, Data Models, & Big Data", which was co-authored with my fabulous PhD student Leticia Castillo Brache @leticiacastillo.bsky.social #philsci #metasci 🧪

Congrats to Phi-Geo grad @leticiacastillo.bsky.social on also having her contributed paper "Parachute Science in Paleontology as Distributive Epistemic Injustice" accepted for #PSA24! 🎉 Excited the entire Phi-Geo group will be presenting at the upcoming @philsci.bsky.social mtg! 🎉 #philsci #philsky

Sorry to be missing the Society for Philosophy of Science in Practice (#SPSP2024) conference this year, but happy to get a few highlights about the great presentations from grad members of our Phi-Geo group: 🙌 @matildecarrera.bsky.social @mattbrewer.bsky.social & @leticiacastillo.bsky.social

I am so proud of awesome projects the grads in our Phi-Geo group have been working on: @leticiacastillo.bsky.social "Parachute Science in Paleontology as Distributive Epistemic Injustice" on Brazilian dino fossil Irritator challengeri & shows how parachute harms are distributive epistemic injustice

My wonderful PhD student @leticiacastillo.bsky.social is giving a (in person) talk on this important theme Friday.

Fascinating read in AGU EOS about scientific colonialism and the specific case of the fossil, Irritator challengeri 🧪 🦕 ⚒️ Again, I’m buoyed by the energy and bravery of the scientists taking on this fight, many of whom are early career and/or from the global south. eos.org/articles/ill...
