Georgi Gardiner is hosting an online event to celebrate the philosophical art of @helendecruz.net next Tuesday, 6/24, at 11 a.m. CT. All are welcome! Details at www.georgigardiner.com/helen.

As I write my book exploring whether scientific experimentation can be automated, I once again come back to Duhem's good sense, about 20 years since I wrote my dissertation on it, later to evolve into my first journal article and eventually this book. www.cambridge.org/core/element...

My new piece 'Energy, Ethics & Sustainability: Towards an Integrated Environmental AI Ethics' is out and available to read here #AI #EnvironmentalEthics #Sustainabilty #Climate newn.cam.ac.uk/newnham-news...

Fantastic paper which captures so much of what I have also found deeply problematic behind the misplaced narratives on the promises of GenAI in education. Absolute must read. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

By drawing on moralism debate in philosophy of art and the argument from the imaginative resistance, I offer conditions under which we can find value in AI generated art, despite our moral objections to AI. #SpringerNature #AI #Art #Philosophy #AIEthics link.springer.com/article/10.1...

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...

Is #AIart really art? The end of art? Bad art? I explore how artistic exploitation, data bias and environmental cost can prevent us from engaging with AI art. Yet, I argue that artists can employ this immorality well, helping us overcome our imaginative resistance. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Happy Earth Day 💚 Today is a good opportunity for us all to pause and think about our relationship to nature, new technologies and the future of our planet. I hope you enjoy this piece, I tried to be optimistic. #earthday2025 #AI #AIethics

What could providing students with knowledge and skills to support climate justice look like in the context of AI development and deployment? Read my reflections on the Importance of Environmental AI Ethics for Earth Day #AI #Earthday @cfi-cambridge.bsky.social www.lcfi.ac.uk/news-events/...

Should environmental interests feature in the development and deployment of #AI ? Can feminism inform our answers to this question? At the Rosalind Franklin Women in STEM Conference I look into what a promising Integrated Environmental AI Ethics could look like 💚@newnhamcollege.bsky.social

Excited to go back to my HPS roots with this new Unit I designed on all things Henri Poincare! From conventionalism, structuralism, values in science, creativity, aesthetics, he continues to be my biggest inspiration and I can't wait to teach this course in the Fall www.ice.cam.ac.uk/course/under...

So honored that my work was mentioned on ABC National in Australia! AoS comes in around 7:30min 💗 www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

I really loved making this book with the wonderful @srdfrench.bsky.social and am so happy others value it. So grateful to Chiara Ambrosio for writing this review, which bring me to tears every time I read it (and I do read it often enough in my impostur moments). www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I am thrilled to be part of the Rosalind Franklin STEM Conference at Newnham College dedicated to the question: What’s next for Green Energy? In my talk 'Energy, ethics and sustainability' I will be exploring the ecological cost of AI and present a new integrated approach to environmental AI ethics.

I will be keynote at the Open Minds Conference at the University of Manchester, an event supporting Masters and PhD students in all areas of philosophy in their academic journey. Please consider participating and spread the word. philevents.org/event/show/1...

I am very excited to be keynote speaker for this amazing conference on The Role of Technology in Illustration, the call for papers is still open for those interested in participating in this debate with a diverse range of practitioners kuarc.ku.edu.tr/research-sym...

I am so sad to hear that Micheal Friedman has passed away. It is hard to put into words how much impact he made on our field. His Dynamics of Reason inspired my PhD thesis, which he later examined, offering invaluable guidance. He led with so much kindness and generosity, great loss for our field.

1 woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the uk. 1 in 9 girls under the age of 18 will or have experienced sexual assault or abuse. Girls age 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape/attempted rape. Violence against women and girls has risen 37% since 2018.

Happy mail

So beautiful 💗

What is the role of surprise in science? In this paper we offer the first empirical analysis of surprise drawing from interviews with 215 scientists and show that surprise is often experienced as an aesthetic response, framing its properties, triggers and outcomes. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

It is hard to believe I wrote the most accessed article published in Erkenntnis in 2024! I am so thrilled by the amount of messages i receive regularly from scientists who share how much this paper has changed the way they feel about their work and gave them motivation or meaning 💗

A little interview with me on receiving the 2024 Routledge, Taylor & Francis Prize from @apaphilosophy.bsky.social and what is has meant to me www.ice.cam.ac.uk/about-us/new... #philsci #philsky #aesthetics #Philosophy

We talk too much about Schrödinger’s cat and not enough about Schrödinger’s wardrobe.

What does beauty have to do with science? | https://buff.ly/4gH6oHC Professor @milenaivanova.bsky.social argues that science does in fact use beauty to trigger feelings of awe and wonder, but beauty can also be a guide to scientific discovery. #philsci #astronomy

I cannot believe 'What is a Beautiful Experiment?' has reached 10 000 downloads! Surreal for a philosophy paper, thanks to everyone who has taken an interest in this work! #philsci #philsky #aesthetics #Science #Philosophy link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I am beyond honoured to receive the 2024 Routledge, Taylor & Francis Prize for my article “What Is a Beautiful Experiment?”. from the American Philosophical Association! It means so much to receive this incredible recognition, thank you! www.apaonline.org/page/2024pri...

Our book The Aesthetics of Scientific Experiments is now available paper back and is on end of year sale! www.routledge.com/The-Aestheti... @alicemurphs.bsky.social #philsci #philsky #aesthetics #booksky #Science #Philosophy
