@vmywang.bsky.social reviews Robert Northcott’s Science for a Fragile World, a book that asks how scientific practice should shift when the systems we study—and rely on—are under strain. Her piece appears in our November issue: buff.ly/hUCMcjS #PhilSky #PhilosophyOfScience

Fifty years to the day since the death of Hannah Arendt. This is (still) such a fantastic interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVSR...

We stand corrected on the matter of nougat. Read the new issue’s letters here, with further contributions on why the city of Tacoma smells, who's responsible for splitting the Labour Party and what exactly Gramsci wrote. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

In further PhD-procrastination news, I've written a letter to the editor @lrb.co.uk. Given its circulation, this might be the most-read thing I ever write. It's about an Austrian dessert and contains the word "Punschkrapferlkoalition"; who doesn't love compound nouns? www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

It's been three (!) years since I last posted something on my blog, but you still gotta love cells, as they say... so here's a little piece discussing philosopher Talbot Brewer's talk/essay "What Good Are the Humanities?" lovecells.wordpress.com/2025/11/25/w... #philsky 💙📚

A very thought-provoking afternoon with Robert Northcott discussing his excellent book with us and presenting some more recent work on the philosophy of history — the role of singular causal inference in explaining historical events. #philsci

Grotesque and sickening to come back home after a busy day of teaching and being a student to read that Tory policy would mean I could not remain here. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This was fun and useful! I would recommend it in case you’re hesitating to sign up for a future iteration 🧑🏻‍🏫 #philsci #philsky

Some positive news- and I was one of the 2,147! 🚲

It is somehow reassuring that even Sally Haslanger (in her 2016 paper on social structural explanations) "remains confused"... #philsky

This is unbearable.
