If you’re interested in practicing the philosophy of science in practice why not come along to an online workshop “the philosophy of science in practice - in practice”? #philsci

I am participating in the online workshop on philosophy of science in practice this afternoon

Assorted drawings I've done but maybe not shared. Fighting elephant seals, the Paleogene pantodont Coryphodon, a Black rough-necked monitor, and the Triassic trilophosaur Teraterpeton.

A month to go to submit abstracts for the 2nd HPS of Biodiversity meeting in Copenhagen, 30.04–2.05.26. Deadline: Fri 7 Nov 2025. Contributions welcome “that reflect on the conceptualization/quantification/classification/measurement/valuation/crisis/conservation of biodiversity.”

I've just launched my new website! It has a page on my Marie Curie project, which I will keep updating as the project progresses. yoshinariyoshida.com

"Relinquishing experimental control to improve translation" link.springer.com/article/10.1... A great paper by Jacqueline Wallis! I think it has interesting implications to model organism research, control practices, standardization, etc.

We’re excited to launch the official BlueSky profile of ISHPSSB! Founded in 1998, we connect researchers in philosophy, history, and social studies of biology and medicine worldwide. Follow us for updates and events! #PhilosophyOfBiology, #HistoryOfScience, #STS, #Biology, #Medicine

I’m thrilled to share that I’m awarded a Marie Curie fellowship! I will research in the HPS Section at the U of Copenhagen over the next two years. It's an honor to receive such a prestigious fellowship, and I’m excited to collaborate with outstanding colleagues here.

EMBL Symposium: Collectivity in living systems: emergence, function, and evolution 24-27 Feb 2026 at Heidelberg This looks interesting. I wonder if I could present something from my philosophical work on collective cell behavior... www.embl.org/about/info/c...

So... I have a new paper on the problem of classifying the Ediacaran biota, which includes a (very selective) historical narrative and some philosophical reflections, as well as a comparison with the problem of Burgess problematica www.extinctblog.org/palaeonews/2...

I left Exeter, where I spent a wonderful two years as a postdoc. I will miss my excellent colleagues, friends, and the city itself. Thank you all and I will definitely come back!

Had a wonderful time at #DinoConUK this Sunday. It was so special to meet and chat with Dougal Dixon, the author of books that I have loved since my teenage!

My friend and colleague Remco Heesen once told me study of social epistemology of science made him "less trusting of any particular scientific paper but more impressed by science as a whole." I honestly think that's the right lesson to draw. But I think holding both attitudes doesn't come naturally.

It was such a great honor to host Prof. Michela Massimi’s @michelamassimi.bsky.social special lecture at the Japanese Philosophy of Science Association. Her talk was truly inspiring for thinking about a more human-centered form of science—something much needed today.

New preprint out! We use string diagrams to quantitatively model process causality (à la Salmon) and tackle issues like the Principle of Common Cause, explanatory irrelevance, and more—turns out process causation might be cooler than you thought. philsci-archive.pitt.edu/25367/

A great Phi-Geo meeting today talking with @celsoneto.bsky.social about one of his works in progress

I'm sad that I had to miss this talk. It sounds so interesting and can be closely related to my current research

A big thanks to @elisj.bsky.social who gave a very interesting talk about baselines in ecology (and other biological fields!) in our Lecture Series yesterday! 🪸 Thank you also to everyone who joined the talk and the great discussion afterwards! 🤓 #HPBio #PhilSci
