Happy Darwin's Day. Stay on the safe side of the natural selection.

We are soon going to need a term for people who are unable to function without consulting AI first. I propose: LLM-Drone.

Poster çıkmamış, onu da ekleyeyim.

Even if God/s are created by humans, what created humans? Let's call this argument from irreducibility of human creation.

Hi everyone no time no see.👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 Very busy these days, hopefully will return soon. 🤞🏽

burada özgürlük varmış diye duydum, geldim.

Is it time to seriously talk about boycott? Let’s not allow them to turn the Worldcup and the Olympics into a rerun of Berlin 1936.

HiB Seminerleri – 1: Biyoloji Nedir? Herkes için Biyoloji (HiB) seminerlerinin ilkini 17 Ocak 2026 saat 15:00'de "Felsefe, Tarih, Bilim Üçgeninde Biyoloji" başlığıyla Respublika Kafe'de gerçekleştireceğiz. İlgilileri bekleriz. Afiş Tasarımı: Ezgi Onur

A new form of solipsism just dropped. I have just observed someone jokingly suspected that everyone online is AI except himself.

@netflix.com Let me be clear, no star trek, no netflix! #NoStarTrekNoNetflix

New Year's Resolutions Month is upon us. I have many.

Çarenin feminizmde olduğunu bir kez daha idrak ettiğimiz bir günün öğleden sonrası... #ÇareFeminizm

İhsan Şenocak'ın çok konuşulan evrim kitabı bugün geldi sonunda, bakalım nasılmış? #Evrimİhtilafı #Evrim #Darwin

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

"Yaratılış uzayinda yapay zeka ekseni" ifadesini anlamli bir cümle içinde kullanma challege'ı başladı, hadi bakalım.

BTW, I believe Bene Gesserit are the good gals..

OMG, Turkish Twitter 🤯 what an abomination.

Dune: I have read all six volumes from Turkish translations. Throughout the series, the translator has changed. I still wonder what the difference is between a "zen-sunni" and a "zen-sufi." So now I want to read the originals, which edition do you recommend?

İhsan Şenocak'ın yeni kitabı "Evrim - İlmî bir hakikat mi ideolojik aldatma mı?" henüz okumadım tabii ki, yeni çıkmış. Soruya cevabımsa: "Hayır ve Hayır." Ne "ilmi bir hakikat" ne de "ideolojik bir aldatma" Kitap bir gelsin, vaktim olursa belki bir inceleme yazarım. #evrim #bilim #din

Why are you postmodern? You are postmodern! What is your most postmodern quality?

James Watson'nin ardından bilimde ırkçılık ve cinsiyetçilik üzerine etkinlik vb. yapmak, Rosalind Franklin'i anmak isteyen çıkar mı acaba? #FeminizmVeBilim

Bazı erkek arkadaşlarım (yaşamadıkları için olsa gerek) kadınların bilimde nasıl duyulmadığını, görülmediğini anlamıyorlar. Bunu gözlemleyerek büyüdüm, sonra da yaşadım. Uzun yazacağım.

Good day to remember Rosalind Franklin like any other day. 🧬🔬

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

I had a similar intuition once about return of romanticism. However, l am not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing 🤔.

Yesterday at our conference I had a chance to learn about really crucial environmental research, done through community engagement, in the West Bank and Gaza. Studying pollution leading to birth defects , cancers, the whole lot. Funding? USAID. Now all gone; future research uncertain.

I am venturing into the scientific realism debate, thanks to Sober; I will have to do it some of these days anyway.

I have just realized atheism is a form of monotheism, at least in the West, I don't know the situation in the East and South.

Watched "You Are Cordially Invited" episode of DS9- S06E07, once again. www.imdb.com/title/tt0708... One of the best romantic comedies ever, imho.

Elliott Sober was in town (ODTÜ/Ankara/Turkey) yesterday. He gave two talks back-to-back. Below is its flyer. I thought I would disagree with him more :) Maybe I didn't understand it; who knows? But I am inclined to think that there is a fundamental difference between electrons and dinosaurs.

To add clarity to this: Influencers in China that discuss topics such as medicine, law, education, or finance must prove they are qualified or certified to do so, in an aim to clamp down on misinformation. Right now it impacts large influencer accounts (1m+ followers) + bans false advertising.

I thought you might needed this image one of these days. 😬😬

W*rdle çözün ama bizle paylaşmasanız keşke, hele 5li, 6lı, 7li diye sıralayınca taymı çok meşgul ediyor.

Any #rotifer people out there? I have just started to read about them. Open to suggestions.

If only supporters of modern synthesis refrain from the unjustified use of the phrase "evolution by natural selection", where just plain old "evolution" would do, we would have progressed with the discourse enormously. Reporting from reading the Turkish translation of Futuyma's Evolution.

My first-ever attempt at writing an academic article turned into a review of the field project :/ 7 to 8 hundred articles are now waiting to be sorted out. 🤷‍♂️ What can't be cured must be endured...

For the last two days, I have been grappling with databases, AI tools, citation software, websites, etc., for a literature review I am planning. I want ONE THING to rule them ALL. Do I want too much?

The Turkish government tries to criminalize something they call "acting against innate biological sex" which is of course crazy.

I have just lost a long thread of posts I was writing about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Now, I believe that is for the best. Anyway, after a lengthy explanation of myself, I was going to say this: Thou shalt not commit fucking genocide.

I am a member of several established international scholarly organisations, and that is just about it. I am a member, but I am unable to receive replies to my emails or applications to several of their services. I wonder if I am doing something wrong, or if it is just the way it is.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I am considering starting a blog about the philosophy of biology and science. Any suggestions?
