A footnote to the Copernican revolution: What a profound epistemic rupture it was, wasn’t it, for the Earth to be demoted to the status of a planet? We are no longer at the center of the universe — just an ordinary planet, inhabited by ordinary people.

Dear International Colleagues, who is coming to the British Society for the History of Science conference in Cambridge this July? I am organizing a panel on Global Newtonianism, and would love to meet you there.

Newton's active years and the periods in which he was interested in working on different subjects.

May be it is just the beginning.

Zeitgeist Anlatının sınırlarına geldim. Müdahaleye geçiyorum. No longer content with narration. I'm stepping into intervention.

Good to see you on here @dgtarbuck.bsky.social! I really enjoyed your work on the Fair Intellectual Club when I was writing my PhD on the Spalding Gentlemen's Society :)

🚀 Exciting news! We are launching Bahçeşehir Journal of Intellectual History and History of Science (BJIHHS)—a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to research in intellectual history & history of science. 📢 Stay tuned for our Call for Papers! 🌐 More soon on our website. #BJIHHS

From Newton to Locke 'I beg your pardon for my having hard thoughts of you..., and for representing that you struck at the root of morality,...,and that I took you for a Hobbist." 1693.

Be honest, you feel like to want to die, when someone says: this is more like a comment than a question after your paper. :)

Decolonize the Future!

Newton's active years and the periods in which he was interested in working on different subjects.

Friends, whenever you feel the urge to give advice, remember the power of silence.

Anti-Newtonianism in the 18th century: the case of #Scotland | doi.org/10.4081/peas... #openaccess #AcademicSky 🧪👨‍🎓📚

The reactions and responses, over three centuries, to the posthumous revelations that Isaac Newton was a practicing alchemist #histsci thonyc.wordpress.com/2024/12/25/c...

Yesterday, I found myself saying that political correctness is more about being political than correct—let's see what happens to me now. :)

Sneak peak from last publication of 2024.

Great news! In 2025, the British Journal for the History of Science will move to a Research Open publication model. From 13 August 2025, all research articles will be open-access - reaching more readers and free access to the newest research in HistSTEAM!

Our BSHS annual conference 2025 is approaching quickly! Join us July 8-10 in Cambridge for another unforgettable #HistSci event in one of England's oldest universities. Check out the CfP and submit your abstract by January 10. https://buff.ly/3YWqCp6

I am editing a book which is getting published in 2025, I asked AI to prepare a cover, here it is. Any guesses about the title?

Is there a way to transfer all the contacts from there to here? :)

I learned a long time ago that written word is much stronger than spoken, so I rarely give credit or attention on word said in Academia. Also, again in Academia, negativity says much more about the person who is doing it, than who is subjected to it. Verba volant, scripta manent.

Who should I follow around here? I'd like to discover some new accounts. I'd appreciate it if you could help me out.

Emotions are the safety valves of the struggle in the process of evolution.

News: I'm organizing an international workshop in Istanbul in November, focused on Global Studies on Newton. I will post the abstracts of the talks with permission from the participating professors soon. I will also share the program as the date approaches for those interested.

At 20:00 Istanbul time today, Rebekah Higgitt @rhiggitt.bsky.social and I will be talking about Science Museums. The YouTube link will be active closer to the time of our conversation. This recording was held in English with Turkish subtitles. Link to watch: youtube.com/watch?v=Rj1y...

In a world dominated by a culture of productivity, concepts such as laziness, procrastination and boredom are being emptied out, in fact, if you only knew how productive these are.

@davidhendy.bsky.social Dear David Hendy, I DM'd you from the other account, it is about a project of mine, many thanks for your help in advance, Derya.

A gentle reminder to those who think that the practice of science is democratic and meritocratic: The unhindered publication of prestigious scientists over time leads to epistemic inequality in the dissemination of scientific ideas.

I have a documentary project, can you put me in touch with someone at the BBC? please share widely, so I can get through to them, thank you.

I've got a contract with Routledge, a Newtonianism book is coming in a year, my friends :)

There is not much difference between Utopia and Dystopia, because both are written against the backdrop of a state of discontent, one is orientated towards what is desired and will never happen, and the other towards what is and will never be desired. Both travel the borders of impossibility.

Can human nature have a historicity?
