A very nice surprise: the new editorial by Henk ten Have and Bert Gordijn in Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy engages directly with the broader issue at the centre of my recent paper, "White by Default" doi.org/10.1007/s110...

anw sign here: www.change.org/p/stop-the-h... > In these venues he has repeatedly advanced claims about the supposed cognitive inferiority of Black people , along with broader arguments about the “feminization” of academia and suggestions that eugenic ideas deserve renewed scientific consideration.

race realists are so insidious... how can he even be getting jobs and not laughed out of the room? > Cofnas is not conducting legitimate academic research into race and intelligence but instead spreading pseudoscience. www.brusselstimes.com/2020013/ughe...

Another great news - @davideserpico.bsky.social, Valentina Petrolini, and I just published a commentary for a brilliant article "Autism and the Pseudoscience of Mind", written by @travislacroix.bsky.social

In the new @eenphilsci.bsky.social blog I tell my origin story, my current projects, and some of my struggles. eenps.weebly.com/blog/daniel-... Thank you @annaalexandrova.bsky.social and @gabrieltarziu.bsky.social for inviting me to share it. #philsci

I recently added an entry on the @eenphilsci.bsky.social blog: a bit of my story from early international experiences to my current work on coherence and reasoning, and what it’s like building philosophy of science here in Central & Eastern Europe. eenps.weebly.com/blog/borut-t... #philsci

📢 New EENPS blog posts on philosophy of science in the CEE region! Daniel Kostić reflects on topological explanation, explanatory pragmatics & structural bias in academia. Borut Trpin writes on coherence, modelling & building philosophy of science in Slovenia. 👉 eenps.weebly.com/blog #philsci

Four years of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. I argue that when we assess the health consequences of this war as a form of colonial and imperial aggression, we also need to look at what happens after displacement. #philsci #health #racism Full paper: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

My new paper is out! lnkd.in/d7QhdqVD Publishing on racism against people racialised as Eastern Europeans and its impact on health is not easy. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who supported me throughout this process. #philsci #racism #health

Racist billionaires backing eugenics projects: no surprise. After the Epstein files dropped, I wanted to check them for ties to the racist eugenics network. No time though – I’m writing about how it infiltrates academia and passes itself off as "science"😉 www.thenerve.news/p/epstein-bi...

Third time’s a charm? 🤞 @ncn.gov.pl

I’ve spent years researching racism and discrimination, including racism against people racialised as Eastern Europeans. And, unfortunately, this case only confirms how easily violence and dehumanisation are tolerated when directed at certain groups. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

The PSA Around the World 2025 series begins this Thursday, 6 Nov! 🔥🌈🎉 Join us online for sessions highlighting philosophy of science from and about Eastern & Central Europe. Registration still open — fee waivers available! 👉 www.philsci.org/psa_around_t... #philsci

NEW RESEARCH confirms: Countering far-right messaging by repeating it mainstreams extremist ideas and amplifying extremist terminology cedes the framing of the issues to the right. (I’ll add that social media “dunking” only serves to spread undesired content.) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

The PSA Around the World 2025 is coming soon: Nov 6, 14 & 22 (online)! Hosted by @philsci.bsky.social and @eenphilsci.bsky.social it highlights #philsci from, about, and connected to Central and Eastern Europe. Great lineup, still time to register! www.philsci.org/psa_around_t...

I'm really appreciating the applied turn in philosophy of race over the past few years, toward examining concrete *institutional* effects of particular conceptions of race. Here @malinowska.bsky.social showing off great glasses & talking about distortions in European health outcome research

When the far right weaponises the suffering of Ukrainian refugees, it exposes what populism really is: not about ‘security’ or ‘values’, but about racism, fear-mongering, and dismantling solidarity. kyivindependent.com/how-the-righ...

Today @dsbrooks.bsky.social and I hosted our symposium about conceptual ambiguity at #epsa25, with talks by us, Freek Oude Maatman and Markus Eronen (no pictures of me but you can see my intro slide) 😉

I’m truly honoured to have been elected to the Steering Committee of the EPSA @epsaphilsci.bsky.social . Thank you for the trust and support! I look forward to working with colleagues to strengthen our community – and I’m grateful to those who have served before us for their work 💜 #philsci

The 33rd round of our newsletter is available under the link: eenps.weebly.com/members-publ... ⭐

Just registered for PSA Around the World Eastern Europe. Hope you do too! Organised by @philsci.bsky.social with @eenphilsci.bsky.social this online conference over three afternoons in November covers the past and the present of #philsci in Eastern n Central Europe (where it arguably started!)

EPSA 2025 (@epsaphilsci.bsky.social) was a fantastic conference – full of learning, inspiring conversations, and wonderful people. Grateful to @celsoneto.bsky.social for the invitation to the Race Across Genomics Symposium!

Since the program is not yet online I am posting the screenshot of the panels from the newsletter. @mmilkowski.bsky.social @tmarvan.bsky.social @olesyabondarenko.bsky.social @apotochnik.bsky.social @magdalenamalecka.bsky.social @malinowska.bsky.social thank you for all the work!

‘Pursuing peace’… I have no civil words to describe this performance – an alliance steeped in cynicism, hypocrisy, corruption, cruelty, and duplicity. They truly have no shame.

I just came across a 2001 text advocating a new classification of human biological races. Given Russia’s ongoing crimes against Ukrainians and various indigenous ppls (eg Crimean Tatars), it is telling that the author is from Moscow. Racist ideas continue to flourish there today.

I’ve been swamped with work lately and missed the fact that Steven Pinker has once again appeared on a podcast openly promoting racist and eugenicist ideas. Absolutely vile — though sadly no surprise. Sharing in case others missed it too. More👇 www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Life expectancy at birth reportedly declined by approximately 35 yrs in 2024. This represents a greater collapse in longevity than that recorded during the genocide in Rwanda, where life expectancy at birth declined from age 42·9 yrs in 1993 to age 12·2 yrs in 1994. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

While #ISHPSSB2025 is underway, I'd just like to draw attention to an opportunity at University of Vienna @univie.ac.at for international researchers: senior & early-career fellowships at the new #Vienna Center for Advanced Studies #ViCAS vicas.univie.ac.at Deadline: Sept 1, 2025. Please apply!

A great opportunity to get to know the series (for free)!

Just watched Heads of State. Apparently, we live in the Wild Wild East, there are mountains on the Poland–Belarus border, Warsaw runs on 90s PCs and landlines (all set to country music in the background), and border residents resemble memes of squatting Slavs in tracksuits...

I am truly honoured to be invited to speak at @philsci.bsky.social Around the World 2025 on the panel “Showcasing excellent current work in the CEE region”, organised by Magdalena Małecka and featuring Olesya Bondarenko, Endla Lõhkivi, Stathis Psillos, and myself 😊 eenps.weebly.com/eenps-psa_aw...

Save the dates of 18-19th of September 2026 for the 6th Biennial EENPS Conference at the University of Bucharest!!! Please expect a call for abstracts in autumn 2025 with submissions due likely in winter 2026! eenps.weebly.com/eenps-2026.h...

Dear all, Helen passed away at 13:21 local time. Helen would not have wanted us to be sad for a long time. All they wanted was to be remembered. They looked forward to being rid of pain and to being at rest. Helen took great comfort in you, their friends and readers. pt. 1/2

"There are few things in my life that I am truly proud of, being part of the beginning of EENPS is certainly one of them." Lilia Gurova The first entry regarding the history of EENPS has been published on our website! 👇 eenps.weebly.com/history-and-...

The East European Network for Philosophy of Science (EENPS) is pleased to announce the relaunch of its Mentorship Scheme for Early Career Scholars! 🥳🔥 More info👇 eenps.weebly.com/mentorship.h... #philsci

It’s probably nothing unusual for you, but for me – a philosopher from Poland – seeing my work mentioned in The Lancet Digital Health, Medical Image Analysis, or Neuroimage is hard to believe. Sadly, most other philosophers don’t seem that interested😅 #philsci #metasci

An extremely interesting symposium on perfomativity in science (with so many great participants and talks ❤ ) will be held in Hanover in June!

If you're spending your Friday afternoon at home, I highly recommend this event!

Looking forward to presenting another panel in October, at Feminist Ethics and Social Theory (FEAST) conference (@feministphilosophy.bsky.social)! Honored to talk Lorde, Hansberry, and bfem critique alongside Andrea Warmack & Naomi Simmons-Thorne. It's a great community I love being a part of. 🌻
