A brilliant presentation on history of photography in astronomy, and the blurring of the analog / digital divide, by @carljoseph.bsky.social Winner of Langham prize at this years @aahpsss.bsky.social conference Highly recommend #hps #histsci #scicomm

Feminist scientists in the '60s and ’70s challenged the entrenched view of primate societies as ruled by aggressive alpha males, uncovering complex dynamics of cooperation. But as this podcast details, the "alpha male" myth endures in human culture. W/ @samaragreenwood.bsky.social

🎙️ New HPS Pod! I chat with Prof. Lydia Patton about HOPOS — the history of philosophy of science. From her editorship of the journal to the future of the discipline, Patton shares why a historical lens reshapes core philosophical questions. 🎧 Link in bio! #HOPOS

An absolute privilege to interview the scientist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy for @hpspodcast.bsky.social She was so generous & honest in talking about the shifts she had to experience in order to 'see' that men could be expert carers of babies #philsci #hps #fathertime

This week, @samaragreenwood.bsky.social returns to The HPS Podcast with a special guest: renowned primatologist and evolutionary anthropologist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy. Their interview, “Rethinking Our Starting Assumptions,” is available now — link below! #hps #science

Blaffer Hrdy (ask me how autocorrect dealt with both of those words…) is an amazing researcher and razor-sharp thinker. I don’t listen to many podcasts (the bandwidth is too low for my taste) but I will do so here.

It was a true privilege to have had the chance to interview Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, whose work has long influenced both my research interests and engagement with this discipline. It's this week's episode of The HPS Podcast – out now! 🎧 @hpspodcast.bsky.social #hps #histsci #experiments

What do monsters have to do with science? Today, Dr Surekha Davies joins us to discuss her new book Humans: A Monstrous History – a sweeping look at how ideas about humanity have been shaped by encounters with that which did not quite "fit". @drsurekhadavies.bsky.social #HPS #history #monsters

The HPS Podcast is back! 🎙️ Season 5 launches with a special episode, where I join Samara to reflect on the podcast, discuss iHPS, and consider the roads ahead. I’m thrilled to be your new lead host this season, and can't wait to share an amazing lineup of guests — stay tuned! #hps #sts #philsci

Two fantastic online projects recognised by the BSHS #histsci

Me: maybe we should have a podcast or something? HPS grad students:

I'm thrilled to announce that @hpspodcast.bsky.social has won the prestigious 2024 BSHS Ayrton Prize for Digital Engagement! Thank you to @fidlerfm.bsky.social @cjcontarino.bsky.social and Indigo Keel, who have been so essential to our success. #hps #philsci #histSTM #sts 🧪

What a wonderful example of #HPS community! Via Bluesky @penders.bsky.social, @mbarany.com & I developed a better alternative to either *scientific consensus* or *convergent evidence*. Find our proposal below the editorial that started it all - www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #philsci #sts

My favourite spot for a spot of tea and a chat on campus - University House Lounge at Melbourne Uni.

I was told it is about time I set up an academic website for myself, so here it is. It's a pretty simple 1-pager, but if you have a chance to click through, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. (I wish bsky links didn't make my head look so big) #hps #histsci #philsci #sts www.samaragreenwood.com

In the lead up to the launch of Season 5, we have re-released some of the most popular episodes from our collection for your listening pleasure. Make sure you've had a listen! Or a re-listen, like @schizosemia.bsky.social #hps #histsci #philsci #sts 🧪

Here is a quick lesson in objectivity in science, and why diversity is important to its maintenance. Plus a fascinating case study! @samaragreenwood.bsky.social

My interview for *The Philosopher's Zone* podcast on Feminism and Primatology is out now! I managed to scrounge up the courage to listen and I'm quite proud 🙃 You can listen to the ep via the ABC website or in the usual podcast places #hps #sts #histsci #PhilSci #feminism #primatology

The interviewer becomes the interviewee... today I recorded an ep for The Philosopher's Zone with David Rutledge at ABC studios all about my research on Feminism and primatology. Episode airs Sunday at 5.30pm AEST --> www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... #hps #histsci #philsci

And another great thread on this topic bsky.app/profile/sama... #hps #histSTM #philsci #sts #scicomm 🧪

Another alternative to "scientific consensus" @mbarany.com suggests "convergent understanding" My e.g. 'This is our convergent understanding based on decades of research, debate & critical testing, and supported by substantial lines of diverse evidence' yep, nice suggestion #hps #philsci

I like the term 'convergent evidence'. On first glance at least, it appears to be doing a lot of good work. But I am interested to hear the views of other historians and philosophers of science? #hps #philsci #histSTM

We did it! Well actually, *you* did it! Thanks to everyone for your continued support... our goal is to keep bringing you great content from the exciting world of #hps - new season coming very soon!!

A huge welcome to our new host for 2025 Thomas Spiteri @tespiteri.bsky.social! Word is some excellent interviews are coming your way very soon... #hps #philsci #histstm #sts

Why not help a poor pod out? 😀

I’m very aware of how dangerous this can be for any professor in any discipline at a public school, especially in a “red” or “purple” state. That’s why I’m framing it not as activism—which I don’t do in my classroom even as I respect many who do—but, frankly, empiricism. What is. 11/

My survey class on the history of science is essentially about the social conditions required for science. The final lecture is always about how the US became the dominant nation for research in the 2nd half of the 20th century, and how it in retrospect it may be seen as an anomalous "Golden Age."

Shout to my amazing friend and colleague @gemmalucysmart.bsky.social for speaking out on the condition facing Australian academics working or studying in the US. #hps #sts

I'm possibly on some watch lists now but I honestly believe this is an issue that we need to speak out on, especially in the context of an election with one party endorsing these sorts of views. Academic freedom without diverse views is not free. Thanks to The Guardian #auspol #histmed #disability

You know you are officially an #hps nerd when you have fridge magnets from @isisjournal.bsky.social and @hoposjournal.bsky.social proudly displayed alongside those from travels and family :) #histsci #philsci

Hard hitting thoughts from scholar and advocate @gemmalucysmart.bsky.social on problems with travelling to US conferences, particularly for those working on some the most important topics today #diversity #equity #inclusion #sts #hps #philsci #histsci 🧪

If you're interested in philosophy of biology—particularly its intersections with #evolution, #paleosky, and comparative studies of #behavior, #cognition, and #culture —consider following @theramseylab.bsky.social! We're a cool group of philosophers with a broad range of expertise! #philsci #HPbio

Listening to Sandra Soon-Jin Lee discussing institutional empathy (and lack thereof) in AI governance, and reeling with horror at the list of terms marked as “flags” for possible termination of USA federal funding - “HISTORICAL” is a problem term?!?! Insanity does not begin to cover it #philsci #hps

Really provoked by "colloquial science" as an analytic; a helpful tool to complicate the distinction between scientific discourse and public engagement. Great interview also @samaragreenwood.bsky.social @emilam.bsky.social

Reminder to those interested in the excellent work of historians, philosophers and sociologists of science - pls checkout our very popular Bluesky 'HPS Starter Pack' #hps #philsci #histsci #sts 🧪

Quietly thrilled with the response to my presentation on relations between Artisans, Practical Math'ns & Latin Scholars in EM Italy at the iHPS 2025 conference. Hoping to get this paper out v soon! #hps #philsci #histsci

@caltech.edu - what a beautiful campus for this year's &HPS Conference. Those turtles... #hps #philsci #histsci

Just did the UCI podcast on Women in Science - historic barriers, current barriers, promoting women in science, why it matters that we do so. Very not on trend for right now. news.uci.edu/2025/03/31/u...

Amazing workshop on the #hps of Relations between Macro & Micro physics, held at the Einstein Papers Project, Caltech. Thanks to @josheisenthal.bsky.social for inviting me to chair a session, and to co-orgs @miguelohn.bsky.social & @j2dong.bsky.social - a real privilege #histsci #philsci

The 10th Integrated HPS conference @caltech.edu was great. Such a pleasure to meet and hear from so many great historians and philosophers of science! I even said some things *really* quickly ⚡️ Special thanks to our organisers @josheisenthal.bsky.social @ufeest.bsky.social & @193.bsky.social #hps

Loved the talk on the history of the concept of 'ingroups' at &HPS 2025 by @yaelfeitelson.bsky.social - some really exciting research #hps #histsci #philsci

Attending the 10th conference for Integrated #HPS at @caltech.edu. Many talks mention the work of George Smith, including Marius Stan's keynote address, Michael Veldman's talk on Du Châtelet, and Teru Miyake's talk on the measurement of physical constants. philpeople.org/profiles/geo...

Stunning dinner at Caltech's Atheneum for &HPS 2025, such a beautiful setting for great conversations and nerdy humour
