After a few not-so-successful rounds with reviewers who don’t really buy into the idea of a normative digital philosophy of science, we (with @mmilkowski.bsky.social) decided to write something to fill that gap – and to show that digital research also has normative potential.

Congratulation to Mazviita Chrimuuta! The Brain Abstracted is such a great riposte of a title to the brain explained #philsci #philsky

pt. 2/2 You all brought them happiness and an emotional outlet throughout their sickness with your kind words and the platform you provided them. Her husband and children

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

@psychmag.bsky.social asked me some questions about my book. #philsci, #psychology, #hps, #metascience

This reads like a horror story

Sandra Harding, a philosopher well-known for her work in feminist theory, postcolonial theory, and philosophy of science, has died.

BREAKING: Elon Musk's rocket explosion nearly hit a commercial flight. This kind of content is being downranked on X. Please share it here. This is so dangerous.

Very excited to announce ISPSM’s preliminary programme and call for abstracts for this year’s conference! ✨ Deadline for submission: 01/05/2025 See philevents.org/event/show/1... for full event details. #philsky

@royalsociety.org @aaas.org @nationalacademies.org are all complicit. Just like institutions and universities in the past when authoritarian powers took control. Not surprising but shameful.

Latest papers: Paweł Gładziejewski argues that experiences of altered temporality that accompany deep meditative and psychedelic states provide phenomenal contrast cases to ordinary passage phenomenology doi.org/10.1080/0951...

The deadline was extended, by popular request, by one week to March 10th!

#ESPP deadline is tomorrow! Remember to submit your abstract to ESPP 2025 (Warsaw, Sep 2-5). espp2025.ifispan.edu.pl

This post choked me up a bit. Please fight for Helen and people like Helen. Not just because I like Helen’s brain, which I do, but also because cancer trials can save lives and people’s lives are worth saving.

While it’s no fun to get CT scanned, an mri, a bone biopsy under total sedation I am grateful for the lengths at which my medical team is going to make an accurate picture of my disease. And they also applied for clinical trials for me. Cancer care in the US is wonderful, a shame it’s being gutted

If you didn’t know of someone for whom the cancellation of cancer treatment trials was a matter of life and death, now you do. Especially folks in GOP districts, call your representatives and tell them you want people like Helen to have a chance to live. Thank you. 🧪

I am beyond excited to announce the imminent arrival of my book. Operationism in Psychology. An Epistemology of Exploration: press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo... Brief chapter summaries below (1/10)

I realized that there was no story in English that would explain what happened to my institute, so I decided to write up this blog entry, which shows how low-quality AI systems fail to assess research quality: marcinmilkowski.pl/2024/11/20/w...

W najnowszym artykule na łamach Forum Akademickiego opisuję niepokojącą sytuację związaną z ewaluacją dyscypliny filozofii w IFiS PAN: ➡️ Przyznano nam najniższą w Polsce ocenę za publikacje naukowe... ➡️ ...jednocześnie przyznając najwyższą ocenę za granty badawcze.
