Some fields list authors alphabetically. Others use norms like "senior last". Others use order to signify relative contributions. In a new paper with @kevinzollman.com, we model the evolution of these norms, and then look at which type of norm is best for science. doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Highly highly recommended! The place is great and @cmolho.bsky.social is fabulous to work with!

Happy #WplusEBSWednesday, folks! This week, we're spotlighting the Toulouse Summer School in Quantitative Social Sciences (May 26–June 19), hosted by @tse-fr.eu and @iast.fr . Applications due Dec. 15! Great opportunity for PhD students - check it out at the link :) www.tse-fr.eu/toulouse-sum...

Some philosophical easter eggs... 🌷🌼🐇https://www.maxnoichl.eu/blog/2025/easter-eggs/

"reluctant altruism represents a fundamental aspect of human social behavior... the evidence points to reluctant altruism being guilt-driven"

“widely adopted practices like senior-last positioning and alphabetical ordering may function as institutional frictions that impede valuable scientific collaborations rather than neutral organizational conventions, potentially reducing overall scientific productivity across affected disciplines”

New preprint from @tobyhandfield.bsky.social and me! We analyze authorship order norms from two perspectives: (1) why do disciplines have different norms and (2) do those different norms affect what kinds of collaborations take place. arxiv.org/abs/2507.07364

Here's a start to a mathematical philosophers starter pack. I'm having a hard time keeping track of who is here these days. Apologies if I missed you. Let me know if you want to be added or removed, or if you know anyone else who should be on here.

Undergrads interested in philosophy of science? Please share that applications are open for our summer development program! lpssdp.com?fbclid=IwY2x...

"Sure, the last 1000 grad students failed to solve the problem of induction, but that's no reason to think I can't do it."
