- What makes a particular #experiment 'pursuitworthy'? Do criteria differ across scientific fields? @ennofischer.bsky.social & I have extended the deadline for submissions to our topical collection on these issues. Please help us spread the word! 👇 tu-dresden.de/gsw/phil/iph... #philsci #philsky #HPS
- In the incredibly niche category of authorial homage poetry on John Rawls, John Koethe's poem (shown below) could certainly be considered the best—although, surprisingly, not the only one (see, e.g., storysouth.com/stories/ode-...). 😜 #philsky
- 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
- New essay review in @jgps.bsky.social! M.R. Martínez-Ordaz & D. Cañas assess the prospects of using robust international scientific consensus as a reliable indicator of 'future-proof science,' as proposed by @pvickers.bsky.social in his latest book link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #philsky
- My colleague Bo Schuman runs a YouTube channel on #logic— particularly its philosophy & history. As part of his FWO project's outreach efforts, he plans to be much more active in the coming years. Share it with struggling students & check it out yourself! www.youtube.com/@LogicwithBo... #philsky
- Last Friday, I had a lot of fun presenting my joint work with @philosobio.bsky.social on basal cognition research at UPV/EHU. Thanks a lot to @ias-research.bsky.social for the invitation! The recording is available here: youtu.be/GTzaRhwilIM?... 📃👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #cogsky
- In response to Graham Priest, Melisa Vivanco argues that demarcating a plurality of pure mathematical structures is no easy task. Check out her new essay review, which I had the pleasure of commissioning & editing for @jgps.bsky.social! 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsky #mathsky #philsci
- Is basal cognition research on the right track? Drawing parallels with the #evo-devo approach to the #evolution of development, @philosobio.bsky.social & I argue in our new 📝 that it exhibits both promise & potential hurdles in studying cognitive evolution👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci

- How do we judge whether a particular experiment is 'pursuitworthy'? What factors need to be considered? @ennofischer.bsky.social & I are receiving submissions exploring these & related questions for a topical collection in EJPS! Please help us spread the word! tu-dresden.de/gsw/phil/iph... #philsci
- Is niche construction (NC) just about selection? In our new #HPbio paper, we argue that NC can also influence drift by modulating pop. size & driftability (variance in possible reproductive outcomes). This link prompts a broader definition of NC 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #evosky
