I hadn't seen a starter pack yet for ethics (sorry if I missed it!), so I decided to throw one together. Let me know if I've missed anyone (including yourself!)--I cobbled this together quickly, so it's likely I've missed some folks! (And let me know if you want to be removed!) go.bsky.app/6woXBGa

Coming up Thursday! Highlighting super interesting work by two scientists that connects to a lot of topics in Phil of Sci. Check out their bios. Modelling, simulations, values, local knowledge, in a deeply historically situated place; connects to a lot of work. Discussion will be lively #PSA24

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.
