A PhD student at CambridgeHPS has been putting “artwork signs” up all around our department next to “ordinary things” and they are brilliant. They unfailingly make me stop and smile and notice the wonderful strangeness of the world ✨ Best workplace spirit-lift hack I’ve seen in a long time 🙌

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

Philosophers of science: how many of you have read Stephen Toulmin's (very practice-oriented) Introduction to Phil Sci, written in '53? It's one of the gems of the period, beautifully written and indebted to the later Wittgenstein (I love it!) Read up on Extinct: www.extinctblog.org/extinct/2024...

I designed a lecture course on measurement that I will teach at Cambridge in Spring 25 and, in extended form, at Boston University in Fall 25 (drive.google.com/file/d/1w3QE...). t focuses on perennial problems (quantification, scales, evidence) and methods. Happy about feedback. #philsci #philsky

Aja Watkins and I gave a brief talk on why there should be a philosophy of the geosciences at UMinnesota. Even if geosciences draw eclectically on methods and theories from physics, biology, chemistry, ..., they face similar problems in measurement, modeling, and causal inference #philsci #philsci

Trying to get my thoughts together about the passing of George Smith. He didn't publish a lot, but everything he did put out there deserves to be read more by philosophers. Like this one, with Jed Buchwald, trying to take head-on Kuhn's incommensurability thesis: direct.mit.edu/posc/article...
