I wrote this piece for @thebaffler.com on RFK Jr and the politicization of science (drawing on some ideas I’m developing for my new book…)

Turns out a bunch of philosophers have independently used the #niche concept to think about science. @sabinaleonelli.bsky.social and I looked into these and built a framework for research niches. Paper coming out in #EJPS soon, preprint up at philsci-archive.pitt.edu/24675/

Myself and Rose Trappes are restarting our bi-monthly reading group on Epistemic Diversity & Epistemic Injustice this coming February. Link to the reading list below! If you are interested in participating shoot me a message! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The Philosophy of Data with @sabinaleonelli.bsky.social, @vlastasikimic.bsky.social, and Rhaul Sam #PhilSci #PhilSky

Wrote an R script to automatically* download multiple components on the Open Science Framework. I manage an OSF project with 100+ components that I regularly back up, so it's a life-saver. 😌 Would anyone be interested in this? It's a bit of a niche way to use OSF (see below). #OpenScience #RStats

AGI benchmarks are decoys

After working on this paper for three years, delighted to see it out - we propose a way to defuse the tension between data openness and responsible dat management, by pushing the FINDABILITY of data and the opportunities for connections among data users #philsci #openscience
