Feminist work is often marginalised in academia - but not always. Today I'm giving a talk about how feminist philosophy of science has become mainstreamed, and what's been left behind in the process. Today I'm giving a talk about this the 25th anniversary of @uibgender.bsky.social.

Is citizen science good science? (surprise! yes it is!) I'll be walking through some of ways mistakes and biases affect #citizenscience and why it's not bad after all. All using resources from #philsci.

Today in the reading group I run with @nathanaelsheehan.bsky.social, we discussed how undersea internet cables track and replicate colonialism, based on this paper: Mwema & Birhane, A. (2024). First Monday, 29(4). doi.org/10.5210/fm.v...

Sandra Harding's work was some of the first I read in philosophy of science. She opened up a world for me, and I'm sure she'll continue to do so for generations to come.

New #PHIL_OS paper out! From @rosetrappes.bsky.social and me, an analysis of what insights biological niche concepts (and philosophy thereof) can inspire towards understanding research environments doi.org/10.1007/s131... #philsci

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/

Don't forget to submit your abstract for the European Philosophy of Science Association Conference #EPSA25. The CfP is closing this Friday, 31st Jan. philsci.eu/EPSA25/CfP
