Check out amazing work by my friend @93pedrobravo.bsky.social working on such a socially relevant topic in #philsci Parabéns querido!

Looking forward to the Pragmatism and Measurement conference this coming weekend at the University of Pittsburgh, where I will be presenting some of my recent work on the concept of ancestry and how it is measured. #philsci #philbio @center4philsci.bsky.social

The concept of 'downward causation' has faced many strong critiques. In her recent 📄 @yashaddad.bsky.social argues that, when adopting an interventionist view of causation and a levels of organization framework, we can explanatorily use the notion 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #hpbio

Happy to share that the double session on values in genomics I am part of has been accepted for ISHPSSB. Thank you @celsoneto.bsky.social and @yashaddad.bsky.social for organising the session, and I look forward to seeing many fellow scholars of biology in Porto in July!

Views from my latest runs 🤍 que saudade que eu tava do meu Brasil!

@grupoanfibio.bsky.social has created a starter pack of philosophers of science (and #philsci groups & societies) in/from Ibero-America. Please share widely and self-nominate if your name is missing! go.bsky.app/4XmN14i #HPS #philsky #HPBio #LatinskySTEM #LatinoSky

I have a new paper out in @ptpbio.bsky.social 🥳 journals.publishing.umich.edu/ptpbio/artic...

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

Je donne une conférence à l'UQAM aujourd'hui dans le cadre du séminaire Travaux en Cours au département de Philosophie! Giving a talk on some work in progress today at UQAM. I don't often present my work in French, so really looking forward! #Philsci #HPBio #Philbio

#PSA24 was a blast! Thank you DEI Caucus for the symposium award and for making our community more reflective and inclusive.

What a fantastic time at #PSA24 ! And honoured that our symposium won the DEI Caucus Prize @celsoneto.bsky.social Now time to go home after a wonderful conference and great music in New Orleans 🤩 #philsci #philbio @philsci.bsky.social

Looking forward to the PSA @philsci.bsky.social conference in New Orleans in 2 weeks! @celsoneto.bsky.social and I are co-organizing the symposium "Race, Ethnicity, and Ancestry: The Uses and Misuses of Population Descriptors in Genomics". Hope to see many of you there! 🤝 #philsci #philbio #hps

Lucky week over here! 🤩 Just approved the final proofs of two of my papers on causation: – "Demystifying downward causation in biology" is forthcoming in @jgps.bsky.social – "The scope of reciprocal causation" is forthcoming in @ptpbio.bsky.social #philsci #philbio

A great excuse to go to Porto again! Beautiful city and great conference! #philsci #philbio

New chapter on Models and Measurement in the Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Scientific Modeling - and it's open access! #philsci 🧪 www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/oa-...

Congrats to my dear friend and collaborator @celsoneto.bsky.social -- so happy for you and wishing you success in this fantastic project!

Our paper "Transdisciplinary Philosophy of Science: Meeting the Challenge of Indigenous Expertise" is now out in Philosophy of Science. This one is close to my heart both in message and in collaborative format - both with hopefully valuable lessons for philosophy of science. #philsci #philsky #STS

Great summary by @gcbias.bsky.social on some of the issues with ancestry and self-identified ethnicity. I'm curious to see responses to the points being raised and the points raised are very rich for philosophers of science to reflect upon #PhilSci

*Big event alert* April 17-19 2024, Egenis (Exeter Centre for Study of Life Sciences)celebrates its 20 + 2 anniversary with conference “Understanding Life in a Changing Planet”. www.exeter.ac.uk/events/detai... Call for Posters, deadline 15/12, here: philevents.org/event/show/1... do join us!

Trailblazing feminist #histsci #philsci #sts scholar Evelyn Fox Keller (1936-2023) passed away yesterday. Her early books were a tremendous influence on me & so many other women going into field. There was a conference to celebrate her yesterday too💔 ihpst.utoronto.ca/news/full-pr... #womenInSTEM 🧪

I just joined Bluesky Thanks to @alisabokulich.bsky.social for the invite code. Looking forward to interacting with the #PhilSci and #PhilofBio community!
