A few years back, I finally jumped ship from Mac Mail to Outlook in the face of continuing institutional pressure and also Mail's increasingly poor search capabilities. Outlook is mostly okay, but why on earth does clicking "reply" to one's own reply in a thread go to oneself?

Wonderful conference, congrats @eugenechua.bsky.social and everyone else who brought this together. #philsky #philsci

U.S. science is once again subject to a basic confusion between the *observation* of how values shape science versus the *improper influence* of values on science. Federal grant agencies have banned research mentioning gender, equity, and many other politicized topics... 1/ #philsci #scicomm 🧪

Awareness of Our Biases Is Essential to Good Science

Six ways to put the public at the heart of science and policy

Trust in elite institutions is on the wane globally. Building public participation into research and government advice can turn the tide.

This is super interesting. I’ll also mention that most (not all!) discussion here focuses on one-directional sci comm by individual scientists at a distance (via internet or text). I’m not convinced that’s the best approach to public engagement with science.

I am glad Trump is backing down but a line was crossed when he explicitly called for a genocide. This is not tolerable, and there is a constitutional remedy. Impeach and remove now.

The history of #science is a catalogue of failure — but also a record of astonishing progress. So why trust science now? Philosophers Angela Potochnik & Dana Tulodziecki ask whether science reveals the nature of reality — or will just keep changing its answers.

Thanks very much to The Royal Institute of Philosophy for awarding me the Nayef Al-Rodhan Book Prize 2025. Thanks as well to the ERC who funded it, Peter Momtchiloff who commissioned it for OUP, all my LSE team members past and present, and everyone who made the book possible!
