I wrote about my journey to #PhilSci on East European Network for Philosophy of Science blog (see the link below). I also talked a bit on its start in 2015. Thanks very much to @annaalexandrova.bsky.social @elenapopaphi.bsky.social and @gabrieltarziu.bsky.social for inviting me to write!

We have a new post on the EENPS blog! This time, Özlem Yılmaz Silverman @ozlemyilmazs.bsky.social shares her research journey, reflects on her work, and tells the story of how she became a philosopher of science 🔥 Read it here: eenps.weebly.com/blog

Looking forward to the "Ignorance, Opacity, and Dependence" workshop taking place next week in Prague. I’ll be presenting my joint work with Mathias Frisch on how machine‑learning models can contribute to understanding in climate science. Event details: sites.google.com/view/ignoran...

Workshop 2026

This workshop aims to explore how AI reshapes the scientists' epistemic environment. What kinds of ignorance does AI mitigate, and what new forms does it generate? How should we conceptualize epistemi...

We conceived this series to put into words the experience of #philsci researchers from Eastern n Central Europe. There are 2 entries from @boruttrpin.bsky.social and @danielkostic.bsky.social Thanks to both! These are stories of success and resilience, but read about the darker sides too and learn.

LMU Munich Climate School returns 6-11 Oct 2025. Open to students from all disciplines, it features lectures, workshops & a COP simulation. My lecture is on Philosophy of Climate Change: Trust in Science & Climate Change Denial. Please share with students who may be interested. #ClimateChange #LMU

Semester's begun! Proud to hear that more than half of the physics students who enrolled in our interdisciplinary master's course on climate change (which I'm co-teaching with two climate scientists at LMU) are very curious about the philosophical aspects! Pressure’s on 😬 to help that interest grow.

Excited to see a sneak peek of the upcoming Ri program on May 12th: "Decoding Our Planet: The Making of Geophysics" on the origins of modern geophysics, the science investigating everything from gravity & magnetism to earthquakes, climate change, & plate tectonics. More coming soon... #HPS ⚒️

Ri
The Royal Institution
Science Lives Here
Decoding Our Planet: The Making of Geophysics
How did we come to understand the origin and basic physical processes of our planet?
Answering this question requires us to understand the origins of modern geophysics, the science investigating everything from gravity and magnetism to earthquakes, climate change, and plate tectonics. The best place to answer this question is at the Royal Institution, where most major geophysicists discoursed, debated, and corresponded. In this workshop, we bring together leading scholars from history of science, and geophysics, and philosophy of science to explore how modern geophysics took shape in the nineteenth and twentieth century.
All talks are in the Conversation Room (see attached floorplan) unless otherwise specified.
Talks are 25 minutes and 10 minutes Q&A
Lightning talks are 5 minutes, with a group 10 minute Q&A
