This is why respecting another country’s fossil legislation requires accepting that another society may have a fundamentally different understanding of what heritage is, whom it belongs to, and what kinds of things should remain outside private appropriation.

Thank you for your awesome work on CARE data principles, which my PhD student @leticiacastillo.bsky.social & I have cited in this handbook chapter on philosophical issues in data ⤵️ www.taylorfrancis.com/reader/downl... ⚒️ #philsci

For anyone attending #AGU2024, consider coming to our town hall on Wednesday the 11th 12:30-1:30 where we will be presenting about “A Community Effort: Publishing Guidelines for Indigenous Data Sovereignty and the CARE Principles.”

I've worked on many of the topics in this volume, but the one invited to write is "Models, Data Models, & Big Data", which was co-authored with my fabulous PhD student Leticia Castillo Brache @leticiacastillo.bsky.social #philsci #metasci 🧪

This chapter discusses the complex and subtle relations between models and data in the production of data models. It highlights key data processing techniques, such as data correction and data conversion, which illustrate what is known as model–data symbiosis. Projects related to data rescue and other model–data practices, such as the reuse and repurposing of data, are examined. Some of the philosophical issues concerning big data are reviewed. The chapter concludes by examining current challenges in data ethics, including the risks associated with open data movements, privacy, and what is known as “dirty data.”

I am so proud of awesome projects the grads in our Phi-Geo group have been working on: @leticiacastillo.bsky.social "Parachute Science in Paleontology as Distributive Epistemic Injustice" on Brazilian dino fossil Irritator challengeri & shows how parachute harms are distributive epistemic injustice

Fascinating read in AGU EOS about scientific colonialism and the specific case of the fossil, Irritator challengeri 🧪 🦕 ⚒️ Again, I’m buoyed by the energy and bravery of the scientists taking on this fight, many of whom are early career and/or from the global south. eos.org/articles/ill...

Illegal Fossil Export Is More Than an Irritator to the Global South - Eos

More than 2,000 researchers have signed an open letter requesting the repatriation of a dinosaur fossil to Brazil. Some say the case highlights a pattern of scientific colonialism in paleontology.
