I enjoyed speaking to Dr Jahnavi Phalkey about India’s place in the history of modern science, the ways in which that history has been constructed, & how the pursuit of nuclear physics became intertwined with a newly independent nation’s efforts to define its own identity. linktr.ee/thehpspodcast

How do we come to know the hypercomplex object that is the brain? I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr Mazviita Chirimuuta about the history and philosophy of its simplification, its analogy with computers, & the case for theoretical humility in how we study it. Links: linktr.ee/thehpspodcast

Terrific episode! Recommended listen - especially for any neuro or cognitive scientist who hasn’t yet read Chirimuuta’s book (on the topic of what we’re up to and how we’ve been going about it). Also featured is her concept of the Heraclitean brain (always changing), which I find insightful.

Such a pleasure to talk with @tespiteri.bsky.social on the HPS Podcast about Patriarchy Inc. @allenandunwin.bsky.social @wwnortonuk.bsky.social @atlanticbooks.bsky.social

Thomas Spiteri@tespiteri.bsky.social · 11mo ago

I sat down with Prof. Cordelia Fine for an in-depth discussion about her wonderful new book “Patriarchy, Inc.” She critiques two dominant stories of inequality — the “different but equal” view and the “business case for diversity” — and sets out a richer vision of what equality should mean today.

This week, we’re joined by Professor Miriam Solomon to discuss stigma and its impact on psychiatry — how it has shaped diagnoses, DSM revisions, and ideas of what counts as disorder linktr.ee/thehpspodcast #hps #philsci #psych
