Issue 1 of Volume 57 of @jgps.bsky.social has just come out - with papers on Carnap, Fleck, pluralism, spacetime, thermal physics, molecular biology, and more.

The workshop continues with a talk by @thomasreydon.bsky.social discussing the challenges of explanatory unification across the biological and social sciences based on evolutionary models

Pro tip: regardless of the field you want to major in or do graduate work in, favor universities with good humanities and arts. I can give you the long explanation, but you can think of them as hard to fake signals of many things that are important in unis that are hard to evaluate from the outside.

Now out: Cultural evolution and Social Ontology: Interdisciplinary Perspectives (Routledge), edited by Martina Valković and me. Available (with discount code below) at: www.routledge.com/Cultural-Evo...

Check out my new paper on the explanatory strenght of network models used in evolutionary sciences. Here is the link: rdcu.be/e7ZWj

Alfred Russel Wallace FRS was born #OnThisDay in 1823. He independently conceived of the theory of evolution by natural selection and his work prompted Darwin to publish 'On the Origin of Species'. Wallace laid the foundations of modern biogeography.

I'm so glad that #ISHPSSB is such a wonderfully diverse and inclusive community. Lots of "atypical" scholars in the mix, including myself! I'll be part of a panel on "new biology" and education this afternoon, speaking as one of the last speakers of the final sessions of the conference.

#ISHPSSB2025 has been an absolute blast! Here we celebrate the work and mentorship of Marc Ereshefsky, a truly positive model for philosophy of biology! Thank you all for coming along! Cheers to Marc! #philsky #HPbio #philsci

Today marks a special anniversary for us. On July 1, 1858, the theory of evolution by natural selection was first presented at a Linnean Society meeting. Papers written by Charles Darwin & Alfred Russel Wallace were read, shaping a groundbreaking idea still powering science today: buff.ly/uBdX7N1
