Histories of the Value-Laden Ideals of Science: Philosophical Perspectives
This volume challenges oversimplified accounts of the value-free (VFI) and the value-laden ideals (VLI) in twentieth-century philosophy of science. Rather than a single, unified position, it reveals a...

Here's an article we did for @theconversation.com about our new study looking at #empathy in chimpanzees and bonobos, and why we need to move beyond stereotypes

Our ape cousins show us empathy has deep evolutionary roots – new research
It may be time to move on from species stereotypes.

I am quite excited to share a new preprint on the prospects for a 'metaphilosophy of science'—a second-order inquiry into the concepts, assumptions, aims, and methods that underpin philosophy of science itself. 👇📃 philsci-archive.pitt.edu/26661/ 1/3 #philsci #philsky #HPS #HPbio #metaphilosophy

Forthcoming in @hoposjournal.bsky.social! I discuss the systemic injustice that saw women banned from scientific education in Victorian Britain through the lenses of how artisanal knowledges like weaving and knitting were severed from mathematical knowledge. #philsci

Sometimes I think about how from 1935-1975ish, Bell Labs produced an insane amount of revolutionary science and technology, including 11 Nobel Prizes, the transistor, UNIX, C, the laser, the solar cell, information theory, etc. The secret? Provide scientists with ample, steady, no-strings funding.
