I have been on a @hpspodcast.bsky.social binge lately. Short (sometimes too much) and w many refreshing pointers to critical reflections on how we do science, and how science as cultural traditions was established. Some highlights (stuff more directly related to my own reflections): 1/

Another alternative to "scientific consensus"
@mbarany.com suggests "convergent understanding"
My e.g. 'This is our convergent understanding based on decades of research, debate & critical testing, and supported by substantial lines of diverse evidence'
yep, nice suggestion
