I had a rich and wide-ranging conversation w/ Professor Philip Kitcher for the podcast this week.
We discuss his intellectual journey, interventions in creationism, sociobiology & the genome project, his philosophical evolution, and vision for philosophy serving the common good. A real privilege.

An absolute privilege to interview the scientist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy for @hpspodcast.bsky.social
She was so generous & honest in talking about the shifts she had to experience in order to 'see' that men could be expert carers of babies #philsci #hps #fathertime
Delighted to share that PATRIARCHY INC. is published in North America this week with @wwnorton.com

This week, Cristian Larroulet Philipi joins us to talk about measurement in the human sciences: why it can be more philosophically complex than in the physical sciences, and how it raises pressing questions about the role of numbers in psychology, social science, and policy

This interview brought back happy memories of the three years I spent as a post-doc in Rheinberger's department at the MPI for the History of Science (about 20 years ago). Thank you, @tespiteri.bsky.social. Your smart and thoughtful questions turned this into a delightful conversation.

How curious π€ -- I'll see if there's anything we can do on our end. How does the Buzzsprout link work? And what's your preferred platform? I'll try to play around with the links!

It should look like this. If not, that's useful and important information that we will work toward rectifying!

But, beneath that link, there's a Buzzsprout tab β an alternative platform to those others!
