#ISHPSSB2025

Pollinator Pathmaker Design and plant gardens for endangered bees, butterflies and other pollinators using the algorithmic tool - an artwork by Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg.

Amazing session this afternoon at #ISHPSSB2025 about "Reimagining gardens"! 🌷🌳 Go check out the project pollinator.art by Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg - it's really cool!

Got amazing feedback after my talk at #ISHPSSB2025 . Thanks for everyone attending the session on Epistemic Injustice and my talk on endometriosis and ignorance.

For more: Feel free to write me a mail!

This isn’t just accidental. It’s part of a long history of epistemic injustice and ignorance, where certain groups’ knowledge, body and experience are systematically devalued. We’re digging into that tomorrow through the lens of endometriosis, reproductive bias, and the politics of ignorance.

Men are often failed by health systems because of toxic masculinity — they’re discouraged from seeking help. But women are failed when they do seek help. Being “in the system” doesn’t help if the system doesn’t listen or lacks the science because women’s bodies haven’t been taken seriously.

Important questions — thank you for asking! Yes, women often live longer, but living longer doesn’t mean living better. The phrase “women live sicker” captures the brutal truth: women’s health concerns are dismissed, misdiagnosed, and under-researched for decades.

That is a great questions and points to issue related to feminism and toxic masculinity. The quick answer is that men die quicker and women live sicker. Women experience more neglect in the health care systems, men do not go. Social, biological, behavioral factors intersect in complex ways.

We're ready for #ISHPSSB2025!

That was such an interesting session and talk! It got me thinking about evidential standards in different sciences 🤔

Great talks from other scholars in this session too — come join us!

🤗A big thanks to @alejandrofabregastejeda.com for giving helpful advices on "How to network (at conferences)?" at the @epsaphilsci.bsky.social Junior Scholar series.
It was great how you reminded all of us that conferences are about real human connections and not only career! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Okay, my philosophy of biology peeps! Is there any good literature comparing Western and non-Western views on the "essence" of species - what makes an organism the kind of thing it is (if kinds exist!) - where that comes from, how it could be encoded or transmitted...?

Job: Full professor in Science & Technology Studies at the University of Vienna. Deadline for applications is 17th September 2025. Contact Max Fochler or Sarah Davies (head and deputy head of the department) with enquiries about the role. #STS #HPS

Women in academia are constantly asked to take on more “invisible” work—advising, service, teaching. This isn't about working harder. It's about working differently and how institutions value that (care?) work.
We need structural change, not just personal boundaries. #AcademicChores #GenderEquity

☝️Last Reminder: Tomorrow will be the session on "How to network at conferences?" of the @epsaphilsci.bsky.social junior scholar online series.
