Excited to have this new paper out, a qualitative study with Sachika Singh and Dani Clark on Patient and Family Perspectives for Trauma-Informed Ethics Consultation.

We piloted a case-based focus group methodology, inviting participants to reflect on two clinical ethics consultation situations. 🧵

Audiobook now available for this introductory philosophy collection. I coauthored a chapter with Dana Tulodziecki @193.bsky.social. Overall it seems like a really interesting approach to introducing philosophical topics.#philsky

Hello all! The PSA DEI Caucus is coming to BlueSky! Hoping to share news about our wonderful membership and our @philsci.bsky.social community at large! Doggo Pic for attention. #philosophy #hps #dei

Thanks Anna! My talk partly drew from Ch 2 of my Science and the Public Element, where I introduce the Vienna Circle as a different model of how philosophy can engage with science and also the public, supplemented with material I've used in teaching. Happy to share the slides if you are interested.

Listening to the first panel on history of #philsci in CEE. Inspiring that so many colleagues around the world tuned in. A wonderful first talk by Marta Sznajder on Janina Hosiasson (her heartbreaking story below). Now Angela Potochnik on the role of Marie Neurath (Reidemeister) in the Vienna Circle

Good question! This collection is new, so I hadn't gotten around to looking into preprint sharing permissions and making a preprint available if allowed. I'll figure that out now and share (assuming possible)!

Check out this video about the chapter Dana Tulodziecki @193.bsky.social and I wrote for the philosophy book, Too Weird to Believe, Too Plausible to Deny. It's a neat collection, congrats to the editor, Cliff Sosis!

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

"...The scientific world-conception serves life, and life receives it." Good ol' Vienna Circle.

"...We witness the spirit of the scientific world-conception penetrating in growing measure the forms of personal and public life, in education, upbringing, architecture, and the shaping of economic and social life according to rational principles..."

"Thus, the scientific world-conception is close to the present. Certainly it is threatened with hard struggles and hostility. Nevertheless there are many who do not despair but, in view of the present sociological situation, look forward with hope to the course of events to come..."

Yay more PSA for me!

Dear all,

Helen passed away at 13:21 local time. Helen would not have wanted us to be sad for a long time. All they wanted was to be remembered. They looked forward to being rid of pain and to being at rest. Helen took great comfort in you, their friends and readers.

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Collin's dissertation explores the nature of maker's knowledge and, accordingly, how engineering is central to science's cumulative progress. I think the project is truly innovative and important.

Congratulations to Collin Lucken for successfully defending his dissertation, Engineering Progress in Science! Thanks to Adrian Currie @adrian-currie.bsky.social, the large face looming on the wall, for tremendously helpful involvement as external committee member. @ucphilosophy.bsky.social #philsci

Great job on the dissertation and defense, Mel! We look forward to seeing where your work goes from here. Our committee photo is unfortunately missing Colin Allen, who was an excellent external committee member.
