Michael Friedman, Suppes Professor of Philosophy of Science, Stanford University (1947-2025)

I regret to information the Bluesky philosophy community that Michael Friedman, noted philosopher of science and ground-breaking historian of Kant, neo-Kantianism, and logical positivism has died. May his memory be a blessing. #philsci

Sad news. I interacted with Prof. Friedman only twice, but he and his work had a profound effect for which I am forever grateful. An intellectual hero.

Cauvin argues that "Cavaillès and Granger share three interrelated commitments" about mathematics and its history.

The Untold Story of Marie Curie’s Network of Female Scientists Marie Curie is well known for her chemistry achievements but less so for helping other women succeed in science

Marie Curie didn't necessarily aim to hire women in her lab, but she didn't have anything AGAINST women, and so ended up creating a network of more than 45 women trainees who changed (and are still changing) the course of science. By @clarakm.bsky.social with Dava Sobel on her new book 🧪
