Yeah but then Collins (I suppose) would just reply that, if you look at how disputes about eg experimenter regress situations are resolved is no different between orthodox and heterodox sciences, so descriptively there's no basis for distinguishing them: people act the same way in both cases

I don't see why Collins would not count as philosopher of science, given his use of, and responses to, Wittgenstein, Kuhn, etc.

There's the work of Harry Collins on experimenters' regress problems, where he relied on historical studies of both gravitational waves and parapsychology to showcase how the regress was overcome in all cases in the same way

Very cool, great job Tullio!

We have a similar approach, with max 4 master students per supervisor (+ max 4 bachelors). If they don't come to the meetings or don't do the work, they can still submit, but then the supervisor communicates beforehand to the other assessors that they can't vouch for the work.

Racistische pseudowetenschap hoort niet thuis aan de universiteit Vakgroepleden distantiëren zich van haar associatie met racistische pseudowetenschap en eugenetica.

Samen met enkele collega's schreef ik een stuk in Apache waarin we ons distantiëren van de associate van onze vakgroep met racistische pseudowetenschap en eugenetica.

Very eager to see this into print, with a chapter by @masssimons.bsky.social and me on the history of philosophy of experimentation. Immense respect for the work by Adam and Flavia on this huge book
