Our history department is building on its strengths in history of science & technology. Pass it on to anyone who might be interested.

(Just downstairs you also have a philosophy department that likes science and technology, too.)

I’d be grateful for the missing nerdy details. There have been surprising RCV results in the past: Peltola’s win was not guaranteed after the first round even though she was clearly ahead, by assuming that R voters would always prefer a R candidate over a D. This was not true: clear Peltola win.

Right. So, Cuomo conceding doesn’t mean much, does it? It doesn’t mean that Mamdani has won yet nor does it guarantee that Cuomo has in fact lost. That’s why I don’t understand the assertion of a win.

Is that how it works with RCV? Do we have information on ranking preferences beyond choice #1?

Why did you write that the mayoral primary was won? Can’t we count the votes and go over as many rounds as necessary until someone reaches 50%? At least clarify that it’s a projection based on estimates of ranking choices.

Open Letter in Support of Science — STAND UP FOR SCIENCE

An open letter highlighting the co-optation of open science language in the latest Executive Order to justify policies that are, in fact, antithetical to open science principles.

Why bad philosophy is stopping progress in physics Theoretical physicists are in thrall to a misguided mindset that allows viable ideas to be advanced only by overturning what already exists.

There is a healthy sense of crisis in fundamental theoretical physics

Attention metascience & AI enthusiasts: SSHRC is offering $140K/2yr postdoc fellowships, and I'd be happy to sponsor someone to work in my lab at UofT. If you're interested in how AI might transform scientific practice (for better or worse), apply by April 8. Let's question everything together.

Hey folks- I’ll be doing the next one of these, if your grad students want to chat Philsci, game theory, evolutionary or agent based modeling, misinformation please share

Trump 2.0: an assault on science anywhere is an assault on science everywhere US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks.

Inexplicably, US administration has launched an unprecedented assault on science, on research institutions & on vital international organizations & initiatives.

An assault on science anywhere is an assault on science everywhere; the global community must unite
