Soooooooo delighted with Paola Castaño winning Interdisciplinary Session Prize & @elisj.bsky.social winning Callebaut Prize at @ishpssb2025.bsky.social!! Esp given the huge role that Werner Callebaut played in my own journey as a philosopher of biology. So well-deserved for both

Cheers Nathan, I could not agree more, though it depends what data - some stuff isn’t worth keeping and we can’t keep everything, but having so little sense of the complexity of caring for legacy data is worrying

Need to update your data? Follow these five tips Researchers engaged in long-term projects often need to update their data sets over time. Here’s how to do it while maintaining reproducibility.

Great to see @nature.com exploring practical ways to keep data up to date, including some of my own philosophically inspired tips (and trademark pessimism 😅) : www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪 #philsci

Thanks so much Warren! It was so nice to chat with a trusted colleague and fellow traveler

Thank you Bart (+ @nicolecnelson.bsky.social, @warrenpearce.bsky.social, @fidlerfm.bsky.social) for all the thoughtful discussions of what #metascience2025 ought to be! Such reflexivity & attention to #STS & #HPS are crucial as this community matures & positions itself intellectually & politically

So excited about this too, thanks Matt for your wonderful introduction, and to the other brilliant scholars who helped us introduce & highlight the field-changing scholarship of the incomparable James Griesemer, a true inspiration hopefully to even more people through this book! #philsci

@sabinaleonelli.bsky.social about the lure of convenience of AI, the risk of AI for AI's sake, and the underestimated cost of validation and maintenance. #metascience25

You are too kind Warren, and back at you!

Thanks so much Ramon, I am so sorry we did not get to talk afterwards - you are totally right, it was a matter of time as I could not cover that too while trying to get this message across. Hope to catch up with you soon elsewhere, we are still in teaching term so I need to rush back to Munich 😩

Thanks so much Shannon, it’s the starter before your talk as the main course tomorrow! Fab to be here and curious to hear reactions from this community

#OpenScience lobbyists, skeptics and everything in between: consider coming to Munich in May 2026 (gorgeous time to visit..) to discuss the future of Open Research!

Spearheaded by Marcel Boumans, here’s a first outcome from a workshop on Misinformation that we co-organised 2 years ago w Vincent Traag at the Lorenz Institute in Leiden: what does it mean to “counter disinformation when there are no bare facts?” #philsci royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
