We conceived this series to put into words the experience of #philsci researchers from Eastern n Central Europe. There are 2 entries from @boruttrpin.bsky.social and @danielkostic.bsky.social Thanks to both! These are stories of success and resilience, but read about the darker sides too and learn.

New #philsci #philsky paper on #ML and #scientificmodelling! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

We’re working on that! Possibly with the same teleprompter too
Forget the winter Olympics, we’ve got @sabinaleonelli.bsky.social in Milano (not in Cortina)!

Digital health technologies like wearables promise more and better evidence and the next generation of evidence-based medicine. But can they really fix its limitations?
Not quite: we suggest they often reproduce—and sometimes intensify— trade-offs on e.g. validity and representativity.
New paper, the first of 2026, and it's a big one!
