If you had to teach just one philosophy of biology class to general philosophy students, what would you focus on? What reading would you assign? #philsci #philbio #hps #philsky
You can join us tomorrow at 15:30 CET for our reading group!
We will be reading “The Allure of Microbiome Research: Promises of Holism and the Potential for Cruel Optimism,” by Tine Fiis, Louise Whiteley, and Adam Bencard. Join the meeting here: teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-joi... #philbio #histbio
Final reminder 📢 We are looking for a #philbio or #philphysics postdoc for an interdisciplinary project exploring the boundary between living and nonliving systems through the lens of self-organization & active matter 👇 www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jo... #philjobs #philsky #HPS #devbio Please share!
For a discussion of character individuation problems & how these are blatantly instantiated in paleoanthropological debates over the human #chin, have a peek at Grant Ramsey, James DiFrisco, & my article in JEZ-B 💀 #philbio #philsky #humanevo #evosky
