Organismal agency is one of today's liveliest debates in the life sciences. Our volume—published a year ago—brings historians, philosophers & scientists into the conversation, offering the kind of nuanced treatment this complex issue deserves 👇 www.routledge.com/The-Riddle-o... #HPS #evosky #philsky

🤗A big thanks to @alejandrofabregastejeda.com for giving helpful advices on "How to network (at conferences)?" at the @epsaphilsci.bsky.social Junior Scholar series. It was great how you reminded all of us that conferences are about real human connections and not only career! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Okay, my philosophy of biology peeps! Is there any good literature comparing Western and non-Western views on the "essence" of species - what makes an organism the kind of thing it is (if kinds exist!) - where that comes from, how it could be encoded or transmitted...?

Job: Full professor in Science & Technology Studies at the University of Vienna. Deadline for applications is 17th September 2025. Contact Max Fochler or Sarah Davies (head and deputy head of the department) with enquiries about the role. #STS #HPS berufungsservice.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/us...

Women in academia are constantly asked to take on more “invisible” work—advising, service, teaching. This isn't about working harder. It's about working differently and how institutions value that (care?) work. We need structural change, not just personal boundaries. #AcademicChores #GenderEquity

☝️Last Reminder: Tomorrow will be the session on "How to network at conferences?" of the @epsaphilsci.bsky.social junior scholar online series. We are happy to welcome @alejandrofabregastejeda.com for this session. You can register here: tinyurl.com/2s3kvbfj . More Info here: tinyurl.com/2ucdvhuj 📖

Thanks to @elenapopaphi.bsky.social and @saulperez for giving another inspiring talk at the @epsaphilsci.bsky.social junior scholar series about opportunities for post-doc careers!🎓
