I hope philosophers of science will chime in on the Prize Committee's discussion about kinds of knowledge, and its dissemination, as drivers of innovation and competition: www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2025... #PhilSci #NobelPrize

Our team member Edoardo Peruzzi organizes a workshop together with @karimbaraghith.bsky.social:

"Scientific Progress via Model Transfer? The Case of Cultural Evolution"

📍 Leibniz Universität Hannover
📅 April 9–10, 2026

Below you’ll find more information about the workshop and the CfP 👇

Our two-day online workshop has wrapped up. Huge thanks to everyone who joined and contributed to the lively discussions!

These discussions tackled some core challenges for those using computational methods in the history & philosophy of economics 👇

🔥 Our workshop on computational methods in history and philosophy of economics just started! Two days of great talks and interesting discussions ahead!

The Leibniz Center for Science and Society (LCSS) at @unihannover.bsky.social invites international researchers in science studies & higher educ research to apply for the fellowship program “Disruptions in Science and Society” (research stays: 1–18 months).

🔥 We have a great #ERC_Research workshop this week on Computational Methods in History and Philosophy of Economics organized by Murat Bakeev. Our team gives presentations on how to study #ModelTransfers with network analysis, simulations, & knowledge graphs (co-authored w Simon Walo & Malte Doehne).

Just came out of two hours of teaching early humans and primates to hear that Jane Goodall has sadly died. The legacy and impact of this human is beyond measure. She brought us closer to each other, closer to primates and face to face with our evolutionary inheritance.

I had a rich and wide-ranging conversation w/ Professor Philip Kitcher for the podcast this week.

We discuss his intellectual journey, interventions in creationism, sociobiology & the genome project, his philosophical evolution, and vision for philosophy serving the common good. A real privilege.

We were delighted to share our research at the #ModelTransfer Symposium at the #INEM conference! Huge thanks to @unibayreuth.bsky.social and the organizers for hosting such a stimulating event that brings together so many in the philosophy of economics community.

🔥 Watch out for the launch of this great book (Sept 29) on Methods in the Philosophy of Science (btw. it also contains a hands-on intro on using emp network analysis in Philosophy of Science by M. Doehne and myself).

The researchers profiled in this Science piece are doing amazing work improving understanding of the causes of endometriosis and possible diagnostic tests that are less invasive than surgery. An excellent example of how feminist science can produce work that is more open to various explanations,

A privilege to co-author with the brilliant @alessandrabasso.bsky.social whose mastery of economics of inequality and its philosophy is unparalleled. Our general point: indicators always have more than one ideal to serve, so will have to prioritise and hence sacrifice #philsci #econsky #measurement

#Outnow: in unserer aktuellen #Podcast-Folge der #NachwuchsFragen sprechen wir mit Prof. Dr. Catherine Herfeld (@cherfeld.bsky.social) über ihren Weg in die #Professur & die Einwerbung eines #ERC-Grants. Jetzt #reinhören 🎧 www.graduiertenakademie.uni-hannover.de/de/postdoc/p... 🧵
