This is the state in which waste collectors have left the bins at 14-19 Lichfield Gardens this morning. It has been like that for the past several weeks, after years of (mostly) no issues.
This is not haste. This is passive aggression.
@richmondcouncil.bsky.social Please report to Serco.

I don’t know, but C. P. Snow had a suggestion why, back in 1934 :)
Seriousy: in my field (genomics) very few scientists do philosophy of science. My conjecture is that there is too much to do in genomics itself. It appears to be more common in fields in which progress has slowed down.

Could you provide some instances where any of Einstein's classic papers cited a philosopher or a work of philosophy? (I tried and failed).
Mach was both a philosopher and physicist. Was his actual physics better for it?
From "The Search" (1934) by C.P. Snow (of the "Two Cultures" fame).

The problem with conversation is that there are no objective criteria on what course to take in the end. There aren’t even objective criteria for what’s important.
Heavyweights tried in the past - and gave up. From. R. Crawshay-Williams, “Russell Remembered”:

... notes that Fgf8 is kept silent by near-locus wide Polycomb binding, which spreads into your insertion region. It might be that Fgf8's Polycomb spreads across the MusD element, preventing DNA methylation and H3K9me3 deposition. So it is silent as long as Fgf8 is, and...
