The 'MetaScience' @ERC_Research project @BristolUni pursues the question of what, if anything, unifies the natural sciences?

Fascinated by the @Nature article “Assembly theory explains and quantifies selection and evolution”, the following debate on @ChemistryWorld, and discussion with @Assembling_Life, I wrote this letter for CW on the philosophy of Assembly theory, now out: chemistryworld.com/opinion/l…

Just made it to Belgium for the last research visit of 2023! Thanks to the #CEFISES for funding my visit and looking forward to:
- working on multiple realisability with Pieter Thyssen 🔍
-my talk on reductionism in biochemistry on Friday (joint work with @LoreLorenzetti) 🧬

Exactly one year since I submitted my PhD thesis - a year full of so many adventures I could have never imagined! And more exciting projects on the philosophy of biochemistry and metaphysics of science in progress and forthcoming 💫
I submitted my PhD thesis while looking at the sunset colouring Athens with gold. I feel a bit like a biochemical kind, as also for me none of this would have been possible without the most wonderful context of people and opportunities around me. Especially, @MetaScienceEU (1/2)

We are currently seeking a new philosophy of science post doc to work with us on the @Assembling_Life project in Oslo. Please share with potential candidates! jobbnorge.no/en/available-jo…

The @Assembling_Life project is up and running! Excited to dive into philosophy of self-assembly and self-organization in living systems. Follow us here for updates on project research and events, and have a look at our website (under development): hf.uio.no/ifikk/english/rese…

Mine arrived too! One for each member of the family with another to spare.
It’s very nice to see the hard copy of our book “Dispositions and Powers”. But you can access the thing for free forever online here: cambridge.org/core/elements/… check it out for an overview of cutting-edge work on the metaphysics of dispositions and powers! @tobytfriend

Had really a great time in Toronto for the @ISHPSSB conference and I am grateful to the association and @MetaScienceEU for funding my travel and attendance. I am travelling back to the UK with many new inputs and ideas 💫 (1/2)

My first talk at @ISHPSSB is this morning during the “Biochemistry: concepts, approaches, problems” session and I will present my work on the metaphysics and classification of biochemical kinds 🧬

So happy to be in one of my favourite cities in the world for the @ISHPSSB 2023 conference! My talk is Tuesday morning and I will be around for the full week so get in touch if you want to get coffee or hang out #ISHPSSB2023

And here is my debut as contributor for @ChemistryWorld, the official magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry. In this article, I suggest that scientific categories are vital for research using the history of vitamins 💫
'New concepts can help to guide scientific research, and even originate entire fields of research,' writes @FranciBellazzi. 'Very simply, introducing new categories invites a search for the underlying mechanisms that realise them.'

Very thrilled to see my second paper on the philosophy and metaphysics of genetics “The Gene as a Natural Kind” now out in the volume Life&Mind. I argue that the molecular gene is a natural kind despite its complexity and context dependency (1/3)

Lots of great talks at the final-ever MetaScience conference! I'll be responding to this paper academic.oup.com/pq/article/… by @tobytfriend which raises some interesting objections to the account of laws of nature I've been developing over the past several years, links below:

The first day’s highlight of the @NoMoS conference: Philip Kitcher delivering the keynote speech titled: theories of scientific explanation—an obituary. In the photo you see the four horsemen of scientific explanation: Hempel, Salmon, Woodward and Kitcher.
