Excited for the Milan Logic & Philosophy of Science Networking Event at Milan Uni, January 15!
Informal meetup: short research talks by folks at all career stages + parallel discussion groups on key topics.
Join if you're around 🧠🔬

In the supporting information we also derive from our equation some interesting models for density-dependence, social effects, and community ecology. #philbio #evobio #philscience
Excellent thread for philosophy of science sources.

You will find us at #BSPS, #ISHPSSB and #EPSA - ready to present all the work of the last year 🦋 #philsky #philbio #philscience (2/2)
Fellow Italian philosophers of science, how do you navigate the clash between #EPSA and #SIFA this summer? Both of them are looking great but also exactly at the same time 😬 #philsky #philscience

Experimental scientists: When replicating an experiment, do you go in with an attitude of
(1) “Oh wow, I sure hope I can get the same exciting results!” 🤩
Or
(2) “Oh yeah?? We’ll just see about THAT!” 🤨

The Argument In its reconstruction of scientific practice, philosophy of science has traditionally placed scientific theories in a central role, and has reduced the problem of mediating between theories and the world to formal considerations. Many appli- cations of scientific theories, however, involve complex mathematical models whose constitutive equations are analytically unsolvable. The study of these applications often consists in developing representations of the underlying physics on acomputer, and using the techniques of computer simulation in order to learn about the behavior of these systems. In many instances, these computer simula- tions are not simple number-crunching techniques. They involve a complex chain of inferences that serve to transform theoretical structures into specific concrete knowledge of physical systems. In this paper I argue that this process of trans- formation has its own epistemology.
