Earlier this year, Alicja Kwade had a magnificent solo-exhibition in museum M Leuven. In the catalogue, I compare her sculptures with scientific models: "In the sway of a simple model; A philosophical reflection on Alicja Kwade’s pendulum".

1/3 What if the tiny vibrations of a single microtubule could generate an electric field strong enough to whisper signals 5 µm across the cytoplasm, effectively acting as a nanoscale antenna? #academicsky #microtubules #philsci

We're back with more Conversations at the Center! We begin season 3 of our podcast with a discussion on Perception and Understanding with Visiting Fellow Alfredo Vernazzani.

Available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. #philsci

1/3 What if tiny vibrations of a single microtubule could spark electric fields strong enough to whisper signals across a cell? #academicsky #biophysics #philsci

3/3 This doesn't say weak fields can't act—it says extraordinary claims need a quantitative bar. What would convince you that a tiny EM signal matters in a warm, noisy cell? #academicsky #philsci

So, last Wednesday I gave my PhD completion seminar, getting so close now! Thanks to all for the support over the years xx

1/3 What if a cloud of atoms could sniff magnetic fields with precision beyond the quantum‑noise limit—without fragile entanglement? This could reshape bio‑magnetic sensing. #academicsky #philsci

(2) from musician Marie Højlund, speaking on soundscapes and emotional agency in hospitals at #SymPCa2026 - where I went to discuss *symptoms* with a fun group of medics, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists and philosophers (incl @laukas.bsky.social )

I believe there's an intersection of #Neurodivergence, #ChronicIllness, and #SystemicNeglect I call #CognitivelyDeferredPain

When you have the cognitive bandwidth to not experience pain directly, but it still takes a tremendous toll on that bandwidth

Collins and Thorne's "Large language models and scientific discourse: Where’s the intelligence?" is worthwhile. Standards re good vs. fringe science may arise in verbal discussion at labs, conferences-not in training data. So LLMs don't know the difference. link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci

Next Friday, the 67th Annual Lecture Series will begin with the Grünbaum Memorial Lecture delivered by Stephan Hartmann.

This talk will be streamed on Zoom and YouTube. Visit our website for more information. #philsci

🔍 Behind the Paper: 'Even Solo-Authored Papers Aren’t Really Solo.' Dean Hall reflects on the ideas behind The Precautionary Principle of Dignity, exploring human-AI collaboration, ethics, and the relational nature of scholarship.

#philsky #philsci Will Hesperance finally face her innate fear consciously, so it can be transformed from a paralyzing force into a motivator for growth and creativity in the pursuit of more mani-pedi dates to Happy Clawz with Ferdinand?

Read Walts essay to find out!

Walts got a new potentially spookeh paper out #philsky #philsci You need to read it. #science

1/3 What if a quantum particle bouncing inside a box could keep its wave packet intact — no spreading, no decoherence? New math builds such 'coherent states' for quantum billiards. Could confined biology do the same? #academicsky #quantumphysics #philsci

Silvia De Toffoli and I wrote a guest article for Terence Tao's blog in response to the recent AI Navier-Stokes result. We argue that the 'AI has "solved" mathematics' idea rests on two assumptions, both seductive & plausible, but both wrong. #philsci #AI #math terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/12/a...
