1/3 Kinesin walks microtubules in 8-nanometer steps, burning ATP. A new theory asks: how much of that energy becomes motion — and how much becomes information? The motor spends part of its budget suppressing its own fluctuations. #academicsky #biophysics #philsci

Max Dresow has done wonderful stuff with Extinct! His problematica series has been unfailingly fascinating, historically-informed and brilliantly written #philsci

1/3 Zap a living cell with a brief electric pulse and two things happen: its membrane opens, and it starts making reactive oxygen species. That second part wasn't in the original plan. Would you call that damage — or signalling? #academicsky #biophysics #philsci

The Mismeasure of Pain
– Laurenz Casser

Abstract in alt text or read it here:
www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

#philsci #philsky

ABSTRACT. A persistent claim in the history of modern medicine is that humans differ in their pain sensitivity. While opinions about which groups hurt more have varied over time, emphasis has always been on the sensitivity of people of colour, women and other significant groups. I argue that claims about biosocial differences in sensitivity are not supported by compelling evidence. Specifically, I argue that evidence for systematic differences in prominent measures of sensitivity has been spurious, and even if it was not, such differences still wouldn’t imply a gap in pain sensitivity. This is because the experimental results are equally well explained in terms of differences in response biases—something common measurement methods typically do not (and perhaps could not) control for. While the arguments presented here do not rule out variations, they cast serious doubt on the search for differences in pain sensitivity at the level of race and gender.

1/3 Your cells have an electrical fingerprint. Put a cell between two electrodes and its dielectric response — how it stores and loses electric charge — shifts with its health. No dyes, no labels, just microwaves. Would you trust that as a readout? #academicsky #biophysics #philsci

Model-Based Robustness Analysis as Constraint-Checking
– Johannes Nyström

Abstract in alt text or read it here:
www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

#philsci #philsky

ABSTRACT. Model-based robustness analysis assesses whether an ensemble of scientific models converges on an outcome, to support confidence in that outcome. While commonplace in many model-based sciences, the viability of the strategy is contested. In this article, I advance the debate in two steps. I first argue that Schupbach's influential account, based on explanatory elimination, is limited in its ability to support strong confirmation. I then develop a novel account according to which robustness provides confirmation through assessments of the strength of underlying scientific constraints on model building. I also formally analyse the proposed epistemic mechanism in a Bayesian framework. The results show that it can generate both confirmation and disconfirmation under plausible conditions, and reveal what determines its significance. The account therefore provides a general framework for understanding the epistemic significance of robustness analysis in scientific modelling.
