It is widely held that fitness is affected by population size, 'n.' But Grant Ramsey shows, in a new #openaccess paper in @jrnlofphil.bsky.social, that this familiar claim rests on both mathematical and conceptual mistakes.🔥

I'm finally reading Denis Walsh's "Organisms, agency, and evolution" (2015) and some footnotes are just hilarious! 😆
#HPBio #PhilSci #PhDSky

Screenshot from one of the pages of the book. In the main text, it says "Cilia are an adaptive response only to the way that paramecia experience the viscosity of the water, and a caudal peduncle is a response only to the way that a porpoise experiences it. A caudal peduncle on a paramecium would be about as adaptive as cilia on a porpoise." The corresponding footnote reads "I chose an example that sounds cilia on porpoise.". I laughed out loud on the train when reading this :D

The Identity of Stem Cell Kinds
– Guglielmo Militello, Louis Paré, Eve Gazave & Lucie Laplane

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

#philsci #philsky #hpbio

ABSTRACT. Although they share a same function and definition, there is a wide diversity across stem cells, reflected by the fact that stem cells are categorized into various types and subtypes. This diversity among stem cells raises a key philosophical question: do stem cells belong to a natural kind? Claims and arguments made by biologists and philosophers, far from converging toward a consensual response, highlight the need for more (interdisciplinary) investigation to advance this question. In response to this challenge, we explore the hypothesis that a phylogenetic approach may offer a productive framework for addressing these conceptual tensions. After describing the strengths and limitations of such a strategy, we discuss how it can advance fields like regenerative medicine and cancer therapies by clarifying stem cell diversity and improving therapeutic strategies.

Some exciting stuff happening in Oxford this term 👀

AI and death and dying | understanding cancer | prosthetics, the human and the monstrous - all relevant for #philmed #philsci #hpbio folks
(I may be biased for the prosthetics workshop 🦾🦿🫀🦴)

@localmicrobes.bsky.socialSep 28, 2026, 11:25 AM

After a workshop in March in Milan, we are meeting next week in the woods of Leusden (ISVW) to continue our discussion of the epistemic and ethical challenges in microbiome and exposome research!
Thanks to the Descartes Centre's Seed Money, this collaborative work can thrive!

“People tend to think about biology in terms of on & off...But her work showed that altho 2 identical cells might have same levels of a protein in single snapshot, that measurement doesn’t show whether protein is rising or falling—& the timing & rhythm of those patterns matter more"

New semester, new reading group content! We've decided to follow the stream of process philosophy and read "Everyone flows" by John Dupré in this semester. And, as the book is not that long, we will actually read the whole thing 🤩
Looking forward to stimulating discussions! 🤓
#PhDSky #PhilSci #HPBio

Poster for this semester's reading group. We will read John Dupré's "Everyone flows: A process philosophy of human life" (2025). The reading group meets every first Wednesday of the month at 16:00 CET in room NDEF04/346 at Ruhr University Bochum as well as online via Zoom. If you're interested just join our moodle group at: https://moodle.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/enrol/index.php?id=47287, password: theory. Or just write me an e-mail: vera.straetmanns[at]rub.de

Great book review and comparison by @ozlemyilmazs.bsky.social ! And very valid point to highlight plants and pant science more when it comes to issues of biological individuality and the organism concept! 🌱 #hps #hpbio #philsci

Logo of The Ramsey Philosophy of Biology Lab. The main visual element on the page is a large, black-and-white woodcut illustration of a rhinoceros by Albrecht Dürer. The rhino has armor-like plates with ornate patterns, textured skin, and a small second horn on its back. It stands in profile facing right, drawn in a stylized, almost fantastical manner typical of early European depictions of exotic animals.
