@gregpriest.bsky.socialIndeed, years before Genealogy of Morals, Darwin had argued that our moral principles had evolved from social instincts.
I wrote about that here (paywall): https://muse.jhu.edu/article/676147/pdf

@embiophysics.bsky.social1/4 Every time a cell fires, it leaves a faint electromagnetic shadow around itself. The question haunting biophysics since the 1970s: is that shadow just exhaust — or is it a message? #academicsky #biophysics #philsci
@clpskuleuven.bsky.socialIn our next CLPS seminar, Luna De Souter will discuss how to algorithmically identify causal structures and how to bring techniques from #ML & mathematical optimization into regularity-theoretic approaches to causal discovery. Join us!
@theramseylab.bsky.socialGreat episode on animal tool use by @auersperga.bsky.social!
This is a topic we care deeply about. In a recent 📄, we propose a taxonomy of different forms of tool use, and discuss how the ‘tooling’ framework fits with traditional accounts: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
@embiophysics.bsky.social1/3 A crawling cell has no leader — yet its whole front can swing one way at once. New theory models the cell's edge as a ring of tiny 'spins,' each one either pushing outward or resting, that align like atoms in a magnet. #academicsky #biophysics #philsci

@msuarez.bsky.social@msuarez.bsky.socialVery proud to announce that my ancient manuscript on Henry Margenau is finally appearing in The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: royalsocietypublishing.org/rsta
A preprint is already up at @philsci-archive.bsky.social
@embiophysics.bsky.social1/3 A photon hits a molecule, and two electrons spin apart into a shared quantum state. For microseconds, that spin pair stays coherent — at room temperature, in ordinary solvent. Its fate depends on the magnetic field around it. #academicsky #quantumbio #philsci
@alejandrofabregastejeda.comCalling #ALife researchers & philosophers🚨
There’s still a little over a week left to submit your abstract for the interdisciplinary minisymposium we’re organizing in December. Please help us spread the word & reach anyone who might be interested!
@embiophysics.bsky.social1/3 Your cells may already be whispering — in microtubule vibrations, electric fields, faint light. But how many distinct 'words' can each channel carry before noise erases them? #academicsky #biophysics #philsci
@center4philsci.bsky.socialJoin us as we sit down with visiting fellow Caterina Sisti to learn more about her work here at the Center! #philsci
