This week on the podcast, Peter Galison joins Sophie Ritson to discuss what it took to make the first image of the black hole — and what it means to say we saw it.
@tespiteri.bsky.socialReposted by @tespiteri.bsky.socialI enjoyed speaking to Dr Jahnavi Phalkey about India’s place in the history of modern science, the ways in which that history has been constructed, & how the pursuit of nuclear physics became intertwined with a newly independent nation’s efforts to define its own identity.

@tespiteri.bsky.socialHow do we come to know the hypercomplex object that is the brain? I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr Mazviita Chirimuuta about the history and philosophy of its simplification, its analogy with computers, & the case for theoretical humility in how we study it.

@tespiteri.bsky.socialAfter a break, The HPS Podcast is back for Season 6! 🎙️ In our first episode, I'm joined by Dr. Magdalena Skipper, Editor-in-Chief of Nature, for a conversation about trust in science, transparent peer review, COVID-19's legacy, & the inequities that continue to shape who gets published.
@tespiteri.bsky.socialThis week we welcome Prof. Steven Shapin to the pod!🎙️ We explore his journey through interdisciplinary spaces, revisit Leviathan and the Air-Pump 40 years on, and explore how credibility, trust and expertise are shaped by the fragmentation of expertise and (recent) political & cultural challenges
@tespiteri.bsky.socialUljana Feest’s 'Operationism in Psychology: An Epistemology of Exploration' provides a rigorous and insightful analysis of psychological research. This important contribution is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy and history of science. I’ve jotted dow some brief reflections below
@tespiteri.bsky.socialWe are grateful to have had @ufeest.bsky.social join for this week's HPS Seminar, where she discussed work from her new book Operationism in Psychology: An Epistemology of Exploration. A stimulating and insightful session. Thanks a lot, Uljana!
@tespiteri.bsky.socialThis week, we’re joined by Professor Miriam Solomon to discuss stigma and its impact on psychiatry — how it has shaped diagnoses, DSM revisions, and ideas of what counts as disorder
@tespiteri.bsky.socialI had a rich and wide-ranging conversation w/ Professor Philip Kitcher for the podcast this week. We discuss his intellectual journey, interventions in creationism, sociobiology & the genome project, his philosophical evolution, and vision for philosophy serving the common good. A real privilege.
@tespiteri.bsky.social🎙️ New HPS Pod!
I chat with Prof. Lydia Patton about HOPOS — the history of philosophy of science. From her editorship of the journal to the future of the discipline, Patton shares why a historical lens reshapes core philosophical questions.

@tespiteri.bsky.socialThis week, Cristian Larroulet Philipi joins us to talk about measurement in the human sciences: why it can be more philosophically complex than in the physical sciences, and how it raises pressing questions about the role of numbers in psychology, social science, and policy
