I'm thrilled to share my latest article @EuroJPS! I assess the potential & limitations of aligning notions of 'research environments' with biological concepts of 'environment' to grasp the socio-material contexts in & through which science happens link.springer.com/article/10… #philsci

Evelyn Fox Keller’s memoir just came out! A pioneer and a force for the good she is.

70 years ago, 3 papers appeared in @Nature under the title ‘Molecular structure of nucleic acids’. In an article appearing today (link at end) @matthewcobb and I shed new light on ‘what Watson and Crick really took from Rosalind Franklin’. This thread summarizes our findings.1/23

New publication! This paper discusses how a biological phenomenon that is produced by diverse mechanisms can be studied by using multiple model systems. It examines research on collective cell migration as an example. The full article is available here:

Happy to see the BEC lineup inspires such excitement! Not to brag or anything but.... yes, our community is pretty awesome.
This abstract for this talk by @nikivermeulen and Karen Kastenhofer got me so excited I nearly fell out of my chair: ""The Impact of Technoscientific Hype Cycles on Epistemic Communities: Short Term, Middle Term, Long Term." Not sure I can make it but, boy, do I want to be there.
The next BEC meeting will be next Tuesday, April 11th. We're thrilled to be hosting Karen Kastenhofer and Niki Vermeulen @nikivermeulen who will be presenting on "The Impact of Technoscientific Hype Cycles on Epistemic Communities: Short Term, Middle Term, Long Term."
