New #AssemblingLife article on the Metaphysics of Pregnancy out on #PhilosophyCompass. Embryogenesis is mentioned as a case of self-organisation and in mammals it is intrinsically linked to pregnancy, so this article explores how we can think about pregnancy in the first place.

My article for #PhilosophyCompass on the Metaphysics of Pregnancy has been accepted for publication! It has been the result of some years of teaching and I think it’s such a cool topic. 🎉 Here is the link to the AAM version: philpapers.org/rec/BELTMO-20 @Assembling_Life 🦋

Had a fantastic time at the workshop on comparative philosophy of science organised by @si_loh and @karimbschir for the @CPSUiO. It was a great chance to put philosophy at work and brainstorm ideas 💡 @Assembling_Life

It was so nice to host Vanessa Seifert at the #CPS bookclub to discuss her Cambridge Element “Chemistry’s metaphysics” and her writing process! Interviewed by @OestSander. @Assembling_Life @CambUP_PHILNYUK 📖

How can we think of the relations between physics and biology? This relevant question for our project on self-assembly and self-organisation was explored during the SPSP session at #PSA2024 chaired by our advisor Julia Bursten! 🦋

Spontaneity is such a fascinating concept! 💥 Thanks to @CPSUiO lunch time seminar for hosting me and for the great feedback on my talk!

Interested in chemical spontaneity? Our researcher @OestSander has a very interesting view on this, which he presented last week at the @CPSUiO lunch time seminar. ⚗️🧪 hf.uio.no/english/research/s…

We are getting ready for our #CPS Gen 2.0 Reopening workshop! The program is terrific: we move from policy making to formal ontology, methodology in science and metaphysics of science, communication in science and philosophy of physics ⤵️@UniOslo hf.uio.no/english/research/s…
