I have a new paper out in Biology & Philosophy where I explore the overlap between the philosophy of measurement and ancestry in human population genetics. Very grateful to the philosophers & scientists who encouraged me to write this up!

How is current genomics impacted by social, political, and ethical assumptions?
@yashaddad.bsky.social and I had the pleasure of presenting this issue in our newest work (link below)

Huge congratulations, Jan! This project sounded very exciting when I heard you present it at ISH. 🤩
We are very excited! Jan Baedke received an @erc.europa.eu Consolidator Grant for his project “Botanical Legacies: Towards a New History and Philosophy of Virtual Herbaria”, linking the history of local plant knowers with current digitation trends & biodiversity issues.

A painting of a house by one of Charles Darwin's children. We see a simple outline of a house with a pitched roof, two chimneys and some lead-paned windows. We see the kitchen fire, with a clock on a mantle, and some cast iron pots on a window sill. In a window at the stop of the house we see a cat, or possibly a squirrel!
A hand-written page of Charles Darwin's original manuscript for the Origin of Species. There are many ink blots and crossings out, and some foxing consistent with its age.
#OnThisDay in 1859, Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species was first published.
Much of the original manuscript was used as scrap paper by Darwin's children. On the back of this painting of a house is an original manuscript page from Origin!

🚨Paper🚨 What is social constructionism about race?
Philosophers of race usually treat constructionism as a theory about what exists. This misses something important: race constructionism is a practice - a way to investigate human activities.
