#hpbio — Public Fediverse posts

I’m excited to finally announce a Festschrift SI at Acta Biotheoretica honoring the work of Bill Wimsatt with the SI’s first publication by @[email protected] and @[email protected]! The editors (@[email protected] and I) are delighted! #philsci #hpbio link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Aldo Leopold was born OTD in 1887. “We abuse land because we see it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” #HpBio #HistSTM 🌎 #philsci #STS 🧪

I feel this way too. I feel I should be posting about #hpbio, environmental ethics, conservation, 🌎 etc. And sometimes I do post on those things. But all of that depends on a functioning democracy & we don’t have one right now. Plus direct threats to the envt from 🪚&🍊. I guess this is my “apology.”
