Public engagement is one of the fundamental pillars of the European programme for research and innovation Horizon 2020. The programme encourages engagement that not only fosters science education and dissemination, but also promotes two-way...
Machine learning in scientific grant review: algorithmically predicting project efficiency in high energy physics [0.03%]
机器学习在科研项目评审中的应用——以粒子物理实验项目为例预测研究项目的效益比

Vlasta Sikimić
As more objections have been raised against grant peer-review for being costly and time-consuming, the legitimate question arises whether machine learning algorithms could help assess the epistemic efficiency of the proposed projects. As a ...
Reflexivity and fragility [0.03%]
反思性与脆弱性
Robert Northcott
Robert Northcott
Reflexivity is, roughly, when studying or theorising about a target itself influences that target. Fragility is, roughly, when causal or other relations are hard to predict, holding only intermittently or fleetingly. Which is more important...
(In)effective realism? [0.03%]
有效的现实主义？
Juha Saatsi
Juha Saatsi
Matthias Egg (2021) argues that scientific realism can be reconciled with quantum mechanics and its foundational underdetermination by focusing realist commitments on 'effective' ontology. I argue in general terms that Egg's effective reali...
From epistemology to policy: reorienting philosophy courses for science students [0.03%]
从认识论到政策——为科学专业学生调整哲学课程方向
Mark Thomas Young
Mark Thomas Young
Philosophy of science has traditionally focused on the epistemological dimensions of scientific practice at the expense of the ethical and political questions scientists encounter when addressing questions of policy in advisory contexts. In...
Process epistemology in the COVID-19 era: rethinking the research process to avoid dangerous forms of reification [0.03%]
新冠时代的过程认识论：重新思考研究过程以避免危险的实体化形式

John Dupré
Whether we live in a world of autonomous things, or a world of interconnected processes in constant flux, is an ancient philosophical debate. Modern biology provides decisive reasons for embracing the latter view. How does one understand th...
Is HPS a valuable component of a STEM education? An empirical study of student interest in HPS courses within an undergraduate science curriculum [0.03%]
历史哲学与科学教育：一项关于大学生对史哲课程兴趣的实证研究

In a recent article in this journal, Sus purports to account for what have been identified as the 'two miracles' of general relativity-that (1) the local symmetries of all dynamical equations for matter fields coincide, and (2) the symmetri...

The identity and the existence of genes has been challenged by postgenomic discoveries. Specifically, the consideration of molecular and cellular phenomena in which genes are embedded has proved relevant for their understanding. In response...

Climate modelling plays a crucial role for understanding and addressing the climate challenge, in terms of both mitigation and adaptation. It is therefore of central importance to understand to what extent climate models are adequate for re...
