I’m organizing a TAG Santa Fe session on sketching and uncertainty in archaeology with Zoe Crossland and @roddick_a. Check out our abstract and other sessions at the link. Some of NEH-Mellon fellowship work on Late Formative Tiwanaku will be featured!

Am I the only one who unequivocally thinks that philosophy has made progress? Perhaps I have a different definition of what progress means, but surely I can't be the only one?

The number of theories and arguments that philosophers uncovered, as well as the clarity and breadth of their analyses, is certainly progress.

@ninokadic @DominikDammer @philosophy @academicchatter From 2027 to 2036, Western science and philosophy will have a number of centenaries to celebrate, each with multiple opportunities to work toward flipping some of those switches: https://eqpa.wordpress.com/2023/05/10/the-potential-in-a-century-of-uncertainty/

Forget economic fears, focus on work uncertainty. Articulate your impact, prove your value, and be your own advocate. Thrive in the changing workplace.

The Primacy of Doubt: From Quantum Physics to Climate Change, How the Science of Uncertainty Can Help Us Understand Our Chaotic World

“Quite possibly the best popular science book I’ve ever read” (Brian Clegg) shows how the tools that enabled us to overcome the uncertainty of the weather will enable us to find new answers to modern science's most pressing questions.

Is it any wonder we don't trust one another?

Misinformation has a significant impact on #MentalHeath because the dissemination of unverified information causes #uncertainty, #anxiety, and a profound sense of mistrust.

We are bombarded with contradicting advice, alarming stories, and unproven therapies as social media platforms and unregulated online sources proliferate, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish reliable information from lies.

We can't trust any damn source for truth.

I’m happy to announce that my reflection on “Uncertainty as an Unavoidable Good” was published in Bielefeld University’s Center for Uncertainty Studies Working Papers series:

"Another athlete mysteriously died... was it the #vaccine?" - you might have seen this before.

Media #manipulators constantly hunt for unexplained anomalies they can leverage for furthering their self-serving narratives.

This works because our brains do not deal well with #uncertainty; we tend to overfit unexplained datapoints into stories offered by others.

However, anomalies (fake or real) are just exceptional #anecdotes and almost always irrelevant to a #scientific #consensus on a topic.

"Uncertainty, thus, is the parent of #biodiversity, and localized #disturbances such as #fires --which, at least up to a point, increase the level of #uncertainty-- are key to the maintenance of #diversity"

book [1] by @deevybee "As we shall see, demonstrating that an intervention has an impact is much harder than it appears at first sight"

https://mastodon.social/@deevybee/110118670777140484

"Much of the attention of methodologists has focused on how to recognize and control for unwanted factors that can affect outcomes of interest. But psychology is also important: it tells us that own human biases can be just as important in leading us astray"
