Disillusioned by the turn taken by this social medium, the @StudiesOpen group is moving to @LinkedIn - you can find us and follow us here, hope to see you there soon for all things (responsible, inclusive) #OpenScience! linkedin.com/groups/9842045

This week @StudiesOpen moves to Belgrade to host a symposium on “The Nature of Research Environments” at the European Philosophy of Science Association #EPSA23 - @RoseTrappes and @SabinaLeonelli presenting w Nancy Nersessian, K. Brad Wray, Matteo De Benedetti & Michele Luchetti

We are spending @BritishSciFest at our @StudiesOpen stand playing The Research Game, where we get players discussing the collaborative dynamics and sometimes unfair practices of research institutions. Delighted that participants are having fun, join us tomorrow if in Exeter!

In this interview carried out by Prakar Manhas @azimpremjiuniv, @SabinaLeonelli presents her recent book Philosophy of Open Science and discusses the role of citizen expertise in research, and why philosophy can be of interest and use to society at large youtu.be/mumWP0GRuxg?si=_Nhm…

Last are @ankeny_rachel and @SabinaLeonelli reflecting on the relation between regimes and repertoires in research, using the case of precision toxicology to highlight why such analysis and framing may be useful @ISHPSSB #ishpssb23

Shifting gears towards globalised research coordination, @thanaelsheehan discusses diverse priorities and understandings of openness, accountability and data actionability in genomic data sharing around SARS-COV-2 @ISHPSSB #ishpssb23

Then @joyacquah9 discusses Ghanian crop research and especially national infrastructure for breeding technologies as a boundary organisation with many links to policy @ISHPSSB #ishpssb23

Then @joyacquah9 discusses Ghanian crop research and especially national infrastructure for breeding technologies as a boundary organisation with many links to policy @ISHPSSB #ishpssb23

Our final @ISHPSSB session on Coordination within and beyond biological research starts with @FTsiroukis on Stigmergy as a potential - but also rather problematic? - framing for Greek crop science research #ishpssb23

And finally, @RoseTrappes presenting work with @SabinaLeonelli on what existing uses of niche concepts, across biology & philosophy, could improve understanding of current research environments (esp in biology) & conditions under which they may thrive or fail @ISHPSSB #ishpssb23

Lua also brings in a case from our beloved @KLIAustria as a creative transdisciplinary research environment, one of the key home institutions for our field @ISHPSSB #ishpssb23

From @ProjectGeos, @LuaPoliseli joins in to discuss aesthetic values and experiences as conditions for achieving scientific understanding, and how those play a crucial role in ecological research environments @ISHPSSB #ishpssb23

Thanks so much Lynn, and let us know if you may have a draft on your thoughts any time soon - we are putting together a special issue based on the session (and another we will hold on this topic at EPSA23 in Belgrade) and it would be amazing to have you join in!

Part 2 starts with Andres Barragan and Jim Griesemer on substantiating ancient DNA as a research environment, focusing on resituating samples, data, models across and beyond the highly interdisciplinary engagement with paleo-genomics @ISHPSSB #ishpssb23

And to conclude part 1 of the symposium, Joseph Rouse presents on niche construction in evolutionary biology and philosophy of science - a preview of his excellent forthcoming book! @ISHPSSB #ishpssb23

Now @ElisJones20 #egenis on what studying / understanding coral reef science can teach about the socio-ecological dimensions of science (as a conceptually-mediated form of niche construction) @ISHPSSB #ishpssb23

Next up are Francesca Merlin and Gaëlle Pontarotti on their idea of environment as pathogenic niche, grounded on a critique of the exposome as overly broad & framed oppositionally to genome @ISHPSSB #ishpssb23
