[This post could not be retrieved] - Excited to recruit a 🚨 postdoc 🚨 for projects on #AI and evolving scientific practice, norms, and impact! Interdisciplinary work across science of science, philosophy of science, math with creative Purdue/Argonne/CMU/Chicago/Princeton collaborators! *pls repost*! careers.purdue.edu/job/Postdoc-...

- Excited this piece is finally out in Philosophy of Science. We argue that, paradoxically, we can have certainty about theorems in math, the proofs of which we can never understand. That's weird and tells us something important about why we do math in the first place #philsky tinyurl.com/3dxxb98a

- Reposted by Eamon DuedeCan AI simulations of human research participants advance cognitive science? In @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social, @lmesseri.bsky.social & I analyze this vision. We show how “AI Surrogates” entrench practices that limit the generalizability of cognitive science while aspiring to do the opposite. 1/
- Reposted by Eamon Duede1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv. There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.
- New piece w/ James Evans in Science explores what we call 'science after science', an era where our ability to control nature may exceed our ability to understand it; a new struggle to sustain curiosity & understanding under AI's predictive dominance. #ai #science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

- In 1977 computers proved the 4Color Theorem. Human's can't check that proof, but trust it because they understand it. Now #AI can generate proofs we'll never understand. Can we trust those? In a new paper out in PhilSci @philscijournal.bsky.social, we argue yes! with a catch: tinyurl.com/yhmnrx5m

- Reposted by Eamon Duede1. The philosophy of science sometimes gets an unearned reputation as a purely academic exercise that offers little by way of concrete tools for advancing research. This is wrong. And today, as we grapple with how AI is changing the nature of scientific activity, it's desperately wrong.

- Reposted by Eamon DuedeStudy sections are the review panels that allocate NIH research grants. They bring in experts from around the country and have to be scheduled many months in advance; they provide the funds that keep the nation's biomedical research going. It's hard to overstate the disruption this causes.
- Reposted by Eamon DuedeWhy should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better… -For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return. -Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)
- With Wikipedia under attack, it's important to remember that its articles source and cite *very high quality* science AND serve to amplify public access to that science! @wikipdia.bsky.social is probably the best public knowledge repository we have: asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

- Reposted by Eamon DuedeAI for science could be more impactful than chatbots. It is already helping win Nobel prizes and accelerating drug development and materials discovery. Today we published an essay about it: why it matters, how it’s happening and its implications. Here is a summary from an econ / social sci lens.
