- Reposted by Samara GreenwoodFeminist scientists in the '60s and ’70s challenged the entrenched view of primate societies as ruled by aggressive alpha males, uncovering complex dynamics of cooperation. But as this podcast details, the "alpha male" myth endures in human culture. W/ @samaragreenwood.bsky.social

- Reposted by Samara GreenwoodBlaffer Hrdy (ask me how autocorrect dealt with both of those words…) is an amazing researcher and razor-sharp thinker. I don’t listen to many podcasts (the bandwidth is too low for my taste) but I will do so here.

- What a wonderful example of #HPS community! Via Bluesky @penders.bsky.social, @mbarany.com & I developed a better alternative to either *scientific consensus* or *convergent evidence*. Find our proposal below the editorial that started it all - www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #philsci #sts

- I was told it is about time I set up an academic website for myself, so here it is. It's a pretty simple 1-pager, but if you have a chance to click through, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. (I wish bsky links didn't make my head look so big) #hps #histsci #philsci #sts www.samaragreenwood.com

- My interview for *The Philosopher's Zone* podcast on Feminism and Primatology is out now! I managed to scrounge up the courage to listen and I'm quite proud 🙃 You can listen to the ep via the ABC website or in the usual podcast places #hps #sts #histsci #PhilSci #feminism #primatology
- The interviewer becomes the interviewee... today I recorded an ep for The Philosopher's Zone with David Rutledge at ABC studios all about my research on Feminism and primatology. Episode airs Sunday at 5.30pm AEST --> www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... #hps #histsci #philsci
- @holdenthorp.bsky.social @penders.bsky.social @mbarany.com - I even managed to incorporate the terms *iteration* *community* and *convergence* to explain how robust scientific theories are developed...I'm interested to hear what you think?

- Another alternative to "scientific consensus" @mbarany.com suggests "convergent understanding" My e.g. 'This is our convergent understanding based on decades of research, debate & critical testing, and supported by substantial lines of diverse evidence' yep, nice suggestion #hps #philsci
- I like the term 'convergent evidence'. On first glance at least, it appears to be doing a lot of good work. But I am interested to hear the views of other historians and philosophers of science? #hps #philsci #histSTM
- Interesting opinion in Science suggesting to replace 'scientific consensus' with convergent evidence. Because it is less easily derailed by quoting one dissenting opinion. Seems like a good idea! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- Would love to hear the views of @naomioreskes.bsky.social @fidlerfm.bsky.social @alisabokulich.bsky.social @haicinnamon.bsky.social @ufeest.bsky.social
- @annaalexandrova.bsky.social and @miguelohn.bsky.social - any thoughts on Holden Thorp's editorial?
