Another great presentation at #ESHS-HSS. Edmund Ramsden discussing the fascinating commercial-scientific work of Skinnerian scientists Marian & Keller Breland. From 'Animal Behavior Enterprises', training military dolphins to challenging behavorism in 'the misbehavior of organisms' #histSTM #hps

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

My survey class on the history of science is essentially about the social conditions required for science. The final lecture is always about how the US became the dominant nation for research in the 2nd half of the 20th century, and how it in retrospect it may be seen as an anomalous "Golden Age."
