I am really happy to share that I have started as PI of an @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social-funded 3-year project @clpskuleuven.bsky.social. I'll investigate how scientists conceptualize, model & measure environments across the life, cognitive, social & Earth sciences! #philsci #philsky #evosky #envhum 🧪

This has been a really fun project to be a part of, and now we have a cool cover! My co-editors are Alison McConwell, Michael Dietrich, John Beatty, with authors from across biology, history, and philosophy (including one from me). It's due out in June 2027 -- can't wait! 🌱🐋

As a modeller, it’s sometimes hard to convey the idea that adding complexity to our models (ostensibly making them more realistic) doesn’t necessarily give us more explanatory power. This paper makes that point clear by arguing why simpler models are often more illuminating. Congrats to the authors!
