Sophie Ritson

STEM, social science & humanities scholars teaming up to create high-quality videos of black holes with an Earth-sized virtual telescope. Some highlights from the recently published white paper.

the @eht_ng's history, philosophy & culture white paper is out now #OpenAccess Was great fun to take part in this exciting process of interdisciplinary collaboration-building.

How can we best do and promote interdisciplinary research in philosophy of science? Join us in sharing and discussing the insights of pioneers like Nancy Nersessian, @Catherine Herfeld, @Sabina Leonelli, Miles MacLeod, and @Sophie Ritson . Dec. 6th to 8th, online.

New paper out "Constraints and Divergent Assessments of Fertility in Non-empirical Physics in the History of the String Theory Controversy", #openaccess at this link for the next 50 days. authors.elsevier.com/a/1dnFb8yuQtYLf

@StaleyKent @Helenreflects Thanks, Helen and Kent!

@Helenreflects Thanks for the shout-out Helen! Here is another cool paper by @sophritson: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper out. Kent Staley and I demonstrate how measurement uncertainty in particle physics can render circularity epistemically benign, and how this constitutes an in-practice solution to a form of Duhemian underdetermination. #OA sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@FrancesVidotto Thank you!

"The string theory controversy has novel aspects which [...] include [...] a negotiation of the boundary between science and non-science where the dominant group is forced to defend its authority" philsci-archive.pitt.edu/16978/ @sophritson you said it perfectly! Congrats on your thesis!

@StevenFrench4 @HPSGlonk @alicemurphs Looking forward to reading it soon!

@HPSGlonk @sophritson It’s a great paper - saw Sophie present at the BSPS conference in Durham last year & @alicemurphs and I cite it in our (hopefully) forthcoming piece on surprise in science!
