Henk's @henkderegt.bsky.social book Understanding Scientific Understanding (2017) helped elevate understanding in phil of sci, distinct from what it means to explain something.

We discuss where his ideas have taken him since, like how to assess machine understanding.

Dan made it easy... check out his book
I had SO much fun talking to Paul for almost 2 hours about my new book on Schrödinger & molecular biology. Easily one of the most enjoyable podcasts I've ever done. Check it out!

P.S. CUP has made the PDF of my book free to download for 2 more weeks. Get it here: www.cambridge.org/core/element...
What Is Life? A misleading title for Schrödinger's book.

What is Life? Revisited. A spot-on title for Dan's @djnicholson.bsky.social book, which happens to be a gem.

After reading it and discussing with Dan, I can only picture Schrödinger as a cartoon villain now.

Niko @niko-kukushkin.bsky.social takes us on an evolutionary tour from molecules to minds. Nature is rife with meaning at all scales, to be found in the essences of interacting atoms, cells, species, and societies.

What changes and what stays the same as you scale from single neurons up to local populations of neurons up to whole brains?

Michael and Mac @macshine.bsky.social on the systems approach to study brains across scales.
