🎙️ New HPS Pod!

I chat with Prof. Lydia Patton about HOPOS — the history of philosophy of science. From her editorship of the journal to the future of the discipline, Patton shares why a historical lens reshapes core philosophical questions.

An absolute privilege to interview the scientist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy for @hpspodcast.bsky.social
She was so generous & honest in talking about the shifts she had to experience in order to 'see' that men could be expert carers of babies #philsci #hps #fathertime

Blaffer 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.
