Studies in History and Philosophy of Science journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/shpsa Understanding data uncertainty Alisa Bokulich", Wendy S. Parker b," " Department of Philosophy, Boston University, United States › Department of Philosophy, Virginia Tech, United States ABSTRACT Scientific data without uncertainty estimates are increasingly seen as incomplete. Recent discussions in the philosophy of data, however, have given little attention to the nature of uncertainty estimation. We begin to redress this gap by, first, discussing the concepts and practices of uncertainty estimation in metrology and showing how they can be adapted for scientific data more broadly; and second, advancing five philosophical theses about uncertainty estimates for data: they are substantive adequacy-for-purpose view of uncertainty estimation, addresses a weakness in a recent philosophical account of data, and provides a new perspective on the "safety" versus "precision" debate in metrology. 1. Introduction Uncertainty is an inescapable part of science. Yet while much has been written in recent years on uncertainty in computational modeling contexts (especially related to climate modeling; see, e.g., Parker, 2010; Frigg, Thompson, & Werndl, 2015; Knutti et al., 2019), comparatively little philosophical attention has been given to uncertainty associated with scientific data collected via observation, measurement, and experiment. Important preliminary work on this topic examines the evaluation of systematic uncertainty in measurement (Staley, 2020), changing conceptions of uncertainty in metrology (de Courtenay & Grégis, 2017; Grégis, 2019b), and the representation of uncertainty when measurements are discordant (Grégis, 2019a). Overall, however, when it comes to uncertainty associated with scientific data obtained via observation, measurement, and experiment—what we will call "data uncertainty"-the territory remains largely unexplored from a philosophical point of view. Conception…

This is an absolute gift to the fossil fuel industry.
Solar panels = energy independence.
But they definitely do not want you to be independent. They want to keep you captive for as long as possible.

Our roof has earned us $150 so far this month. Nightmare scenario for the coal and gas industries.

In the US, installing solar panels on your roof might become much more expensive if the federal tax credits for residential solar is eliminated. I investigated and published on the impact of this program on residential solar in New Jersey 2 years ago ☀️⚡🧪

They have now gutted NSF....the beacon for funding basic research. Over 33 years, NSF funded 90% of my research including CAICE. I feel so sad for everyone. Why destroy the heart of basic science? What is their end game? The damage makes no sense unless you truly are trying to destroy the US.

A thread of #ConservationJobs (and career resources) in conservation-related science, policy, practice, communication, etc.

I'll add to it over time. Focus will be mostly in Canada, with occasional posts for other parts of the world.

Share job ads with me and I'll link here.
