Carlo Rovelli on the importance of good #PhilSci to making advances in physics.
On his account, misinterpretations of Kuhn and Popper by practicing physicists account in part for what he considers to be too much work on unproductive research programs.

Why bad philosophy is stopping progress in physics
Theoretical physicists are in thrall to a misguided mindset that allows viable ideas to be advanced only by overturning what already exists.

Why are experiences not valued where students:
Ask more questions than they are asked
Reflect more than respond
Complicate answers more than memorize them
Collaborate more than isolate
And where are those student experiences valued? Where are they captured in the evidence-based world of school?

I actually wrote a little something about this theconversation.com/multiple-goa...
Multiple goals, multiple solutions, plenty of second-guessing and revising − here’s how science really works
Unrealistic, outdated ideas that idealize science can set the public up to distrust scientists and the research process. A philosopher of science describes 3 aspects of how science really gets done.

Named a shaper of science herself, Dr. Prescod-Weinstein reminds us that Black people have practiced and shaped science even before we were awarded for it and as our knowledge was exploited during enslavement. Who is a Black shaper of science in your family or local community?

The case against grades is sound & research-based, particularly the stress & anxiety caused by reporting to always-on grading portals. If schools still decide they have to use these tools, educators & leaders should make an intentional effort to diminish the negative impacts of grading & reporting!
