New book by Maël Lemoine in CUP. Very cool stuff! And surely provocative to many in philosophy of medicine. #philmed #philsci

It's scary swimming in the great depths where darkness lurks.

One of the coolest places to do a degree in #philsci #philbio #philmed The training takes place in an immunology lab but welcomes applications from all fields of biology and medicine, and is open to those considering a career in science and/or philosophy.

Thrilled to have received the Otto Wichterle Award
"to stimulate and encourage selected, exceptionally outstanding, promising young scientists at the Czech Academy of Sciences for their remarkable contributions to the advancement of scientific knowledge in a given area of science." Ok then!

I am thrilled to be hosting one of the world's most recognized immunologists, Shimon Sakaguchi, in Prague, continuing the dialogue between immunology and philosophy, as also a part of my research project. #immunosky #philsci #philbio

I am very relieved to learn that my project "Immunity and biological resilience: A conceptual framework" has received funding from the Czech Science Foundation for the next three years. Time to celebrate.🥳🥳🥳 #philsky #philsci #ImmunoSky

Got a rare award for a philosopher 🥳 from the Czech Academy of Sciences for my @thebjps.bsky.social paper, 1st to publish there with 🇨🇿 affiliation. Pulled a cheeky bastard by being a bit critical about academia at the end of my speech. #philsky #philsci

It's not a competition, but I guess I am "winning".

To get a promotion, I need to be evaluated by a committee which also looks at where I have published in the past two years. I made a "graphical abstract" for the committee. Is this a good idea?😁 #philsci

In a recent paper I discuss the many ways in which asymptomatic infections are of concern to long-term health consequences; several myths surrounding it; and implications for policy making, public health, and science communication.

This #philmed paper blames patient groups, while convenietly omits the good, such as patients finding comfort (thus relieving stress). It bizarely dismisses biological evidence for post-acute events. Instead of genuine bio-psycho-social integration, we get the psychological reductionism.

Czech immunology has contributed to our understanding of immune tolerance, most notably through Milan Hasek, the co-discoverer of immune tolerance. Join a hybrid special event on Thursday, Oct 19, celebrating the 70-year anniversary of some his major contributions.

Hello! Thank God (Alisa) I have gotten an invite code to BlueSky before afterlife.

I am a philosopher of science working on immunology. I post about immunology & philosophy, about my and others work, and about events. Sometimes I post about other things: follow me to find out which. ;-)
