I’m deeply inspired after attending my first ISHPSSB in Porto. I was excited by the diversity of problems and the openness of the community. I felt truly impressed and grateful for the responses to my work (on varieties of organicism and the metaphysics of phylogenetic systematics). Until next time!

My first conference poster that I presented at the ISHPSSB 23. It presents my ideas about Agnes Arber’s stance on teleology.
In short: Formal teleology = 😍; Final teleology = 🤨
Stay tuned for more interesting and fun stuff on awesome plant morphologist Agnes Arber! 🌿

#histsci / #histmed people: anyone (a) planning on submitting an abstract for ISHPSSB 2025 (deadline 1 Nov) & (b) interested in the themes of end-19th century evolutionary theory, germ theory and colonial science/medicine? Thinking if to put in a panel proposal or just individual submission.
