| 13 May 2024 | 15:30 | I review some of the main themes in the book I just published for University of Chicago Press, entitled Inference and Representation: A Study in Modeling Science. I focus in particular on the emergence of the modeling attitude in 19th century science and the claimed use of models in practice, with special emphasis on theoretical models in physics and evolutionary biology.

| 10 June 2024 | 15:30 | From spillover diseases to re-emerging infections to rising rates of antimicrobial resistance, microbes have proliferated daily conversation in recent years. These serious and continuing threats to human and nonhuman health fly in the face of triumphalist narratives of epidemiological transition and global disease eradication (Bellamy Foster et al., 2021). The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the extent to which these human-microbial interactions are mediated by ecological change widely construed, from urban and rural land use change driven by global commerce patterns to shifts in internal microbial populations within bodies..
