A "for the record" paper for evolutionary biologists:

tl;dr: cite the 1964 paper, not the 1973 for "nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution"

A shared these screenshots with my #philbio colleagues and crowed that (1) the chatbot is not advanced enough to form consistent arguments, and (2) if this is going to be the kind of essays we're gonna grade from now on, I don't want to! It's a headache to point out exactly what went wrong.

Well, folks. I tried the same set of questions again this morning.

And to my surprise, I tell you... #ChatGPT did very, very well.

Yesterday, I asked #ChatGPT whether the Portuguese Man O'War is a biological individual, a classic question in #philbio. It gave inconsistent answers like the one below, insisting that the colonial organism is not an individual (organism), but also agreeing that it fits the bot's own criteria of individuality. I kept pushing. It struggled. Eventually, it started to repeatedly throw up red errors when I really pushed: how are zooids different from the organs of a multicellular individual then?

So excited to share that #ISHPSSB #ISHPSSB23 call for abstracts is out!

I finished reading 'Other Minds'by Peter Godfrey-Smith and felt quite emotional at the end. What a wonderful book.

"There are many reasons for us to appreciate and care for oceans, and I hope this book has added another one. When you dive into the sea, you are diving into the origin of us all." 💙🌊

What an honor to serve on its editorial board.

Had some very nice conversations with a few of my closest #evodevo and #philbio mentors this past week, after not being in touch for over an year. Next year, I will embark on an even more independent scholarly path, with a strong focus on building new skill sets (#German, #DigitalHumanities stuff related to #GraphDatabase #NetworkAnalysis). Will still do some grant-writing, paper-writing, encyclopedia-writing, #scicomm, but the focus will be on foundational new skills.

Apparently, there is now a #philbio group! Tag to share posts to the group and get posts from the group.

hello, fellow chlorochrous creatures. i am trying to navigate this space and grow some community here! i live in the pnw. i love metalsmithing, especially synclastic and anticlastic raising and fold forming.

i am passionate about keeping bees, tending to pollinator and wildlife habitat and bioremediation of brown fields. i grow perennial edibles, and aromatic plants that i distill with my trusty copper alembic or enfleurage to make botanical scents with.

i design bilingual (en/es) curriculum and practice regenerative, whole systems-informed horticultural therapy with youth in the foster system and carceral institutions. well, i did and will do again.

currently i am in a rather extended process of recovering from spinal cord surgery, so i am mostly prone while my body mends. i have eds so it’s a slow process. i am pretty much on pause right now. which makes me treasure whatever kind of intellectual and creative stimulation i can get!

lower case has been my default since i first read bell hooks as a wee lass. now i just learned why the first letter of each word should be capitalized in hashtags - to make it more coherent for people who use screen readers. so, here is a lengthy list of things i’d love to connect around!
