In the debate between scientific realism and anti-realism, what's the real bone of contention? In this blog post, I explore the idea that it's really about how broad or narrow a theory's scope might be.

@jdyeakel I share the same user as my boss on a server, I need to come up with something like this to see his reaction the next time he logs in...
@wwydmanski I doubt this user in particular has been tricked
@Jordan Not my field, but still extremely important for my formation: the structure of scientific revolutions by Kuhn
@GustavinoBevilacqua Bestie
@zackwhittaker I have an account there which I'm not using, why wasn't I contacted about this?
@GustavinoBevilacqua C'è gente che lo taglia dall'altro lato?
@dctrjack Can journalists go back to doing their job properly without relying on social media?
@tonic Not sure what you mean by wing it, I did actually contribute to the paper by providing help and advice based on my field of expertise.
The paper is however on a completely different topic and the content was written by different people.
I'm being listed because of my contribution, which was there even though the actual content and results of the paper aren't completely clear to me.
I doubt I'll have to justify to anyone about the contents of the paper, unless someone is interested in the details of what I did, which I doubt as that's not the main focus of the paper.
@tonic Nah, I barely know what the topic is and I know nothing about it.
I'm coauthor because I wrote the code used in the paper.
@Klausenhauser@mstdn.science @strucbio This is impressive
Hello Mastodon! #Introduction
I'm a computational chemist at Oxford University. My research is all about the structure of complex materials - aiming to understand, and ultimately to control it on the atomic scale. Our group (photo below!) combines #compchem & emerging #MachineLearning techniques to reach that goal.
I look forward to finding my way around this platform! This account will be work-related, but I'll try to add in the occasional photo from a hike or run
@trevorflowers This looks expensive
@marinao I don't think the two things can sincerely coexist, outside of a research on astrological practices and stuff like that.
Not interested enough on the matter to follow you.
Follow and follow back, we generally don't do that here; just pointing out, but everyone is free to do as they please
Italian, MSc in chemistry specialized in cheminformatics and QSAR.
I'm interested in cooking and building stuff.
I love traveling, I lived in India, China, Slovenia, Poland and Spain.
Currently working in Spain in the field of genomics; and doing a PhD in Drug Development using Quantum Mechanics and Artificial Intelligence.
Don't take what I say as an insult, I have no bad intentions and I'm open to talk about it.
Don't star my toots, I find that often useless: if you liked it send a reply.
Consider boosting the toots, it's the only real way in which stuff is propagated through mastodon.
