Special thanks to Philosophy of Science (Cambridge UP) for highlighting the work of Albert Einstein alongside philosophy heavyweights like @Kevinzollman in celebration of the journal’s 90th anniversary. I think we’ll soon be hearing great things from this Albert Einstein.

Check out this great interview with Prof. Francesca Zaffora Blando!

[Carnegie Mellon University Dietrich College @CMU_DietrichHSS]

Much of Zaffora Blando's work focuses on algorithmic randomness, a branch of logic that studies the concept of randomness from the perspective of the theory of computation. https://t.co/PkXVoUpG2i
