📣2023 #ISFLeeds Award:
A ground-breaking experimental study led by Prof. Gregory Radick helps students learn genetics without acquiring the false and pernicious idea that DNA is destiny. The next phase benefits from global collaborators via #ISFLeeds.

Disputed Inheritance by Greg Radick @hpsleeds is a must-read for all geneticists. In this Q&A, he tells us about the book, including whose peas grace the cover (hint: not Mendel’s!). He also invites us to participate in a teaching experiment. Check it out! https://t.co/p5eW7AwlRV

Congratulations to Devin Gouvêa, awardee of the Werner Callebaut Prize 2023 for her paper "Historicizing the homology problem." Thanks to @ISHPSSB, the Prize Plaque found its new home at the Callebaut library of @KLIAustria. See all awardees since 2015 on the beautiful plaque ⬇️

[HPS Leeds @hpsleeds]

It exists! Many congratulations to Greg Radick on the publication of his "root-and-branch rethinking of how history has shaped the science of genetics". Intellectual dynamite!
Order your e-copy @UChicagoPress by Monday using the code EBOOK75 and it will only cost you $9.25.

Many many warm congratulations to all the amazing @ISHPSSB prize winners 2023!! Vera Straetmanns for Poster Flash Talk; Marina Di Marco, Kyra Hoerr, Aja Watkins for Interdisciplinary Organised Session (and the fab runner-up session on plant biology!)….

[Sabina Leonelli @SabinaLeonelli]

Closing @ISHPSSB the business meeting, President @ankeny_rachel thanks the amazing organisers and programme chair of #ishpssb23 with her usual uncanny ability to pick brilliant gifts! Huge thanks also to Rachel for her impeccable, committed leadership over the past 2 tough years

[Javier Suárez HPSB @HpsbJavier]

We presented this work-in-progress as a session in Oslo 2019 and it took us 3 years to finish the draft. It has been a great collaboration with @Dr_inPhieVeigl and @AdrianoStencel. We are extremely thankful to @ISHPSSB for this recognition in #ISH2023.

@ISHPSSB #ish2023 Ruse & Reiss’s The New Biology (2023) diagnoses a new wave of holism in current biology. A full room this morning as scholars evaluate this claim. It’s Emma Sigworth speaking in this photo

[Francesca Bellazzi @FranciBellazzi]

What in the relation between genes and given phenotypic traits and how do we think about them? All these questions brilliantly discussed by Kate Lynch at @ISHPSSB this morning in the “Broadening our horizons in understanding genetic causation” session (1/2)

[Marco Ornelas Cruces @markornelas]

#GregRadick "Why the Bateson–Weldon Debate over Mendelism Matters, Then and Now" at @ISHPSSB #ISH23
Why this debate mattered then... and now?

Past-prez of @ISHPSSB Greg Radick: “it is an accident of history that our science of inheritance became Mendelized” #ISH2023 at its best

@ISHPSSB #ish2023 The best wine last - great final session on Organicism, inspired by Reiss and Ruse’s 2023 book with Thompson, Nicholson, Rupke, Sigsworth commenting.

[Emma @1stphilosophy]

I had a lovely time presenting in Michael Ruse’s session on “the new biology” today — great discussion with great co-panelists @NicholsonHPBio @GregoryRupik and Paul Thompson. @ISHPSSB #ISHPSSB2023
