@bayesianboy Thank you, Mel! Now I have to worry about grad students living in the walls! I’m sure this will be easy to explain to the Dean.

@bayesianboy You can visit Carnap’s desk anytime you want!

This statement from Hull (1988) could have been written today vis-à-vis the debate over the extended evolutionary synthesis. Plus ça change. [p.202 Science as a Process, U. Chicago Press]

[Dmitri Petrov @PetrovADmitri]

It is with profound sadness I relate the news that I just heard. Richard Lewontin died this morning. He was in poor health and passed away three days after his wife of many years, Mary Jane. He left an indelible mark on the field and will be remembered with deep admiration.

[Michael Dietrich @mrdietrich]

Get some perspective. https://t.co/3aAYsJcV8y
