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

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)

#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
