Intermediate concepts in science: a list 2 Feb 200818 Sep 2017 As well as the Basic Concepts list, I occasionally get sent some links that are in my mind too advanced to be basics, but too good not to mention. So I will do with them what I have done with the Basics. Send me some links… Recent additions Coturnix’s Biological Clock tutorials, 1-16, and a short history, from A blog around the clock Update to links Basics of radiometric dating Mathematics Fourier transforms for the practical person by parseval at A Candle in the Dark FT of some common functions by parseval at A Candle in the Dark Ain’t so convoluted by parseval at A Candle in the Dark Statistics Statistical Modelling: The Bits Pt. 1 by Bob O’Hara at Deep Thoughts and Silliness Statistical Modelling: The Bits Pt. 2 by Bob O’Hara at Deep Thoughts and Silliness Physics Free and Paid Convection by Arunn at Unruled Notebook Free Convection by Arunn at Unruled Notebook Free Convection and the Rayleigh Numberby Arunn at Unruled Notebook Basics of radiometric dating by thermochronic at Apparent Dip Biology ClockTutorial #1 – What Is Chronobiology by Coturnix at A blog around the clock ClockTutorial #2: Basic Concepts and Terms by Coturnix at A blog around the clock ClockTutorial #2a: Forty-Five Years of Pittendrigh’s Empirical Generalizations by Coturnix at A blog around the clock ClockTutorial #3a – Clock Evolution by Coturnix at A blog around the clock ClockTutorial #3b – Whence Clocks? by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #3c – Darwin On Time by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #4: On Methodology by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Genetics – A Short History by Coturnix at A blog around the clock ClockTutorial #5: Circadian Organization by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #6: To Entrain Or Not To Entrain, That Is The Question by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #7: Circadian Organization in Mammals by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #8: Circadian Organization In Non-Mammalian Vertebrates by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #9: Circadian Organization In Japanese Quail by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #10: Entrainment by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #11: Phase-Shifting Effects Of Light by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #12: Constructing the Phase Response Curve by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #13: Using The Phase Response Curve by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #14: Interpreting The Phase Response Curve by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #15: Seasonality by Coturnix at A blog around the clock Clock Tutorial #16: Photoperiodism – Models and Experimental Approaches by Coturnix at A blog around the clock General Science
Evolution Philosophy is to science, as ornithologists are to birds: 1. Introduction 4 Jun 200724 Nov 2022 This three-part series is a talk I gave a while back to some ecologists and molecular biologists. It is a brief overview of the aims and relationship between science and philosophy of science, with a special reference to the classification wars in systematics, and the interface of science and the… Read More
Creationism and Intelligent Design The heuristics of antiscience 25 Feb 2011 I’m crowdsourcing here, to ensure that I don’t say anything more stupid than usual. I’m writing a piece for a forthcoming book on antiscience, edited by Massimo Pigliucci. I want to consider the heuristics of antiscientific thinking, but, not being a psychologist or cognitive researcher, may be missing some obvious… Read More
Epistemology Science is not a religion, nor does it involve faith 15 Nov 201115 Nov 2011 Suppose you had a friend who saw the world in terms solely of his football team. If you are discussing politics, he refers to the boardroom of the team; if you are talking morality, the on-field ethics of his favourites stars. Now you start to talk about science, and he… Read More
Oh good, can I plug a couple of mine too? I might even get round to doing a Basics post on Bayesian statistics (yes, I know there’s one there, but I want to say something else). Bob
