30Privacy in Social MediaTechné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 26 (2): 257-284. 2022.Privacy loss is one of the primary issues associated with the use of social media or social network sites. These sites operate by collecting and sharing data from users to obtain economic revenue. As a solution, it is recommended that users be informed about safe online practices and that they should behave accordingly. However, this does not usually happen, which makes privacy regulations ineffective. We argue that a top-down, control-focused approach to privacy, such as that found in the Europ…Read more

21Global climate change, diet, and the complex relationship between human host and microbiome: Towards an integrated pictureBioessays 43 (6): 2100049. 2021.Dietary changes can alter the human microbiome with potential detrimental consequences for health. Given that environment, health, and evolution are interconnected, we ask: Could diet‐driven microbiome perturbations have consequences that extend beyond their immediate impact on human health? We address this question in the context of the urgent health challenges posed by global climate change. Drawing on recent studies, we propose that not only can diet‐driven microbiome changes lead to dysbiosi…Read more

Palgrave Macmillan UK, London, 2016, 284 pp, Hardcover $150.00, ISBN: 9780199692026 (review)Journal for General Philosophy of Science / Zeitschrift für Allgemeine Wissenschaftstheorie 49 (3): 467-473. 2018.In the history of biology, knowledge about human differences often has been produced through an interaction with politics and values assumed to be external to science. Two recent books—Jonathan Marks’ Is Science Racist? and Maurizio Meloni’s Political Biology—shed new light on this interplay. While Marks looks into the field of anthropology, Meloni offers a historiographical view on the soft-hard heredity debate. Based on these new contributions, this essay addresses a number of current ways in …Read more
