John Wilkins is an eternal student, who thinks philosophy of biology is at least as interesting as politics or sport and twice as important. He has a PhD from the University of Melbourne and worked at the University of Queensland, in Australia, before taking up a research fellowship at the University of Sydney. After a varied career, involving factories, gardening, civil service, publishing, graphics, public relations but not, unfortunately for the CV, driving a truck, John finally completed his thesis on species concepts in 2004, which he has worked into two books.

This blog is designed evolved to host any random thoughts that happen to be passing through my forebrain at a given moment. So there will be errors...

Intermediate concepts in science: a list

Category: General Science
Posted on: January 2, 2008 11:03 PM, by John S. Wilkins

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...

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).

...and (before I forget again), is there any chance that Seed could set up a permanent page for these, so you don't have to keep on bumping the same posts up?
