Massimo Pigliucci joins EES project

 

Massimo Pigliucci is the K.D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York. He has made seminal contributions to both evolutionary biology and the philosophy of biology, and was one of the founders of the extended evolutionary synthesis movement. Pigliucci was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science “for fundamental studies of genotype by environmental interactions and for public defense of evolutionary biology from pseudoscientific attack.” He will contribute to the EES research program by working on Project 2 (The EES in philosophical perspective) and participating in workshops.
