And it’s a wrap! #MetaScience is now officially over and in these years we have achieved so much. Together with all the outputs, the main result is to have formed a real team, sharing the passion for philosophy across the world. 🌎 Thanks everyone! @ERC_Research @BristolUni (1/3)

Fascinated by the @Nature article “Assembly theory explains and quantifies selection and evolution”, the following debate on @ChemistryWorld, and discussion with @Assembling_Life, I wrote this letter for CW on the philosophy of Assembly theory, now out: chemistryworld.com/opinion/l…

Exactly one year since I submitted my PhD thesis - a year full of so many adventures I could have never imagined! And more exciting projects on the philosophy of biochemistry and metaphysics of science in progress and forthcoming 💫
I submitted my PhD thesis while looking at the sunset colouring Athens with gold. I feel a bit like a biochemical kind, as also for me none of this would have been possible without the most wonderful context of people and opportunities around me. Especially, @MetaScienceEU (1/2)

#WhatsNext6 ~ Tuomas will continue his role as the Faculty Research Director for Arts at @BristolUni and @PhilATBristol for now, but you probably can’t keep him from leading big research projects for long (and what an amazing job he has done with MetaScience)! @ttahko
