My primary research interests are in the areas of philosophy of biology, philosophy of science, and history of philosophy of science.  I am especially interested in the following interrelated topics:
  • the methodology of population biology, especially evolutionary ecology
  • the role of models in biology and science more generally
  • the properties of scientific explanations
  • connections among different fields of science, i.e., the unity of science
  • the history of logical empiricism, especially the work of Otto Neurath
