/* Standards, Practices, and Guidelines for this Wiki */
# Philosophers who have made significant contributions to the philosophy of biology but who do not list phil bio as a current AOS/AOC are usually not listed.<ref>[http://www.pitt.edu/~pkmach/index.html Peter Machamer] and [http://www.hps.pitt.edu/profile/woodward.php James Woodward] at the University of Pittsburgh Department of History and Philosophy of Science are two examples.</ref> However, sometimes philosophers' short web bios do not list philosophy of biology as an AOS, though their expanded bios or personal web pages do.<ref>[http://philosophy.ubc.ca/persons/john-beatty/ John Beatty] at the University of British Columbia is an example.</ref> This wiki simply reflects the self-reports of online faculty listings, which is a way to avoid having to make judgment calls about who counts as a philosopher of biology in borderline cases. The rule of thumb is: someone counts if they say they count.
# Bioethics, environmental ethics, philosophy of neuroscience/cognitive science, philosophy of medicine, and history of biology&mdash;in and of themselves&mdash;are not counted as philosophy of biology, though philosophers of biology with those interests are listed.
# <strong>This is a wiki, so anyone can contribute</strong>. If programs or faculty have been overlooked&mdash;which is assuredly the case&mdash;you are encouraged to make changesadd them. Also, information will date rapidly&mdash;especially, e.g., links to pdf CVs since their filenames often contain the (approximate) dates of creation, which change&mdash;so by all means help keep things up to date. Questions, comments, ideas? Let me know at [mailto:shamiller@ucdavis.edu shamiller@ucdavis.edu].
