Griesemer/Millstein Philosophy of Biology Lab
UC Davis is home to the Griesemer/Millstein Philosophy of Biology Lab, which was founded by Jim Griesemer and earned its moniker when Roberta Millstein joined the UCD Philosophy Department in Fall 2006.
The Lab is a community of faculty, graduate students, and visitors interested in philosophy of biology and related subjects. We meet once a week during the regular school year to read and discuss our works-in-progress, share ideas for new projects, make presentations and provide feedback on them, read topics of common interest, and engage with visiting scholars. One of the main goals of the Lab is to support graduate students in the various stages of their careers; to that end, topics related to presenting at conferences, publishing in journals, etc., are frequently discussed.
Science & Technology Studies
The philosophy Ph.D. program also offers a Designated Emphasis in Science & Technology Studies, where the faculty include historian of science Mario Biagioli and cultural anthropologist Joseph Dumit, author of Drugs for Life (2012 Duke University Press). Both Prof. Millstein and Prof. Griesemer are affiliated faculty with the STS program. And Prof. Griesemer's 1989 “boundary objects” paper with Leigh Star is the most cited paper in Social Studies of Science. As of November 2014, the paper has been cited 5,142 times overall.
