/* Standards & Practices for this Wiki */
* The criteria for inclusion is just that a philosophy Ph.D. program have at least one full-time faculty member who self-identifies as a philosopher of biology.
* The standard of evidence required to make the list is basically a faculty (or personal) web page of some kind or other that lists philosophy of biology as an AOS.<ref>For the purposes of this list, History and Philosophy of Science departments count as Philosophy Departments, while free-standing Science & Technology Studies (or Science Studies) departments don't. The rationale for this is that this wiki exists primarily to help prospective Ph.D. students interested in philosophy of biology get the lay of the land by seeing who works where. The assumption is that these people want to enroll in philosophy programs or HPS programs, not STS programs.</ref>
* 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>
