Research summary

Dana Tulodziecki works in philosophy and history of science, focusing on questions about whether scientific theories can be trusted to be true, especially when different theories or data sets can equally explain the same evidence (a puzzle called 'underdetermination'). Their work also examines historical case studies, such as old disease theories, to test philosophical claims about scientific progress, and more recently has extended into ethical and policy questions raised by private and government-sponsored space exploration.
