From Biotech to Philosophy PhD: My Paper Got 53 Downloads in 22 Days, Seeking Science Program Tips
Hi r/AcademicPhilosophy,, I’m an MSc Biotechnology grad from IIT Bombay, transitioning to philosophy of science. I’ve published two open-access papers on PhilArchive to prove my research mindset:Objectivity in Scientific Knowledge: How Biases Shape Scientific Research (53 downloads in 22 days, on AI, bias, feminist epistemology).Epistemology of Freedom: The Limits of Knowledge and the Boundaries of Autonomy (21 downloads in 22 days, linking philosophy and neuroscience). My biotech background informs my work on scientific epistemology, and I’m seeking PhD programs in philosophy of science (US, Europe, India). I’ve applied to Zurich but want more options. How can I leverage my papers and biotech skills for applications? Any programs or professors open to interdisciplinary candidates? Tips on finding PhD vacancies? Thanks!
