1. Call for papers for conference, "The Authority of Science," 8-10 
April 2011, University of Sydney, Australia, 4th Sydney-Tilburg 
conference on the philosophy of science.  From climate change to the 
classification of illegal drugs the extent to which scientific 
opinion should prevail over other voices in determining public policy 
is hotly contested. What is it about the nature of science that 
confers epistemic authority on scientific opinion, and what are the 
scope and limits of that authority?  Abstracts due: 15th October 
2010.

3. Call for papers for conference, "Metaphysics and the Philosophy of 
Science," 13-15 May 2011, University of Toronto.  This conference

philosophy of physics and the philosophy of biology, and broader 
methodological questions about the role of metaphysics in the 
philosophy of science. Participation is open and welcome from all 
parties to these questions: from those who hold that metaphysics must 
have a place within the philosophy of science, to those who hold it 
should not.  Deadline for essays: January 10, 2011.
