DESCRIPTION:[b]Abstract:[/b] Since the second World War\, we have entered 
 the era of ‘Big Science’. Research is now often conducted at a scale well
  beyond of what one individual\, or even one research lab can manage. Suc
 h large experiments tend to require financial support from one or more go
 vernment agencies over extended periods of time—often even several decade
 s. Because of this increase in costs\, scientists have had to change how 
 they decide what experiments to pursue\, since only a small number of lar
 ge-scale experiments will be funded at any given time\, and what experime
 nts are pursued can determine the future of scientific research. In this 
 talk\, I want to give a start at investigating what makes an experiment m
 ore worthy to pursue compared to other experiments\, especially in the er
 a of Big Science. \n\n\n[b]Short Bio:[/b] My primary interests lie in his
 tory and philosophy of cosmology and astrophysics\, and general philosoph
 y of science. I received my PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from
  the University of Pittsburgh in 2020\, before joining the philosophy dep
 artment at Stockholm University. In 2025\, I received a Starting Grant fr
 om the European Research Council for a project on collective decision-mak
 ing on future large-scale experiments in cosmology and astrophysics. My C
 ambridge Element\, [i]Philosophy of Cosmology and Astrophysics[/i]\, was 
 published in 2025.
