I've been working on two philosophical projects this month. The first has been an interaction with Jim Peebles (Princeton) around a paper he has been writing, setting down his philosophy of physics. I am pretty aligned with his position, which I expect to hit the arXiv soon. I'm not a co-author of that. But one of the interesting things about science is how much of our work in in anonymous (or quasi-anonymous) support of others.
The second philosophical project is a paper about machine learning and science: I am trying to set down my thoughts about how ML can and can't help the sciences. This is fundamentally a philosophy-of-science question, not a science question.
