I don't have anyone to recommend comparable to the philosophers you mentioned; however, I will point you towards Massimo Pigliucci. He has earned Ph.D.'s in science and philosophy. I enjoy Massimo's commentary because he's vocal about getting academia out of the ivory tower, abhors pseudo science, and discards what I'll call 'useless' philosophy.
His now defunct, but archived Rationally Speaking site.

His newer Scientia Salon site.

The Wiki link above contains a list of his books. I recently borrowed Answers for Aristotle, but have yet to start it. I have read some of his previous work which are really compilations of what you can find at the Rationally Speaking site.
For me, Massimo does a great job of synthesizing philosophy and science.
