Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Om detta är ”enorm förstörelse” så har vi nog inga meningsfulla beskrivningar kvar för Gaza.

Jag vet inte om detta är olämpligt men GUD VA BEDÅRANDE

Great meeting everyone at the 5th history and philosophy of physics NL workshop. Below Robert van Leeuwen, Leah Henderson and Richard Dawid giving great talks about realism and string theory.

Detta system är alive and well i Nederländerna och kallas kraamsorg! Vi skulle få hjälp med hushållet men pga störda gick vi upp tidigt och städade och bakade bröd för att någon skulle komma hem till oss.

During the process of writing a paper featuring data on the global funding for Dark Matter research, and thought I could make inforgraphics of it as well. Here for North American funding.

All info about history & philosophy of physics in the Netherlands (courses, events, scholars) is now conveniently available in one place: hpp-nl.nl @rcnp-nijmegen.bsky.social @isis-radboud.bsky.social @sjangtenhagen.bsky.social @eu-phil-cosmo.bsky.social @leviatan.bsky.social @rbwille.bsky.social

The art of the possible!

Earlier this week, I gave the inaugural talk for the Utrecht philosophy of astrophysics and cosmology colloquium. It’s a great time for #philsci in The Netherlands, and I’m excited about what’s coming!
