Giselle at the Garden! Marianela Nunez replaces Natalia Osipova, but I’ll take it.
What can’t money buy? 🔈
In this episode of Crossing Channels, @annaalexandrova.bsky.social and @lfitouchi.bsky.social talk to Richard Westcott about the limits of markets and what happens when economic reasoning meets moral values.

Oh yes, I remember loving it too. It gave me all sorts of exciting ideas about what to do with the enormous folder "Letters of Recommendation" on my computer. Except the protagonist's letters are so much livelier and funnier than mine.
New paper! I investigate cases where experts tacitly encode value judgments into their public pronouncements, and examine the complications this presents for the rationality of deference to experts, with a particular focus on pandemic policy. (1/2)

Thanks Andreas! No, I am ok with moral limits on markets. It's just very clear that financial resources can causally affect wellbeing via better infrastructure, public health, urban design, etc.
Thank you for the platform! I don't like the phrase 'money can't buy x' (for any x), it's just too vague and not true when taking literally. It was great to juxtapose the ideas abt wellbeing @markfabian.bsky.social and I have been developing with those of @lfitouchi.bsky.social and moral psychology.

Is the system you describe necessarily dodgy? Recently I was such a guest editor whose submission was handled by EiC and ended up being rejected fair and square.
Philosophers! I am now eligible to act as a supervisor for Marie Curie fellowships at the University of Vienna. If you’re interested in applying for one, you can find the details here: careers.univie.ac.at/en/research-...
Adorable and stylish! Lucky you. My family only has a couple (in between soujourns in Gulag) but I cherish them.
amazing, Owen! Stay strong and keep going
Craig Callender, the unreformable Humean, reviews Loewer’s book with lots of cooking and home improvement metaphors. Both delightful and informative #philsci #philsky
Why I think, in the current A.I. moment, we should be reading Paul Churchland. #philsky #philsci

Oh Matt, reading this was unexpectedly moving. I actually remember this material in his grad seminar on learning (2001?!). Thank you for writing this! You are absolutely right on the value of Paul’s conceptual resources today.

At my college. An old fellow passed away and left his collection of ancient leatherbound volumes, lots of Hume. I stood over them for a while inhaling the smell...
Lucky you! I can’t think of a better way to spend time than this
Came across some holy texts today
I recently added an entry on the @eenphilsci.bsky.social blog: a bit of my story from early international experiences to my current work on coherence and reasoning, and what it’s like building philosophy of science here in Central & Eastern Europe.

Our co-edited volume with @abbeaberdeen.bsky.social and Marcel Jaspars is out: academic.oup.com/book/62270#l... (hardback to follow). Our ch 2 is OA academic.oup.com/book/62270/c.... We discuss how to better integrate local knowledge into ocean governance esp #BBNJ implementation.
Important and interesting indeed! You go @vmywang.bsky.social
Next week! Conference: To Be or Not To Be Included in a Causal Model
Register on our website: https://www.centerphilsci.pitt.edu/event/to-be-or-not-to-be-included-in-a-causal-model/ #philsci #philosophyconference #philosophyofscience
We conceived this series to put into words the experience of #philsci researchers from Eastern n Central Europe. There are 2 entries from @boruttrpin.bsky.social and @danielkostic.bsky.social Thanks to both! These are stories of success and resilience, but read about the darker sides too and learn.
Mental health has several disciplinary homes. Yet members from different homes seldom meet. With Johanna, we decided to make these meetings more frequent at Cambridge with the Bridging Mental Health Network. Room has been brimming at our two talks

Thanks to @adigitaltanay.bsky.social and Johanna Silva-Stueger for organising this important network. Check out their other videos and subscribe to their channel
Sebastian Rodriguez and I gave an inaugural talk for a new interdisciplinary network on mental health research in Cambridge. #philsci #philmed #philsky #mentalhealth
A useful thought, Brian. There is a tradeoff b/w building a support system for publishing (what Kareem is trying to do) and pushing boundaries in journals. But ultimately such a list is like answering a q from a grad student 'where should I send this paper?'. 'Anywhere' is rarely a helpful reply.
Definitely. And the JEM
