Just published: Coherence as a Constraint on Scientific Inquiry, Synthese (with @martinjustin.bsky.social).

A page from Henry James' The Bostonians (1886).

I now have a pet theory about Trump doing well among young men: apparently, investing in the stock market makes you more right-wing and young people, especially men, are now much more likely to invest as in 2015.

Happy to share that my first PhD student Martin Justin has just published his paper, solo-authored and in his first year, in Episteme! He offers a sharp and timely defense of conciliationism in the peer disagreement debate. See link for details.
