'Don't let your education get in the way of your learning' - Mark Twain

Reading complex topics needs percolation, or Virginia Woolfe would say, ‘waiting for the dust of the reading to settle’

If more subjects set coursework as interesting as this I think we would have more enthusiastic markers

I’ve joined a research team where nobody uses a reference management software. I have found my tribe.

I have made my contribution to knowledge

it just makes sense sometimes I guess

On Poetry, Research Complexity, and Tariffs The world as it could be: curious, bold, interconnected. And the obstacles standing in the way.

Congratulations! Passed mine a month ago, it’s a good feeling 🥹

On today of all days, with Princeton now in the Trump administration's crosshairs, I taught my undergraduates about standpoint epistemology, strong objectivity, and communities of knowledge.

On how our unique perspectives as individuals don't threaten the scientific project. They strengthen it.

Go youuuu

Science Has Left Earth The sciences have taken their cue from the art of making and fabricating, but they no...

“Framed as a push for ‘neutrality’, Trump-era policies are not just defunding certain kinds of research — they are stripping science of its connection to real lives. When science stops serving society, it stops being progress.”

Being an academic is asking for a meeting in March, getting back a response in April to arrange a meeting for May.

My two favourite things in the world are: sleep and coffee. The tragedy is: the two are anti-thesis to each other.

I think I have a problem: Ive just discovered that there’s 500 tab limit to safari

I successfully defended my PhD thesis last Thursday, passed without getting any corrections (except typos), and this Monday I’m still processing the fact that this chapter of my life which was 4.5 years long has come to an end.

It is likely that all of the UK has photosynthesised this weekend.

And on that note, I also spotted the first blossoms of the year.

My exceedingly talented co-editor writes about how 'our scientific culture, which claims to be fully objective, constantly relies on creativity and interpretation' in one of the best 🍏 Sunday Reads the @scholarlyletter.bsky.social has published so far.

It's worth 10 mins of your time.

Science Has an Imagination Problem We continue to be haunted by the ghosts of scientific past.
