In the beginning of my PhD I gave my first international conference talk on causality at the Kent philosophy department. The people I met there and the kind of work I witnessed have deeply shaped my research since. It is infuriating to see it shut down the way it was done.

We are holding a workshop to celebrate the achievements of the Kent philosophy department and to mark its demise. In person or online. All welcome! jonwilliamson.uk/conferences/...

Deadline extended to June 30th. Send us your papers on topics at the intersection of bioethics and political philosophy.

Nature published a Letter to the Editor from me! I respond to their news feature on how to make scientific career meaningful, which focused too much on impact. Very glad to be heard with my plug for three #philsci themes: understanding, social role of expertise, duties of scientists to each other.

Mostly tips on how to have impact, a whole section dedicated to effective altruism on choosing what to research. Absolutely nothing on the awe of knowledge, the satisfaction of understanding, the duty of being an expert in a democracy, the joy of supporting the new generation of scientists. #scipol
