Sometimes I get a bit despondent about academia, but then I meet people doing fascinating work and it lifts my Soul™. Met a mycologist doing amazing research, which reminded me why I love this field, and I was invited to a symposium on whether sex should stay central in mycology! (🤞its accepted)

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪 Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students. I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

I am quite excited to share a new preprint on the prospects for a 'metaphilosophy of science'—a second-order inquiry into the concepts, assumptions, aims, and methods that underpin philosophy of science itself. 👇📃

Ive been reading public facing books around my research topic lately. I enjoyed this provocatively titled book (Bitch by Lucy Cooke). Butters, my rabbit, also gave it a 5/5… by trying to eat it. 🐇📚

What happens when the old contract between science and society no longer fits? This week, Prof. Heather Douglas unpacks the legacy of the value-free ideal, examines research ethics & funding — and proposes a new social contract for science. This was an illuminating conversation. Listen now! 🎧

Not at ISH this year sadly, but my disembodied Zoom face will live on explaining why Marc Ereshefsky’s species eliminativism changed how I think about pluralism and classification, May 23rd! Really happy I was able to talk about it. Check it out if you can!

Hi folks! I’ll be graduating soon and wrapping up my time at UC Davis in September. I’m currently looking for work, so if you know of any openings or leads I’d be grateful if you passed them my way. Especially if it's in research, writing, editing, or policy work. Thanks so much!

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

I think it’s important to draw attention to small acts of courage and dissent (like this NYT ad and the message from the VT ski resort social media manager) that remind people of the range of possibilities for standing up, speaking out, and fighting back.

Yes, there have long been discussions about sex as a spectrum, not a binary. This is not new. Here's my review of a book about the medieval debate.

As a heads-up, “Price Gouging” is legally defined as raising the price of a thing (here, rent) by more than 10% over the pre-event price. If you see that happening in LA via, say, Zillow or somewhere, you can report it there, or(inclusive or) list it here:

The cool thing about philosophy conferences is they give you a taste of what it would be like to live in a walkable place near friends and people with similar interests with the leisure time to get to know people & think about stuff together all day.

Sometimes I’m writing about pluralism and thinking deeply about contextual variation in language. At other times I’m explaining to a guest that the jeans they bought 25 years ago are no longer available in the dye they want and getting yelled at. Life is a fantastic blend of experiences.
