This looks interesting!

What does it take to afford a writing career? For our latest issue, we asked seven writers about the side gigs or full-time jobs they’ve taken on—waiting tables, watching for forest fires, cuddling lonely strangers, and more. thebaffler.com/odds-and-end...

Really looking forward to this!

So excited to promote this open access book, including the chapter by @abigailnd.bsky.social, Jan Baedke and me. But also so much more interesting reads!

In Picturing Grief / the exhibition, six artists respond to our Grief Survey. Running during #DyingMattersWeek (4-10 May) in collaboration with Projecting Grief. Info: www.projectinggrief.com/pg-exhibition @hrcyork.bsky.social @uoyphilosophy.bsky.social @hospiceuk.bsky.social

So excited to be speaking in a few weeks at what promises to be an extremely cool event on ‘Rewilding the Web’! My talk is called ‘Beyond Self-Organisation: Libertarian Ecologies, Right and Left’. In this talk…

If you're within striking distance of York, the 'Picturing Grief' exhibition runs until Sunday 10 May at Thin Ice Press. Six artists respond to work on grief from the AHRC Grief Project @uoyphilosophy.bsky.social @hrcyork.bsky.social at the University of York projectinggrief.com/pg-exhibition

On Friday afternoon before the Bank Holiday, colleagues in the Humanities department were called to a meeting on Tuesday. They were informed that the University Portfolio Review had decided that English Language, English Literature, Philosophy, History & Creative Writing UG degrees would close

Delighted to wake up to an extremely generous review of my book in @thebjps.bsky.social by Tiffani Thomason and @wileyprof.bsky.social. “Playing Possum is detailed, funny, and probably the closest a dense philosophical work can get to being called a page turner.”

Just a reminder that you can still register to this ISPSM event with Jakob Hohwy and Kathryn Nave

New paper 🚨 "Cultural evolution – of the arts". Together with @masonyoungblood.bsky.social we wrote a short paper – half essay, half bibliometric analysis – aiming to describe this emerging research area (1/3) doi.org/10.1017/ehs....

Registrations are still open for our Beyond Neuro-compuationalism workshop in Antwerp (4/5 of June). You can check our stellar line-up of speaker and register here www.uantwerpen.be/en/research-... #philmind #philsci #philsky #philpsy #neurosky #neuroskyence

Also challenges the gendered associations of knotting and knitting by showing how such practices inspired Scottish male mathematicians like Tait, Maxwell and Thomson #hps #histsci

Those into theoretical biology, may be interested in this CCS satellite. @ricardsole.bsky.social @manlius.bsky.social sites.google.com/binghamton.e...

Hi! My first paper is out in Philosophical Psychology (@journalphp.bsky.social), co-authored with Laura Nuño de la Rosa 😁 "The Functional Ambivalence of Mental Symptoms: Organizational and Temporal Dimensions of Dysfunction in Enactive Psychiatry" www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Neuromatch has been denied our Office of Foreign Assets Control "Iran license" renewal. We had renewed successfully before, but now our request is “inconsistent with current U.S. foreign policy.” I am absolutely gutted by this denial.

Women I spoke to recently doing innovative theoretical work have been discouraged by colleagues with power to apply for grants and ERC just announced recently they won't be allowing junior people the same chances as before. Killing academia through their own decisions. erc.europa.eu/news-events/...

I help organising this year's MESEC summer workshop - and I think it's going to be exciting !!! Do join 😊

Scrivener!! Old fashioned software philosophy. Pay once to have the software. Done. 30 days of use free trial. Plus it's made by people who use the software for it's intended purpose, not CEOs telling engineeers what users want. www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/ov...

To accompany my textbook (Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience) and the class I taught this semester, I'm open-sourcing my lectures slides: gershmanlab.com/lectures.html I'll continue to update these as I improve them.

I reviewed On the Future of Species by Adrian Woolfson for @thelancet.com. Adrian has now responded to my review here. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

@socphilneuro.bsky.social is offering a seminar series that's free to SPAN members! Anyone can become a SPAN member, so anyone can join the seminars! register here: philandneuro.org

Hard agree with rimidar on this. In fact, nothing has discredited wistful conservativism more to me than seeing people start to do it about times I lived through. Yeah the n64 was pretty dope when I was 10 years old, I guess; don't really think that should drive our immigration policy tho you loser.

Kyle Fruh, Alfred Archer, and I are writing The Ethics of Sportswashing (Routledge) and are running a workshop on the book manuscript at Glasgow University and online, on May 21st 2026. There is more information about the workshop and how to register here: philevents.org/event/show/1...

Really enjoyed chatting about a Drive to Survive with Carrie Figdor for the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social and @mitpress.bsky.social podcast! newbooksnetwork.com/kathryn-nave...

Nice to see that philosophers complained about each other's style at least as far back as Socrates and Heraclit - and with much the same arguments, too

Last day to submit your abstract :) #philsky #philpsy #neurosky #neuroskyence

So, deleted Substack and have moved my subscription to Beehiiv. My domain is still my home: christianmooreanderson.com Beehiiv will do subscription newsletters for new posts. If you're interested/invested in substack, it's worth translating this post: www.viernesenkiribati.com/p/la-mierdif...

Patricia Churchland's advice to @felipedebrigard.bsky.social www.whatisitliketobeaphilosopher.com#/felipe-de-b...

New paper out in Adaptive Behavior! On why cognitive scientists need a better account of purposive of behaviour, why cybernetics and dynamical systems won't do the trick, and how biological autonomy might. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Would appreciate advice from any later stage postdoc researchers who have navigated this gap

Many UK research grants, which are advertised as open to external applicants (e.g. @ukri.org's research grants & future leaders) are implicitly closed to those without a permanent position. But if you're +3y post-Phd, you're no longer eligible for early career grants either... 🤷‍♀️

In his new book, @romainbrette.bsky.social pushes back against theories that describe the brain as a “biological computer.” In this excerpt, he challenges equating brain evolution with programming, and the universality of neural network models. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...

Please join us for this fantastic double-book symposium on @hohwy.bsky.social's and @kathrynnave.eurosky.social's books. Register here for the link: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

London Centric's investigation into tax-evading gift shops hosted by Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital kept finding Edinburgh connections. Hard to justify spending subscribers' cash on that so I texted Michael at the @edinburghminute.com and he covered the cost of reporting the Scottish angle. Now 🎺.

The CFA is still open (until the 13th of April) :)
