I really enjoyed recording this episode of The Human Podcast. We talked about my research and my journey through academia so far. You can check it out below! youtu.be/Hm6knClxaqY?...

Shot, chaser Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

For various reasons I've not had the most productive summer, but as the new term fast approaches I feel myself getting back into the swing of things and gearing up for the year ahead!

It is a delight to share that my new book 'Decoding the Cosmos: God, Physics, and the Search for Deeper Explanation' is now available for pre-order! wipfandstock.com/978166678565...

I find it very disheartening that however hard you try to create pockets of joy, supportiveness, and collaboration, the competitive and toxic nature of academia sometimes finds a way to seep through. I wish there was a way to fundamentally change this ugly aspect of academic life.

Just pre-ordered my copy of Tim Middleton's 'Witnessing a Wounded World' - can't wait to read it! fordhampress.com/witnessing-a...

Its an honour to have been awarded the International Society for Science and Religion's 2025 Book Prize for my book 'Salvation in the Block Universe' I am so grateful to the ISSR and to everyone who supported me as I wrote the book! www.issr.org.uk/issr-stateme...

It’s important to remember cisgender women getting hurt by this is a feature not a bug as it both makes trans women fearful of existing in public and signals to cis women how they must act to be protected by the state.

It's been six months since the publication of my book 'Salvation in the Block Universe' - although it's a tad pricey, anyone with institutional access can download it for free If you've read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts! www.cambridge.org/core/books/s...

There's a national firestorm over Bob Vylan's chants about a genocidal army. Rather than about the mass butchery of innocent people. It is depraved, it is grotesque, it is beyond shameful. New column about the world turned on its head 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What's astonishing about this is that "violence against a military force currently shelling civilians at food distribution points in the occupied territory they have been starving out" becomes equivalent to "calling for a genocide". It's just an insane moral reversal of the actual situation.

Cambridge in the summer is absolutely beautiful

In 1975, when Animal Liberation was published, I thought that simply telling people about the cruelty of factory farming would lead to meaningful change. But 50 years on, I’ve had to reckon with a difficult truth: facts alone are rarely enough.

Last week I spoke at a conference for sixth formers on the question 'Is God Dead in the 21st Century?' - I argued for atheism, of course. It was such a pleasure to meet so many bright, engaged, teenagers who are hoping to study philosophy and/or theology and religion at university!

A couple of years ago I co-hosted a series of Faith at the Frontiers on 'Science and Religion' with my colleague Barney Aspray - anyone interested can find the episodes below: faithatthefrontiers.com/series/3-sci...

Great episode on BBC Arts and Ideas on science and religion. With @nickebs.bsky.social, @philipcball.bsky.social, and @emilyqureshihurst.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

There's nothing quite so daunting as opening up Word and staring at a blank page at the beginning of a new book project

I am delighted to share that I've signed a contract with ‪‪@reaktionbooks.bsky.social‬ for my fourth book, 'Our Many Lives in the Multiverse' In the book I'll be examining the Many-Worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics and exploring what it means for selves, society, and God. Watch this space!

Teaching him theology

Really looking forward to launching my book in Cambridge tomorrow - do come along!

I am so sick of seeing edited volumes being published that don't include chapters written by women. Editors should be mindful of this! Stop excluding female voices from the conversation.

Last night's book launch for 'Salvation in the Block Universe' in the Theology Faculty at Oxford. It was wonderful to see so many of my old colleagues there, and to be introduced by my brilliant D.Phil supervisor Professor Alister McGrath!

We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself. - Prof. Brian Cox

Thoroughly enjoyed reading Henrique Mata de Vasconcelos's recent article 'The Face, the Body, and Virtual Showcases' We need more philosophers and theologians engaging with social media! www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/16...

I've taken a day to digest yesterday's supreme court ruling & I still don't have words to express the heaviness it fills me with. Banning trans women from changing rooms & toilets won't help anyone. Trans women are not a threat cis women. Sending love and solidarity to by trans siblings everywhere

This new Supreme Court ruling does not protect women. It protects a 'barbie doll' image of what women should be. Let me explain: I was born female. I have female genitals. It says female on my Birth Certificate. I am one of the 'women' this ruling is meant to protect. 🧵

Really looking forward to my book launch in Cambridge next month!

Dr.Emily Qureshi-Hurst joins us in Brighton, 7:30pm tonight, as she uncovers whether religion and science can co-exist or are they doomed to fight it out forever. The answer will have significant implications for many of the biggest problems facing society today. @emilyqureshihurst.bsky.social

I'm delighted to share the first article from an upcoming special issue of Zygon I'm editing on 'Religion and Contemporary Crises' 'Faces of the Peaceable God. Religious Imaginaries & The Challenge of Peace in Colombia' by Dr Eduardo Gutierrez Gonzalez www.zygonjournal.org/article/id/1...

The paperback of my comedian’s guide to autism is out today! I get about a message a day saying the book helped them understand their husband/wife/child/parent or even that they have recommended the book to their client/teaching establishment! I’d appreciate any shares! ❤️ 👉🏻 geni.us/pierrenovell...

Heading off on a fleeting visit to York to give a talk about my new book 'Salvation in the Block Universe'

I'm having a book launch for 'Salvation in the Block Universe.' Cambridge colleagues, please join me on 7th May in the faculty of divinity, details below: www.interfaith.cam.ac.uk/events/book-...

For the THIRD time, I am doing the bibliography for an entire book BY HAND because I am simply not willing to learn how referencing software works. WHY am I like this.

Turned 30 yesterday surrounded by the most amazing people, feeling very lucky

I'm giving a lecture in Brighton! 'Science and Religion: are they really at war?' www.brighthink.org/brightalks/s...

Getting the veg garden started 🤓

Recently I've been thinking a lot about personal identity and the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. I've been working on an article in which I explore the idea that our identities are fundamentally narrative in nature, which was accepted over the weekend. Can't wait to share it soon!

A constructive, kind, and minimal review report from reviewer 2??? I have been blessed

Ever wondered what the physics and metaphysics of time might mean for Christian doctrine? Can understanding time render religion obsolete? In my new book, I address this topic in detail.. www.cambridge.org/core/books/s...

My co-author wants a raise

Really looking forward to participating in this later this week - I'll be discussing Ryan Mullins' book 'From Divine Timemaker to Divine Watchmaker'

Just finished delivering a lecture course on 'creation'. We covered a whole range of topics all the way from the big bang, through evolution and our moral responsibility towards other animals and our planetary home, and whether scientific accounts of the end of the world can disprove theology
