Here's a short piece on de-extinction that just came out in Ethics, Policy, & Environment: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/DKVRV...

Years ago I published a short review of an environmental ethics anthology. Just jot a notice that my old book review has been cited in a paper in the journal *AI & Ethics.* So I looked up that paper. The authors clearly thought they were citing the book I was reviewing. I'm guessing they used AI 😂

A few of us philosophers with hot takes on the news about "dire wolves." (I didn't come up with the "Game of Clones" title, but I kind of like it.)

Am I the only one who still writes their own recommendation letters for students? Is everyone else using AI?

Meta has apparently used 18 of my publications, without permission, to train its AI. This is theft of intellectual property.

Recently I Zoomed in to participate in one of Adrian Currie's seminars at Exeter and one of the seminar participants followed up with some wonderful interview questions on aesthetics and science #HPS #Philsci exeternotion.press/2025/03/14/5...

Need something to watch today that *isn't* the U.S. presidential inauguration? Try these hidden YouTube gems! Featuring Alfred Wegener, J. Tuzo Wilson, Fred Vine, Stephen Jay Gould, Adolf Seilacher, and the Venus-was-once-a-comet guy, Immanuel Velikovsky www.extinctblog.org/extinct/2025...

I've been on the lookout for interesting examples of challenging environmental art, and someone shared this one: "The Black Gold Tapestry," by Sandra Sawatzky. And it's got dinosaurs! www.theblackgoldtapestry.com

Another book recommendation for #HPS ers: I learned some new stuff from Caroline Winterer's fantastic book, "How the New World Became Old." Anyone who likes to geek out on 19th century geology will love this & It's got beautiful images and plates. press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Book Recommendation: Lulu Miller's "Why Fish Don't Exist." It's got interesting history of science, some philosophy of biology, some memoir, and some murder mystery, all woven together. HPS folks might enjoy it! www.simonandschuster.com/books/Why-Fi...

In case you missed it: here is Kelle Dhein's wonderful discussion of George Gaylord Simpson's posthumously published sci-fi/time travel/dinosaur novella, The Dechronization of Sam Magruder. Or: the umwelt of a paleontologist... www.extinctblog.org/extinct/2024...
