In conversation with @salloch.bsky.social in AJOB on planetary health research ethics: J. Beever & I argue for a conception of health beyond the human-health-centric frame. Ad Planetam per Aspera! 🌍 #researchethics #environmentalbioethics #bioethics #health www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

In a special issue of The Pluralist (Vol. 21, No. 2), Rebekah Sinclair and @nmorar.bsky.social (@liberalartsosu.bsky.social) advocate for a culturally and epistemically pluralist approach to understanding genetic causation. 📄 on @projectmuse.bsky.social: muse.jhu.edu/pub/34/artic...

One of the joys of collaboration is being pushed to think differently—to expand your imagination, reconsider your assumptions, and tell new stories… in our case about land, clay and genetic causation. That's what we tried to do in our new paper with Rebekah Sinclair. muse.jhu.edu/pub/34/artic...

Feeling grateful to have wrapped up my research visit at @upf.edu Many thanks to Camil Ungureanu for his generous support and hospitality. It was also such a pleasure to catch up with Amélie Baud & @mireiavallesc.bsky.social. Thank you all for making this such a rewarding visit!

Congratulations to @danlor.bsky.social — The Foucauldian Mind is finally in the world ! A hundred years of Foucault's thought, gathered with such care into one living, breathing volume. www.routledge.com/The-Foucauld...

Somewhere in the quiet exchange between microbe and mind, memory takes shape — not carved alone, but woven by a community too small to see. @acabirol.bsky.social et al. show us that remembering may be a collective act, written in part by microbial hands. Deeply moved ! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Great piece by @kristymferraro.bsky.social and Ann C. Thresher in @pnas.org about why environmental scientists need ethics training more than ever before ! The reverse is also true... humanities folks would also benefit from additional training in environmental sciences. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

A microbial view of life pushes us to rethink our relationship to the smallest living things — and to be more thoughtful about how we harness microbiomes in the built environment. So proud to see this work in print! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Particularly proud to see this paper out as an important & new invitation to think about microbiome stewardship! academic.oup.com/sumbio/advan...

@adrian-currie.bsky.social provides us a beautiful example of what a book review should look like: careful, generous, sharp... and fragile, which makes it worth reading ! Itching now to get to Robert Northcutt's Science for a Fragile World. ndpr.nd.edu/reviews/scie...

Beyond ecstatic to be able to put together this lineup for our little workshop on the Philosophy of Computational Methods in Science. #philsci

Book tour! Come by and help brainstorm how to fight together to protect democracy and make the world more just. @dryan149.bsky.social @mitpress.bsky.social #booksky

Got back to Eugene (OR) after an AMAZING one-year sabbatical in Barcelona… and my Swiss friend, Romain, took me - as a welcome back party - to see the stoner rock/ metal band from Sweden-#DOZER! They played a small venue but- OMG -they still played like there was no tomorrow… what a great band !

Beautiful piece by May R. Berenbaum, Editor-in-Chief @pnas.org , showing how the history of science/ biology can help us to understand our present time and its current challenges when it comes to political interference… www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The 2nd International Congress of Ecological Humanities is officially open ! With the unique @bea-labajos.bsky.social - amazing organizer ! #CIHE @publicpolicycenter.bsky.social

Truly inspiring work on the human microbiome with an eye toward clinical applications... with Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich & @bernatolle.bsky.social ! No better way to close two days at #BCNMicrobiome. Special thanks to the organizers of this event !

A masterclass in human microbiome studies (about the Dutch microbiome and microbiome transmission) with Sasha Zhernakova & @mireiavallesc.bsky.social ! #BCNMicrobiome

And, the learning continues with #BCNMicrobiome - from emulsifier and chronic disease to immune signatures in HIV vaccine responses with Benoit Chassaing & Alessandra Borgognone !

Two more amazing talks with @fasnicar.bsky.social and Johannes Bjork ! #BCNMicrobiome

Great microbiota-brain research timeline - thanks to Jane Foster ! #BarcelonaMicrobiome

Super happy to be here for the Barcelona debates on the human microbiome 2025 : the promise - two amazing days filled with talks, discussions and learning !

#CIHE2025 invites you to reflect on the connections between critical thought, aesthetics, Southern epistemologies, environmental philosophy, commons governance, and ecosocial justice. 🌍✨ 🗓️ June 30 – July 1, 2025 📍 @upf.edu www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MQ3...

As always, an incredibly meaningful podcast with Frédéric Gros about Michel Foucault's Histoire de la folie à l'âge classique !!! #radiofrance #Foucault #madness www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

"A study of federally funded research projects in the United States estimated that principal investigators spend on average about 45% of their time on administrative activities related to applying for and managing projects rather than conducting active research" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

An important read for all microbiome researchers #microbiomania www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

A lovely essay and review of my book by Erik Parens, of the @hastingscenter.bsky.social. Erik disagrees, gently, with the basis for my pessimism about the prospects for genetic explanation of human differences. /1

The good idea comes when one person feels comfortable enough to say something that might make them look stupid and their friend is open enough to recognize its potential.
