Ethics consulting: where moral clarity meets invoice formatting. You don’t need a gun — just citations, plausible deniability, and the ability to explain Kant to a CEO who thinks “transparency” is a branding strategy.

Leadership in universities depends on more than formal authority. Much of what keeps institutions running is less visible: care, judgment, and taking responsibility when decisions cannot be deferred. "The Castle Runs on Invisible Work" is now available open access in English and French.

Bioethicists may not make the final decision, but we still shape which problems are visible, which options seem reasonable, and what institutions can defend as legitimate. The challenge is not to deny that power, but to exercise it without turning expertise into moral authority.

Writing creates possibilities. Editing gives them form. A reflection on why I've come to enjoy not only writing, but also the craft of shaping journal articles, blog posts, and books—and why editing is part of thinking itself.

Bioethics grows at boundaries — not by defending borders, but by building scaffolds and bridges. Bioethics becomes real through codesign and dialogue -- in this case, anthropology. If your field lacks “its ethics,” start building it. #Bioethics #Interdisciplinary

If my career no longer depends on writing BrynStorming, why do I keep doing it? A reflection on academic freedom, self-publishing, and how creativity became more enjoyable once it stopped being an obligation.

Bioethics cannot become genuinely global by exporting finished North American frameworks. It needs multiple centres, reciprocal critique, and traditions willing to be changed by the contexts they enter. The goal is not a new orthodoxy, but a field plural enough that no one speaks for everyone.

I deleted fifteen completed and scheduled blog posts, and felt relieved rather than defeated. A reflection on productivity, creative constraints, and why not every finished text needs to be published.

The Committee of Eternal Deliberation is now available open access in PDF/EPUB. A short satirical book on committees, procedures, reports, platforms, and the university’s remarkable capacity to delay decisions while documenting the process.
