PAPER OUT NOW! Zeb Jamrozik, George Heriot and I argue doctors should prescribe shorter courses of antibiotics: longer treatments usually offer no additional benefit while increasing harms to patients and public health. Read it in AJOB www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Public Engagement Alert! 🚨🎤😄 I gave a talk at Reuben College's 'Dining with Dinosaurs' seminar series this week, where I got 100+ people chatting over dinner about whether we should pursue human enhancement, risking making 'Frankenstein's Babies'.

New paper out! Check it out for how we should use the terms 'coercion' and 'solidarity' and how they played out during the pandemic. Are they really normative terms? We think not. Dis/agree? Write an OPC response! See AJOB for details. w/ Safura Abdool Karim, Diego S Silva. doi.org/10.1080/1526...
