Honoured to see my book on Aristotle's ontology of artefacts appearing and being discussed in Phronesis' Book Notes from 2022 to 2026. Beyond honoured to see it after David Charles' simply unmatchable work.

My paper "Aristotle on the Role of Attention in the Conflict between Friendship and Politics" has just come out in this volume edited by Kristin Sampson and Oda Tvedt. I have to thank them for encouraging me to think and write about things that matter in life, like friendship and politics.

I am forever impressed with women who, during pregnancy, learn a new skill; that’s not uncommon. I only learned how to sleep even harder.

I enjoyed being pregnant so much that I could read these fragments attributed to Democritus with delight. But I do not recommend reading them while expecting.

Fresh off the press! A paper in a wonderful volume edited by Peter Adamson @histphilosophy.bsky.social and Miira Tuominen ("Animals in Greek, Arabic, and Latin Philosophy"). This has been the most fun I had in writing a paper, as it combines my favourite topics: Aristotle, animals, and artefacts.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

I really hope everything beautiful and good is preserved in some Platonic realm of Forms, just in case Trump destroys all the copies.
