I am currently out of the philosophy department on parental leave. if this inquiry is about classes for next semester, please email the chair of the department. if your inquiry is about the nature or existence of the external world, please consult René Descartes' work
Just got the best out-of-office message I've ever seen from a fellow academic:
"I am currently away on leave. If this is an emergency... well, I doubt it. What could possibly be an emergency in my line of work?"

My opinion piece in @statnews.com.
I often encounter people with serious mental illness on complex psychotropic regimen simply because they or their prescriber experience regulatory barriers to considering a trial of clozapine. www.statnews.com/2025/02/13/c...

The FDA must remove an unnecessary barrier to the use of clozapine for treatment-resistant schizophrenia
If the FDA follows an advisory committee’s vote, it can potentially be a transformative step in the delivery of mental health care in this country.

I'm on service in the MICU this week, a place that is defined by a huge outlay of resources for what is often a small chance of saving one life. Just thinking about what's happened to USAID – arguably one of the best ROI you could ever hope to achieve in human health and flourishing? – is very hard.
