Looking forward to be participating at a workshop entitled “Forecasting Rare and Severe Events: Behaviour, Verification, and Judgment” at St Andrews organised by Ian Durbach from the Stats Department—wildly interdisciplinary event. This will be fun

Fourteen excellent new papers up at Imprint, including this paper by Anthony Reeves on the moral importance of due process, as well as papers by @neilwwilliams.bsky.social,
@devinsanchezcurry.com,
@frankphilosophy.bsky.social, @andrewyuanlee.bsky.social and many more.

Great paper by Xintong Wei a former Postdoc on our varieties of risk project on the symmetry thesis in a reason-based normative framework.

Professional Update: I have decided to accept an offer ('Ruf') from the @unisalzburg.bsky.social starting 02/2026. I’m really 'chuffed’ and grateful having been offered the opportunity to join such a great department and also excited to relocate to this beautiful area of Austria

Had a great three days in Lisbon with great talks at the Commemorating #Frege conference. Huge thanks to the organisers Bruno and Joan who managed to host the event in the beautiful Academy ofScience building. I have to come back.

Do I know anyone in Amsterdam who could take our dog for 21 days. No joke. Somewhat desperate situation.

Finished with my talk at the General Assembly of the European Avalanche Warning Services. Time to address my swim-work balance at Hotel Seggauberg in Styria…

Is anyone using LeChat and how does it compare to ChatGPT?

It be amazing if the EU and individual European countries would invest now more into education. It is a very opportune time.

For philosophers and interdisciplinary researchers working on #risk, this CfP for a collection with the journal Synthese might be of interest: link.springer.com/collections/...

A good quote from the economist: ‘officials set the tariffs using a formula that takes America’s bilateral trade deficit as a share of goods imported from each country and halves it—which is almost as random as taxing you on the number of vowels in your name.’

Really excited to see this paper published (and in such a cool journal). The research was “triggered” by a conversation with avalanche forecasters and evolved into a cool interdisciplinary project. #avalanche #riskcommunication

A great and challenging paper by @dariomortini.bsky.social identifying a “folk conceptual gap between the subject matter of these experimental studies and the conceptual repertoire we can reasonably expect lay people to possess" — a (supposed) gap that applies to my earlier work. go.shr.lc/41naOx1

Just went to a talk about REF2029. It was suggested that REF 2029 is an exercise that presents itself as channeling the spirit of Ted Lasso but in fact is just a form of Hunger Games.

Not far off in my view.
