An inspiring time in London at a @wellcometrust.bsky.social workshop on the ethics of predictive modelling for health. Grateful for rich discussions (esp. in mental health), insights from Drs. Ruth Faden & Erica Thompson + others. Glad I got to draw upon @mdmccradden.bsky.social's work!

This looks like the Vladimir Guerrero Jr. we saw in the Minor Leagues, back in 2017-’19, when he was overwhelming pitchers.
It’s so, so rare to see a hitter be in control of an at-bat, not a pitcher. This is the best I’ve ever seen Guerrero play. #BlueJays

Popular Music after 1945. It gave me a deep appreciation of the historical and cultural relevance of artists like Chuck Berry and his contemporaries, as well as insight into the brilliant songwriting and production of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys.

I invariably get, "Ooh anthro that was my favorite class/cool professor" from people I meet. I tend to think soms of it is our outré material, being willing to talk "taboo" subjects in a cross-cultural context.
