Today I discovered a great set of BPA resources for early-career philosophers on publishing, grants/fellowships, and job apps, with loads of sample materials like cover letters, research statements, etc.

Do share with those who might find these useful!

If you’re interested in practicing the philosophy of science in practice why not come along to an online workshop “the philosophy of science in practice - in practice”? #philsci

Tonight's full moon rise over Moon Island

A full moon rising over a small rounded island at sunset looking east with the pastel pink "belt of Venus" haze in the sky & reflected in the smooth sea. In the foreground is a sandbar made mostly of black pebbles & dark mussel shells with a few dots of white clam & oyster shells mixed in like stars in a night sky.

A tangerine colored sunset sky with a glowing sun sitting on the horizon over the sea. The viewer is standing on the edge of a curvaceous shoreline, with wine-dark waves undulating in and out along the beach. Cape Cod tonight

Twilight orange sky tonight on a dark sandy beach with light & dark ripples and a meandering stream left by the tide retreatung out to sea. A silhouette of a woman's figure is visible with the wet sand reflecting the orange sky behind her. Cape Cod

Happy to be on the RealOrganic podcast, with #DaveChapman.
Left, right, or center, we should all be concerned about the monopolization of food, and its relation to pesticide overuse, exploited labor, climate change. (Not to mention food that just tastes like crap...)

🔌 What’s a wuzzle? To #WHOI engineers, it’s a mess of tangled cords and wires. While it doesn’t hold an official spot in the dictionary, experts say it originated as a verb meaning “to jumble…”
