I feel like the time since I pre-ordered this book and the time that it's scheduled to arrive has gone so slowly, almost expansively. I just wish I could read an accessible intro to a philosophy that could explain this....

Some personal news: I'm delighted to share that starting this fall, I will be joining the department of history at University College London as Lecturer in Environmental History! (*Lecturer ~= Assistant Professor in the US!)

Ethnographers (and any other folks who do fieldwork-based research): which book(s) would you assign so that those who read them will feel the passion of undertaking fieldwork ignite? Any and all recommendations welcome.

What are expectations for ROI at a VC firm? x50 would be high, yes?

Very much enjoying *The plurality of evidence and causality in economics* organised by Mariusz Maziarz in Krakow. Next up: Federica Russo

Friends, the time has come, I'm looking for a PostDoc. If you hear of any positions (ideally in Europe/UK, starting next fall) that could be a good fit for a philosopher of chemistry, let me know!
