@Berlin School of Mind and Brain
For the Spring and Summer 2012 I’m staying in Berlin as a visitor at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain. Considering that I should be working hard on finishing my dissertation, this place is dangerous – a lot going on at the school, and the city itself is a serious source of distraction. Brutal but genuine, gotta love it.
Here’s something I stumbled across last summer: a great causal and statistical reasoning web-course, put together by the people at Carnegie Mellon (open to outsiders through something called OLI). A wonderful hands-on approach to basic statistical inference, and a gentle primer to the bayes networks approach.
serious philosophy
Some serious philosophy in Latvia, July 19-29. ISSCSS summer school on Robert Brandom’s work. Let’s see how it goes, the reading list looks long but promising.
fighting myopia
Staying in Edinburgh for the spring 2010, visiting the philosophy department. Exposure to extended minds and naturalistic phenomenology. Good for the heart.
lost soul
Last week I joined LinkedIn, updated my profile picture in Academia.edu, and eventually thought: what the hell, I’ve sold my soul anyway, why not have a personal webpage. So WordPress it is. No blog though – now, that would be too much.
But in the unlikely case that something worth mentioning happens in my academic life, I’ll put it here. That’s news.
