I really dislike Cofnas and feel sad about Arday's death. But we urgently need to uphold stronger norms of scientific independence from political vibes, left and right, across our Western democracies. I signed this petition: x.com/sapinker/sta...

This is a genuinely difficult question. On the one hand, Confas is a bad faith actor. On the other hand, he raised points that had truth to them. To me, the fact he’s a racist meant he shouldn’t have had the job in the first place. Punishing him after the fact, raises different, complicated issues.

Disappointing to see academics at Brunel university don’t understand what Academic Freedom means.

TIL that I'm a "morally vacuous Nazi who is on a multiday crashout after facilitating the death of a Black academic" from a fellow academic on bsky who didn't like the open letter I signed. This seems like a nice, well-functioning social media website facilitating free exchange of ideas.
