The Nobel Peace Prize recipient is a far right extremist, not a "democracy advocate" 🤬

It's crazy how the media are presenting a march organised by neo-nazis, led by neo-nazis, with neo-nazi speakers, as a neo-nazi thing. So now one can no longer be a racist and hate people of colour without being labelled a neo-nazi?
This woke nonsense has to stop!

New paper out!📑🧑🏻🎓🎉
My article "Synthetic Biology as a Postmodern Technology of Care" is now in NanoEthics.
I show how synbio is a political practice of care, creatng "docile bodies" in non-human organisms to tackle global challenges.

Hey #philsky #philtech #envhum people: my paper (co-authored with Kian Mintz-Woo) on Carbon Dioxide Removal and just transition is out and open access!
Our point is simple: CDR can be part of a just transition, and the moral hazard framing is not conducive to more justice.

Engineering microbes to soak up more carbon, boost crop yields and restore former farmland is appealing. But synthetic biology fixes must be done thoughtfully
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has awarded its Peace Prize to far-right Venezuelan politician, Maria Corina Machado.
A towering figure in Venezuelan politics, Machado was a leader in the U.S.-backed 2002 coup that briefly deposed President Hugo Chavez.
