I am exercising my agency: after a year of waiting for my green card, during which I wasn’t allowed to work, I’ve started a fundraiser to finish my microfic collection on war days in Iran. (See my pinned post for more info). #writingcommunity #authorsofbluesky #flashfiction

Fwd: Research for book project

as you said, it can get more grotesque!

Dear Dr. Hauser,
As you might recall, I emailed you some months ago concerning my research for a book about the
allegations of misconduct in your lab, suggesting that we might talk. You indicated at the time
that until the process is complete, you were unable to speak. I'm writing now in the hope that you
might feel more at ease with talking to me. I'm aware that NIH has not completed their inquiries,
but perhaps you are at liberty to discuss your situation more freely, being no longer at Harvard.
Please let me know what you think. I very much look forward to having the opportunity to talk
with you.
Best regards,
Ski

I'm thrilled to share I've finished the intro for my book, "The Ethics of De-Extinction"!

It tackles the "why" behind this drive—from our guilt over lost species to the Jurassic Park effect and the "playing God" idea.

What do you think is our biggest motivation?
