Away on "business" : Evolving Thoughts

Profile

John Wilkins is an eternal student, who thinks philosophy of biology is at least as interesting as politics or sport and twice as important. He has a PhD from the University of Melbourne and worked at the University of Queensland, in Australia, before taking up a research fellowship at the University of Sydney. After a varied career, involving factories, gardening, civil service, publishing, graphics, public relations but not, unfortunately for the CV, driving a truck, John finally completed his thesis on species concepts in 2004, which he has worked into two books.

Away on "business"

Category: Administrative
Posted on: October 30, 2006 6:40 PM, by John S. Wilkins

So, I'm packing for the PSA/HSS conference in Vancouver, where I will be ~~drinking~~working with other philosophers and historians, and meeting the Sciblings. Then to Seattle, where I will be shown the sights by Josh Hayes and others. Thence to San Francisco where I get to give a talk and be demolished by experts.

Professor Steve Steve will be accompanying me on this trip, having just left Chris Nedin's hospitality, so if I get access to the Infernet at a price less than the cost of my mortgage, I'll post pics. But other than that, the blogging will be light on for the next couple of weeks. I think (addictions are so hard to predict, you know?).

Now, where did I put the clean underwear?

Welcome! It's supposed to be nice weather until Thursday. If you want to see our city, you can take a gondola up Grouse Mountain that has a nice view. It also has restaurants. Speaking of which, do you need any recommendations?

You're going to British Colombia and you're only drinking?
