In a month we are going to present the Invention of the scientific power couple in 18th century France with @meghankroberts.bsky.social in this exciting workshop! Glad to get to travel after this long writing period and listen to those great papers!

I travelled to NYC to help launch (last night) Joanna Stalnaker's astonishing new book _The Rest is Silence: Enlightenment Philosophers Facing Death_. The book is a treasure, humane and moving: a vindication both of the #18thc philosophes and of what literary studies scholarship can do with them.
