The essay argues that inherited moral categories such as “tool,” “person,” and “rights-holder” no longer provide reliable guidance under conditions where cognition itself is manufactured and disposed of by design.

The summer flew by! Our final speaker, Nobel Laureate Dr. Robert Lefkowitz, reminded our Applied Ethics+ cohort that the path to purpose isn’t always straight. Still, curiosity, resilience, and joy in the work can take you further than you ever planned.

Companies are prioritizing hires who understand and can speak to the issues that their policy teams work on. Clearly understanding what you're building must go hand-in-hand with understanding who it affects—and how. Thanks to Prof. Ken Rogerson for speaking to our #AppliedEthics cohort! #TechEthics

Lauren Beizer, candidate in our JD/MA in #Bioethics & #SciencePolicy, reflects on her practical experience in #HealthPolicy and #AppliedEthics in #GlobalHealth diplomacy and emergency response during the Duke-Geneva Program on Global Health. Learn more:
Significant main effect of entity x*(44) = 43,250, p < .001, and significant interaction between specie and charity, x°(132) = 593, D < .001. EEMs for the probability of saving each family across the four charity conditions: Humans had the highest average probability; mammals also received high support; birds and plants showed more variability. Insects and others consistently showed lower probabilities of being saved.
Entity Distance Matrix (Ordered by Save Probability)
Study 1. Profiles - From Response Times and probabilities to Moral Maps Non-donors (baseline): Humans were strongly prioritized (0.91), but little variation across other families, insects (0.20) the lowest. Global Health and Wellbeing Fund: Humans again led (0.93), with mammals (0.65) and plants (0.34) in the middle, and insects (0.20). Founders Pledge Climate Change Fund: Humans led similarly as animal adv. (0.90), while plants saw relatively higher support (0.38) than in other charities, and insects remained low (0.22). Effective Animal Advocacy Fund: Humans again led (o.86), but a more balance support across mammals (0.67), birds (0.57), and especially insects (0.19). One dimension 'distance' predicts likelihood of saving a species. 0.91> R° > 0.94
Study 2. Goal Framing and Choice History
What can we learn about people's #MoralCircle using dilemmas about who to save?
Daniel Martin et al. showed really nice plots of reaction times, similarity scores, and choice changes.

Tremendous thanks to Dr. Jeff Baker for speaking at our Applied Ethics+ summer program. His talk on vaccines, trust, and public health reminded us that science needs more than data—it needs ethics, history, and effective communication.

Big thanks to Bev Seay for speaking to our #AppliedEthics + students on taking smart risks, building strong teams, navigating government-industry partnerships, and leading with both competence and conviction—especially as a woman in #STEM. It was great to have you back at #DukeU!
Most ethical arguments on RtR aiding human "nature connection" & "land ownership/equity" fall flat. Responsibility? When the normative culture is not ecoliterate, expect trouble in the few remaining refugia in the UK.

Social media graphic post titled "What is CCEA?" and showing a thinking emoji. We've been around for 20 years, but what do we actually do? Hint: It's all about ethics!
Social media graphic post talking about what the CCEA stands for and who founded it. CCEA Stands for The Research Centre in Applied Ethics. You can find us at the University of Bucharest's Faculty of Philosophy. Founded by Professor Valentin Mureșan back in 2004, we're Romania's only research center dedicated to systematically studying & researching diverse ethical disciplines, from classical moral theories to AI ethics. We foster academic debate and encourage public reflection on ethical issues.
Social media graphic post talking about CCEA's activities and research focus: We advance frontier research in applied ethics, offer Master's & PhD programs, ethical consulting for organizations, we engage in public discourse through debates and media appearances. We promote a Socratic approach to ethics, facilitating reflection & collaboration across diverse fields like biomedicine, technology, business, and environmental science.
