Video with Noah Carl: how heterodox can a science conference realistically be?
And a reminder to take the readers survey
While I was in England attending the UK heterodox conference at University of Buckingham, I managed to have an in-person talk with Noah Carl. The full video is on Aporia behind the paywall, but hopefully you already subscribe there. I will post it on my Substack tomorrow behind the paywall for those who subscribe to my Substack but not Aporia (the internet is being slow so it takes a while to download and upload it). The preview is below, the full video is 55 minites.
