Outreach


My work is interdisciplinary and deeply focused on influencing not just the shape of philosophical research but scientific research and public policy. This is reflected in my public-facing work, which engages with the media, and the wide range of venues my work has been cited within.

In the Media:

Comments for: Should we change wildlife to save them? New York Times.

In 2023, I was given a two-part series on Philosophers Zones to discuss De-Extinction.
De-Extinction, Part 1.
De-Extinction, Part 2.

Here I discuss moral and legal issues around the use of genetic genealogies.

I was approached to give comments on the role of evolutionary history in conservation priorities.
