Work intervenes 5 Jul 2009 I am going to a couple of conferences over the next fortnight. They are in Brisbane, so I don’t have to cross any water.

Are any of the talks going to be posted somewhere on the net? Because Soraya de Chadaverian’s talk on “The world as a laboratory: biology and the bomb” looks really interesting. As does Greg Frost-Arnold’s one on Pessimistic Induction.
Thanks John. I’ll probably just ask my HAPS lecturer next week about Chadaverian’s talk, if I can’t trawl anything up via google scholar.
