Varieties of Risk

Just to say that while we keep this account online, it is no longer active and we won't add any further posts (though papers relating to the project are still forthcoming).

Really excited for @PetronellaRR — a Varieties of Risk PhD project student to have her first publication — and a great paper it is too! 👏 👍

@SchoeneggerPhil @LSEBehavioural @barbarafasolo @Matteo_Galizzi Congratulations!

Very excited to be finally able to announce that from next month (!) I will be a Post-Doc @LSEBehavioural, working with @BarbaraFasolo and @Matteo_Galizzi! I'll research altruism, risk, forecasting, artificial intelligence, metascience, and more! Can't wait to get started!

@smithbarryc Best of luck!!

Well that's a wrap. The @ahrcpress sponsored Varieties of #Risk project has finished. It was a blast, especially during difficult Covid times, and many thanks to the many nice folks who came to speak at our seminars and workshops. Many thanks to (1/2) varietiesofrisk.info

Here is the first of three short videos about our research at the Varieties of Risk project. In this video, @GiadaFra_tanto talks proof paradoxes and how we manage both epistemic and legal risks. Thanks to @morroccomedia for putting it together! youtube.com/watch?v=D8hvkN…

Good news: Dr Paolo Savino is joining the VoR research project as a postdoc! Congrats, Paolo and welcome to the project 🥳

@Mattjope VoR member @Mattjope is running a workshop on trust in Edinburgh *this week*! Email him at mjope2@ed.ac.uk to register

@Wiglet1981 Interesting read. Looking forward to hearing more at the workshop!

@SuttonProfessor Much of explorative mountaineering involves team decisions in navigating one’s way up mountain/climb.

Research help please - where do we find expert *joint* navigation, folk skilfully *together* finding their way, collaborating with or without technology? I know some ethnographic studies; I think of team orienteering, rally driving; what else? Thank you!

Happening this week!

Reminder that the deadline for abstracts for our Moral Uncertainty workshop is the end of this week! philevents.org/event/show/106…
