A PhD student at CambridgeHPS has been putting “artwork signs” up all around our department next to “ordinary things” and they are brilliant. They unfailingly make me stop and smile and notice the wonderful strangeness of the world ✨ Best workplace spirit-lift hack I’ve seen in a long time 🙌

What a great interview with Ha-Joon Chang! @teemulari.bsky.social asks searching and informed questions covering so much ground. Even the greatest mystery of them all, namely how the two Chang brothers, Hasok and Ha-Joon, each independently arrived at pluralism in their fields. #econsky #philsci
