Last week, Vanessa Triviño Alonso (URJC, BioKoinos) took part in the workshop ‘From Life to Mind: The Return of Hylomorphism in Embodied Cognition’ to speak on ‘Metaphysical tools for explaining the priority of organisms: anchoring and hylomorphism’.

María Cerezo (@mariacerezophil.bsky.social), President of the European Society for Analytic Philosophy, is delivering her address: “Tractarian Metaphilosophy: Rethinking Elucidation and Nonsense” #ECAP12

A week later, I’m still thinking on the beauty of Cambridge and the inspiring conversations at #SPSP2026. It was also a pleasure to present my poster on the challenges teratology poses to theories of biological normativity.
