  3. “Much has been said comparing the scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change with the growing consensus of public health officials about how to respond to Covid-19” — “We think this comparison is inapt and dangerous,” write Eric Schliesser (Amsterdam) and Eric Winsberg (South Florida)
  4. A helpful visualization about the value of social distancing and staying home — created by Siouxsie Wiles, a microbiologist and science communicator based in New Zealand
  5. “Molecular jitter in the system” — Nature or nurture? It turns out there may be a third option: random “noise”

Mini-Heap posts appear when 7 or so new items accumulate in the Heap of Links, the ever-growing collection of items from around the web that may be of interest to philosophers. Discussion welcome.

The Heap of Links consists partly of suggestions from readers; if you find something online that you think would be of interest to the philosophical community, please send it in for consideration for the Heap. Thanks!
