@Blanco@c.im cover

My name is Julio and I am retired (from work, not life) enjoying my last 25% on Earth (I hope). My husband David of 39 years, and counting, is on the right in the header and Kitaro, a Japanese performing artist, is on the left. I had something to do with Hubble. PhD in physics (but not as smart as it sounds).

How do you get cargo and supplies to a shoreline where there are no ports or piers?

That’s the problem the relief effort faced in Gaza, and one that military forces and humanitarian groups have faced countless times in .
During World War 2, a navy engineer figured out a solution, using this model of cigar boxes as the prototype to show how a steel pontoon causeway could be made.

My paper got published in Synthese! 🥲

“Inspired by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s metaphysics of monads, I will focus on a relational explanation of how simple subjects could constitute complex experiences, without them having to combine in virtue of their subjectivity. I call this view monadic panpsychism.”

Video of me reciting a short poem by Adunis in Arabic and then in English

Prophecy
By Adunis

Out of our thousand-year-old sleep,
Out of our stunted history,
To the country dug grave-like into our lives,
To this drugged, murdered land,
A reverenceless sun arrives
To kill the sheikh of locusts and of sand
And time that grows on its plains
And withers on its plains
Like fungus
Up from behind this bridge comes dawn
Of a death-loving, destroyer sun.
