Comment on Proposal: an arts/science* ethics advisory panel initiative by Nicola Triscott

Hi Andy, I was really thinking of the former, although I can see the workloads could be onerous if not structured and funded (because I agree demand would grow). The latter is more straightforward but with some of these projects, people need to confer, and particularly fir interdisciplinary projects, although maybe there’s a phone conference solution.

Are you imagining a panel that meets periodically to discuss *everything* submitted, or a roster of potential “referees” who would be available to comment on relevant submissions as appropriate? The latter is a bit like the way funding applications are reviewed and would be a smaller workload, the former is more like a traditional ethics panel. The latter might be more “advisory” but I cna see pros and cons to both. I think the general concept is sound and I can see demand for it growing over time.

[...] It is one week after the Terra Infirma workshop, and I am still processing the discussions. Others who attended seem to be, too, as I am still getting e-mails with ideas and questions.

Comment on Why I loved the Wikipedia blackout by Nicola Triscott

I just wish someone would just take the whole thing down. There are quite extensive academic and media references to Arts Catalyst, but the author hasn’t bothered to do any research at all. Makes me read Wikipedia with a whole new eye!

In this case, my personal view accords with yours. I think it was a disgraceful crime and should not be upheld even 200 years later. The man deserved the burial he requested. However, I wanted the article to raise these issues more generally, rather than to state my own views in this specific case.
