About Gregory C.

Greg works on projects in neurosciences and evolutionary biology, science policy, and is very interested in legal and corporate applications of neuroscience. 

He has an MA in intellectual history from Vanderbilt, and has studied Renaissance Italy, the history of biology, and comparative Jewish and Islamic medival philosophy. He is rumored to make a perfect paella and really want to go back to places with cold weather and fast moving people...in the meantime, he tries to stay cool by swimming and lurking under cool patches of seaweed in undersea caves.  Other than irrational aversions to whistleblowers, miserly people, missed appointments, critical theory, strip malls, musicals, and stinging social insects, he's quite likeable and easygoing.

He is a sucker for Andalusian belly-dancing and appropriate use of punctuation.

"A really great project" on Lost In Translation: Setting the Records Straight in the IDF Archives

I've wondered if the lack of precision among military journalists and historians writing about Israel (at least in English and some Romance languages) reflected some translation issues.  Similar effort might also pay off in working on ...
"This is a strong argument" on Alice the Robot Wife Will Someday Rule Us All

This is a strong argument against naming anything Zoltan.
"words past, words present" on Why Fake A Holocaust Memoir?
03/03/08 6:30 pm
I can't help wondering if older, pluralistic use of words like "holocaust" to refer to great conflagrations, sacrifices, and annihilations will ever return now that a permanent article has been attached to it. I don't think ...
"I wonder/worry, though, if" on Is Today's "Letter of Harmony" A Sign of Emerging Islamic Reformation?
02/28/08 4:32 pm
I wonder/worry, though, if Turkish scholarship on Islam could wind up going the same route as a lot of the moderate South Asian scholarship - accepted by Western academics and many secularized Muslims, and ignored or banned in many places.  ...
