I was born and raised in Arizona and received my BA in philosophy from Tufts University and my Ph.D. in philosophy from University of Wisconsin-Madison. Most of my current research concerns counterfactual reasoning (especially in science) and confirmation, though I'm interested in and have written about a number of other topics, such as the explanatory scope of natural selection, multilevel selection, and the evolution of cooperation. I've held visiting positions at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognitive Research (Vienna), the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (Durham, NC), and the Center for Philosophy of Science (Pittsburgh). I was an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellow at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery and then an assistant professor at the Higher School of Economics (Moscow), a position I held until 2022. I'm also affiliated with the Fresh Pond Research Institute, a theoretical biology institute in Cambridge, MA. I enjoy teaching courses in philosophy of science and formal areas of philosophy, and in my teaching I seek to find those wonderful moments when philosophy can make the familiar strange.
