Hi. My main background is in the earth & life sciences, but I now predominantly explore topics in the broad area of bioethics. That's about equality, fairness, justice, diversity and inclusivity. It's also about people's biases, the associated otherization and everything that this can result in. That includes poverty, homelessness, poor health, shabby looks, shrinking personal bubbles, exposure to chemical and noise pollution and lots more. It's also about law, philosophy, speciesism, science & technology, forensic psychology, politics and public policy (governance). Diversity and inclusivity are much bigger challenges than I used to believe. I for example now think that society's lack of genuine acceptance and support for people whose brains work very differently can among other things result in destructive behaviours for which the forensic psychology term is sadistic stalking or resentful stalking.

Frankly, sorta like this is what I often feel that Portsmouth is like as well, except the flavors are different, maybe.
I’ve even contemplated suing Portsmouth City Council off and on over the years… and I’ve also – much more seriously – contemplated suing my landlord, because I have very good reason too as he sold me something under false pretenses and that’s consumer fraud – I know that such cases against landlords have been brought and succeeded in the UK; yes, there’s precedent – except… I didn’t even wanna bother. I just wanted the hell out of this place. I want my goddamn life back.
