My supervisor did impressions of me behind my back - I'm reliably told he put on a Scottish accent and said something about John Hawthorne's 'Knowledge and Lotteries' https://t.co/QlCIPszNMA

"Minding" Knowledge

M. Elizabeth Hendrix
Aidan McGlynnAidan McGlynn

This has happened to me a couple of times, but so far it's landed okay in the end. The worst was my 'Mindreading Knowledge' paper, which I'd been working on for years - I finished the first complete draft, and 2-3 hours later google recommended David Rose's paper... https://t.co/bySO7TGMXd
