My research interests and competencies concern moral reasoning, the philosophy of science, and metaphysics. The following are example topics suitable for student projects. Moral obligations concerning climate change (the subject of HMS seminar HO 705 Climate Change, Justice, and Beneficence), distributive justice (including consideration of collective duties concerning food, clothing, shelter, and health care), the morality of embryonic stem cell research, permissibility of germ line genetic intervention via CRISPR-Cas9, and patenting of human DNA sequences. Issues in philosophy of science, including the ontological status of species, defining developmental potential, evolution, and social responsibilities of scientists. Inquiries welcome on choosing a topic for study.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
