from 2019 Metascience Symposium

I attended a couple of days at Metascience 2019. This was a free conference organized by the Fetzer Franklin Fund , an outfit very similar to the better-known Templeton Foundation – that is, they fund edgy work in various aspects of science, a mix of very interesting and very flakey activities. This leaned towards the former at least. They plan to put videos of all talks online in the near future.

Home - John Templeton Foundation

One of those crazed-billionaire things. Funds all sorts of interesting-but-slightly flakey projects, and gives a 1.1 million pound prize annually. The projects tend to involve trying to integrate science and religion in some form or another.
