Autobiography Part Three
After waiting 20 years since the last one, I really must write a new autobiography. Here are some dot points for the moment. I might turn it into something connected and/or entertaining later, or at least fix the punctuation. Here’s some of what I’ve been doing since last century:
- teaching philosophy of science, cosmology, and history of philosophy, at the Australian National University; my substantive post was Lecturer in Philosophy before I moved to Wollongong, and I’ve had various part-time positions since then
- my research is mostly in foundations of statistics, and related areas of applied biostatistics; I also have a research interest in methodological pluralism in scientific research, and recently I’ve been interested in philosophy of physics, and in foundations of normativity (that’s in the literal sense of “interested in” - I haven’t written anything about my most recent interests)
- briefly Senior Lecturer in Creative Arts (kinda sorta - I was really a consultant) at the University of Wollongong
- part-time Senior Lecturer in Mathematics (kinda sorta — I believe I am the worst mathematician to ever hold this post) for three years at the Australian National University
- some other consultancy work
- occasional animal advocacy work, recently mostly with Medical Advances Without Animals
- lots of animals — see http://non-human.people.xeny.net. Most of the guinea pigs and alpacas in the photos are ours, and the cows are friends
- music is still the best thing ever

Jason Grossman was born in Maharashtra, in the British Raj, to a beautiful mother who was later to settle in Woy Woy.
He fought, and played the trumpet, on the African and Italian front lines, then tried to recover by writing the Goon Show.
Oh no, wait, that’s Spike Milligan.
