This is such a delightful DH project on an 18th-century Japanese poetry competition, in which live bell and pine crickets are contemplated to express emotion. There's so much going on, I just love it! 🦗 juban-mushi-awase.dhii.jp/about_this_s...

@noemieetienne.bsky.social It's such a thoughtful and generative initiative. I am in awe and am eager to see how your project will channel and uplift the conservation conversations that need to be heard! :-D 応援しております

My mind is blown by this Glossary of Communities, created to elevate the visibility of "heritage words" to the normalizing/universalizing words often used in general and technical conservation glossaries. Thank U dear Renée Riedler for clueing me in! #MaterialCulture #heritage #art glo-co.org

V excited to see #POLLEN2026 sessions being advertised. Myself, @guillemrubio.bsky.social and Larissa Flesichmann are delighted that our session on 'Political Ecologies of Animal Waste/Waste Animals' has been accepted. And we would like to invite you to submit an abstract (see below!) 🐕‍🦺🐟💩🪶🥚🦴🐚🐌🐖

Sweet Saint: Local Boy Makes Good Ice Cream After several years of homework, a former teacher combines local pride with a child-like love of ice cream and is met with sweet success. -By Kim Ranjbar

Hello folx attending #AAA in Bulbancha/NOLA! I must tell you about a special ice cream shop called Sweet Saint. Went here every lunch break during HSS and met co-owners. They're lovely & put incredible thought into their craft with local ingredients 🍦 www.frenchquarterjournal.com/archives/loc...

Content from page 54 of HSS Annual Meeting program. This is the abstract of the Roundtable entitled Accessibility and the History of Science. This is the abstract: This round table explores the pressing question of accessibility within the field of the history of science, with a particular focus on academic conferences as both sites of scholarly exchange and potential barriers to feeling welcomed and at home. Despite growing awareness of the need for inclusivity, the structures and practices of academic events often remain inaccessible—whether due to financial constraints, physical and digital inaccessibility, language barriers, or assumptions about normative bodies, geographies, and institutions. Visa restrictions, risk of detainment and discrimination are intensifying barriers to scholars traveling to meetings held in the United States. Our discussion will aim to critically assess how the history of science, as a discipline, can become more equitable in both content and form. Contributors will reflect on their own experiences navigating these challenges, examine institutional responsibilities, and consider practical interventions for change—from hybrid and remote conferencing models to funding mechanisms and inclusive design. The round table will also address broader, reflexive questions, moving beyond best practices regarding accessibility, to ask: Who gets to produce and share knowledge in our field? Could histories of science be reshaped through more accessible and participatory modes of engagement? Recognizing that barriers to accessibility have an impact on who attends and participates, this hybrid roundtable can be attended in-person at the meeting or via Zoom. Organized by the HSS Committee on Diversity and Inclusivity.

Please register for the HSS meeting @NOLA & come meet Ashton Wesner 🐟Sam Muka 🪸 Rebecca Woods 🐒 Aleksandar Shopov 🐫 and + discuss their research on animal mobilities and why such histories of science matter. Thanks to Sonia Wigh, co-organizer of this roundtable with the Osiris editors! #histsci

Thank you so much! It was a real team effort, and we had fantastic experiences with the Osiris editors! Hopefully this is just the beginning of even more research about animals and science, technology, medicine, and the environment... and in configurations we've yet to imagine

To reconsider how, where, and by whom science is done, these amazing authors explore the theme "Animal Mobilities" & guide us to some unexpected spaces to show us how animal agency & human–animal interactions have mattered in the history of knowledge production. 🐟🪰🪸🐕🦆🐒🦏🐘🐛

Yes, and I was also astounded that the areas near spawning grounds have more robust redwood trees! On paper, it sounds logical, but it was next level to see in person... The willows and reeds that provide shelter for the eggs, smolts, many-legged animals, the returning salmon...
