We are happy that the new volume of the EASST Review is out. 43/2 baby! Hugs to everyone involved and the fellow editorial team members.
This is a conference issue discussing all #sts things that happened at #EASST4S2024. Plus, the winning pieces of the creative writing competition are included.
Ever wondered what it is like to visit a huge conference in your field? I jotted down some of my reflections in this blog post: khk.rwth-aachen.de/2024/07/30/1... #STS #EASST4S2024
Shared impressions of #EASST4S2024 from @penders.bsky.social that I thoroughly concur with"...the joy of meeting people you haven’t met in a while but with whom you share academic pasts and those whom you never met but with whom you may share academic futures." @4sweb.bsky.social
"The diversity of a conference this scale cannot be summarized. However, there are elements that are worth mentioning to me–as the core of my route through the conference."

Our RENEWing Biodiversity @uniofexeternews.bsky.social/British Library team had a blast at #EASST4S2024. So many great conversations + input into WiP (sharing env/ag stories of collaboration; thinking together across #oralhistory #sts #histstm). Thanks to organisers+hosts for a fabulous conference!
Thoroughly enjoyed my first in-person #EASST4S2024. It was a real treat to be back in beautiful #Amsterdam, to make new connections here and to catch up with my @inscons.bsky.social colleagues 🤩 Kudos to @vuamsterdam.bsky.social for the great organisation (and food)!
STS scholars on their way home from #EASST4S2024 witnessing the infrastructural Microsoft breakdown at the airports all be like ”take fieldnotes!!!”
Fluffy soft text saying "Let's Get Cozy". It welcomes you to get cozy! This is an enthusiastic and loving message reminding you to get cozy in what ever way you are able to. (Alt-tetx from the website)

It was really lovely to listen to Annemarie Mol’s and Geoffrey Bowker’s talks when receiving the Bernal prize today. #EASST4S2024 #EASST is a gift that keeps on giving!
Geoff Bowker in action is certainly ... something #easst4s #EASST4S2024

Stefan Laser and Estrid Sørensen from TP A02 Virtual Information Infrastructures of the CRC 1567 together with Nancy Mauro-Flude (RMIT) and Steven Jackson (Cornell University) are hosting the panel “Planetary data Infrastructures” at #easst4s2024 today.
Slide with the text: Seeking Impact "1 prefer the applied more kind of impact focused work. So I do think it's quite important to work together with companies and policymakers and things like that translate, try to translate what we know from research and academia to actually make sure it gets translated into actions. I think that happens too little."- Participant 22 "If 1 were to sign something like that, if 1 sign that with my title. I think 'yes, but my title has nothing to do with it'. So then I actually think yes, that is just your personal opinion, and you can share it. But as a professor, to write a piece about it, you insinuate that you are an expert in that area and that is why you write that, and I just don't think that is entirely correct." - Participant 9
Slide with text: Science on the fray? Climate scientists navigating the public sphere. By Victor Avramov, Eline Ramaaker, Julia Schuring, Roosje Reutelingsperger, Willemine Willems, Jaron Harambam. There is also a picture of scientists from Scientist Rebellion during a protest.
2nd day at #EASST4S2024. 1st panel was "Engaging society as climate science" w 3 papers. Victor Avramov presented "Science on the fray? Climate scientists navigating the public sphere". He and colleagues interviewed climate scientists w different levels of engagement. We all know participant 22 🤭

Awesome audience. This morning at #easst4s2024, I discussed our upcoming book (series) on “Predictions” (Mattering Press, w/ Mél Hogan and Edward Ongweso Jr).
We’re inviting #sts authors to experiment with the format of predictions. A... stefanlaser.net/2024/07/17/awesome-audie...
Did you leave the #EASST4S2024 presidential plenary session wondering how to put STS in concert with applied policy from the academy (while mentoring students to do the same)? Check out University of Michigan’s Technology Assessment Project or find these folks (unfortunately their panel was Tues).
I’m excited to test out a new draft chapter of mine — where I discuss the strategies that activists deploy to shift authority, domain & data and disrupt scientific/technical epistemologies of environmental exposure in Southwest Detroit #EASST4S2024
Environmental exposure has become a troubling & widespread component of everyday life; but how have our understandings of environmental exposure also *become troubled* by the democratization of epistemologies surrounding it? Join our series Friday at #EASST4S2024 to hear more!
There will be a panel at Hashtag#EASST4S2024 with it's own merch 😀 More importantly though, it concerns all of us & the way we want to work together. Wednesday from 16-17:30, we will discuss on how to transform STS via Hashtag#WeDoSTS. Stickers are available exclusively off campus, bigger bulks available for anyone who wants to distribute them at their home institutions. Respond here, find me there, ask someone who knows someone. You & the sticker(s) will find each other! Hashtag#WeDoSTS
