A drawing of three women, one of them is looking for lice on the other woman's head
My current research is all about parasites! Shown here is a 16th C. drawing of women looking for lice (Barocci, 1597)

... also reminded of the BRILLIANT day I found a box of MAFF public information posters in UK National Archives (one of these things is not like the others..) #envhums #histm 🗃️📜
And on Thursday, we'll be talking about the 'cross disciplinary visions and realities' of working and thinking together across embedded #sts and #oralhistory #easst4s2024 #histm

And we're here, which given 5 year hiatus is amazing in and of itself! Day One complete, so many connections made and remade. Welcome back everyone! NB I think Bsky does hashtags now, so let's try #SIP24 ? Paging the #scicomm #sts #scipol #histm feeds - Science in Public is back!
Happy to schedule talks for Fall 2024 :)

I worry about this too, but rarely see discussed. Does anyone out there know of scholarship on utopias/dystopias, futures, fictions etc that pokes at the idea? #STS #envhums #histci #histm
Further sounding of the job klaxon - Egenis are ALSO recruiting for a Lecturer in Anthropology or Sociology or Science. NB please note unfortunately tight deadlines, all applicants welcome! #STS #histm #envhums 📗#scipol #scicomm

"Writing for an audience of scientists would force historians of science to look up and outwards from trends within their discipline. It would also oblige them to forge new kinds of narratives." Here's looking at you #sts #histm
Boosting to the #STS #histm feed and sounding the #jobklaxon!
Interesting thought. Already happening/interacting with #STS in studies of organisations, collaboration, interdisciplinarity etc. Also raises nice meta Qs for #histm #philsci on when, where, whether there has been 'psychology of science' + relationships with STS, HPS etc
Welcome @stsucl.bsky.social!
Boosting to #sts #histm #philbio #enhums #scicomm #scipol #glams feeds (have i missed any?)
Continuing to muse on fantasy project #302: an oral history of stealth rewilding... #envhist #enhums #histm
So Kissinger's died (age 100, only the good die young, etc). Does that mean the long 20th century is finally over? #histm #historians #news
