Was in New Zealand last month for the #ICHST. The paper on rodent control in Cold War Taiwan is now part of the special issue proposal for BJHS theme!

I gather that the next International Congress for the History of Science & Technology, 2029 will be in Paris, returning to where it started 100 years earlier! #ICHST #histSTM

As a remote attendee I missed whatever the Wikimedian role at #ICHST was, but I definitely recognise some of the people and themes represented here - women astronomers, geological visualisations, science diplomacy, HMS Challenger and more #histSTM

Final version of the whiteboard, full of cartoons and scribbling and caricatures of academics.

Final version. #ICHST has been a great 5-day conference; met and photographed many researchers, learned about Japanese embryology and research oceanography, got to work with my colleague @thneed.bsky.social.

An increasingly-full whiteboard with cartoons and doodles and scribbled notes about science-history conference attendees.

More #ICHST sketchnoting, whiteboard filling up. Have made sure to release the whole thing under an open license of course, should anyone want to reuse my scribblings (doubtful).

John Schaefer at Cambridge presented a network analysis yesterday at #ICHST of Kew Gardens collectors, using Bionomia, OpenRefine, and Wikidata; I thought of you.

I keep checking the #ichst schedule only to realise that the session I was thinking of joining today... took place last night (NZ time). Let's hope I manage to get the time correct for my own session on sci journals later this week!

Start planning your papers and sessions now! Edinburgh is the place to be 13-16 July 2026 #histSTM #ichst #sts #hps
(I'm also available for hire if anyone wants to be ceilidh-ready by then)

More doodles and cartoons about Wikipedian work at the conference including a portrait of Ute Meta Bauer done with whiteboard marker.

Sketchnoting #ICHST continues: day 3. Helping researchers get their head around Wikipedia and related projects (and checking to make sure their ORCID is nice and complete).

The Media and Epidemics team are presenting all week (in person and virtually) at the International Congress of History of Science and Technology in Dunedin, NZ. Looking forward to discussing epidemics, technologies of communication, and media from the 19th century to today! #ichst #hstm #litsci

Today in remote #ichst, I have mostly been catching up with the great three sessions on 'Global Pop: Science Popularisation and Popular Science in International and Global Perspectives, 19th-20th Centuries', organised by Martin Bush and @davidaubin.bsky.social #histsci #ichst2025 #ichst25

University of Otago

#ICHST So happy to attend the wonderful sessions and symposiums at the ICHST 2025 held at Dunedin in New Zealand!

This was a great, and thought-provoking plenary session, also with Karly Burch, David Robbie and Hinamouera Morgant-Cross (as a virtual attendee, it was a pleasant thing that all the speakers were also virtual) #ichst

I’ll be in a panel 3:30pm Wednesday, July 2 New Zealand time! (11:30pm EST). Sadly not in person, but a pre-recorded presentation. Vernaculars and Sciences of Brain Damage: Harm, Risk, and the Body in Global Sporting Culture, 1870-Present
-Wednesday, Jul 2
3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Archway, Theatre 2
#ICHST

Looking forward to joining the “Plenary: The #nuclear legacy: the #Pacific region from testing ground to global disarmament advocacy” at #ICHST in a few hours. Wish I was there, but glad I still can virtually be.

#HistSTM #EnvHist #NukeSky

I managed to watch the next #ichst plenary (History of Medicine in the Pacific) and a session until about 1 am last night, so also have the authentic tired and over-caffinated feeling

Catching up now with Victoria Campbell's #ichst keynote, The Flow of Knowledge from the Stars. Trying to give myself the conference experience

I’m one of the Wikmedians at the #ICHST conference in Dunedin, and am sketchnoting the work we’re doing each day.

I'm already behind with #ichst! Recordings should be available after 72 hours, but there's *so much* in many parallel sessions that I want to see (and I'm straight into #BSHS2025 next week) #histSTM

Beginning #ICHST with a plenary by Victoria Campbell on Māori astronomy and the flow of knowledge from the stars.

It's a privilege to be presenting at the International Congress of History of Science and Technology this week in Dunedin. Looking forward to engaging with colleagues and exchanging ideas in such an inspiring setting. #ichst #historyofscience

One think I do plan is to add Bluesky handles if anyone posts with #ICHST or #ICHST25 or #ICHST2025 over the next week.

I'll be in a panel at 9am on Saturday July 5, New Zealand time! If you're presenting at #ICHST I'd love to hear your title + time slot, I am also struggling a bit with the program.

Who has a paper at #ICHST next week? I know the #SIC Scientific Instrument Commission's programme but am finding it hard to navigate the rest. (My pre-recorded paper will be in the 9am 4 July slot, which is 10pm on 3 July in the UK) #histSTM
