It has been a privilege to engage with ecology students and faculty members again at NUBiP in Kyiv 🇺🇦. Over the past week, I have learned so much from their experiences and knowledge.

Sadly, two students from the department, Yurii & Gregory, are no longer with us. May They rest in peace

Eventually managed to read #AyselSultan's @sts review in @sts_journal of Prasad Amit's (2023) #ScienceStudies Meets #Colonialism. Very helpful for my take on #STS as the review discusses how the book critically discusses #ANT #ActorNetworkTheory and #PostColonialSTS sciencetechnologystudies.journ

Tip of the Day!

Here is a reminder to everyone [rightly] pissed at the incredibly high cost of peer-reviewed journal articles behind paywalls:

If you send an email to the lead/corresponding author (whose contact is almost always provided in the article, or easily found with google) and ask for a copy of the article, the author will almost universally be delighted to send a copy [legally] to you, free.

We authors LOVE it when someone asks for a copy of our articles!!!

I rant a lot about peer review. Well now we have a team doing something about it. We're designing and building infrastructure to enable sustainable peer review. Follow along:

Visited a #ClimateChange communication expo today in Berlin. Positively surprised by the Niklas Luhmann quote (sociology plays a very important role in Germany). I made a call to someone living in 2045.
