Interested in how the AfD talks about science? Why not listen to our new podcast episode "Defining science for and in ‘Eastern Germany’ in right-wing populism" with Stefan Skupien (Berlin University Alliance).

What happens when someone with a background in science studies and an interest in patient experience has to stay in hospital?
Some passing thoughts on illness as a boundary object following my recent stay in hospital with a broken leg.
(seemed a good way to revive my blog)

In unserer aktuellen Folge sprechen
@MartinReinhart und C. Schendzielorz darüber, was sich anhand der Organisation großer Forschungskooperationen über die Regierung und Selbstregierung von Wissenschaft lernen lässt. https://blogs.hu-berlin.de/scienceworks/2025/03/19/13-science-works-jour-fixe-the-role-of-research-collaborations-in-the-governance-of-science-vortrag-auf-deutsch/#blog

Neu im Science Works Podcast: Holger Straßheim (Uni Bielefeld) skizziert Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen verschiedenen Zugängen zur politischen Epistemologie und denkt über Konfliktdynamiken im Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Politik unter den Bedingungen der Weltgesellschaft nach.

"What a splendid place for growing spuds!” 🥔
That's what William Lashly exclaimed when he, Edgar Evans, and Robert Falcon Scott discovered Antarctica's Dry Valleys in 1903, on the way back from reconnoitering the polar plateau.
A lot has changed in the past 120 years. Mostly to do with a lot more people.

New podcast episode: Olof Hallonsten (Lund University) makes a historical-sociological argument for stopping the evaluation of science, concluding that the current ubiquity of performance evaluation in science is mostly pointless and counterproductive.

In this week's episode Dimity Stephen (DZHW) and @metacramer (HU) talk about how debates on predatory publishing lack empirical substantiation and ignore geopolitical inequalities as well as researchers’ motivations.
New Episode! In this week's RMZ #podcast Marta Wróblewska speaks about policy-making in the area of research impact evaluation in UK, Poland and Norway: from centre to (semi-)periphery.

Trust in science: We find steadily diverging trends by political views since the 1990s, and a drastically and rapidly opening gap since 2018. Existing theoretical accounts do not fully explain these patterns. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09636625241302970
We also have a podcast!
At RMZ, we regularly invite guests to speak about their work and are now releasing a podcast with recordings of our guests' talk on discussions, positions and developments in the field of #sciencestudies

I thought there’s something interesting in this concept (from this working paper) I need to explore in relation to my argument that generative AI constitutes a machinery for rendering tacit knowledge explicit, at least if you are inclined to use it in intellectually robust and reliable ways:
Complex configurations of tacit expectations, often undocumented preferences, and differences in the logic of discovery and justification within a field form epistemic cultures (Knorr-Cetina 2009) that we call socio-epistemic bubbles. We append “socio” to “epistemic” because they are socially constituted and reinforced, and label them bubbles because they are often localized rather than universal and remain invisible to those inside and outside them. Scientific practices circulate within these bubbles through scientific habitus (Bourdieu 1975) to precisely shape bio-science experiments, beyond that which is documented in a research paper or protocol.

#ScienceStudies, #Metascience or #bibliometrics are small fields but I wonder whether we neglect science communication way too much. The complicated, uncertain, boring, troublesome or failed things that happen in research labs around the world are almost never told by those who have championed science communication. I am not against positivism but a modern, educated and “knowledge-based”-society should always strive for nuance and complexity.
An unsere #Hannover-Locals: Am 21. März (17–19 Uhr) veranstaltet @OSCHannover das mittlerweile 4. #OpenScience Meetup!
Neben u.a. @i_vinodh und @Lambo wird auch #AndreasDaniel vom #DZHW (wo das Ganze übrigens stattfindet) dabei sein. Er wird über das Thema "#FAIR #ResearchData for Higher Education Research and #ScienceStudies” sprechen.

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 https://sciencetechnologystudies.journal.fi/article/view/136097
