Wrote a longer response about what I think what #innovation is, as onetime scholar of the history of innovation, and why the arguments claiming that #LLM s can't produce novelty or innovation have so far failed to persuade me. I may of course be wrong. But here's what I think, anyway. #STS #AI

What a start into the academic week: I submitted to #Aoir2026 (🤞), I filed a grant application for #stsCH2027 (the bi-annual Swiss #STS conference I will be hosting at the University of Fribourg), and I learned that our #4s open panel for Toronto was accepted 🙌

📝 Defunding Science, Stifling Dissent: Lessons from Aotearoa

There is an opportunity here, not to preserve a system that has long been deeply flawed, but to change it for the better: to build a model of research and higher education that is accountable to the people and places from which it comes.

Ah, this is one of those articles that shows the power of using STS methods in questions of geography and sustainability science. The politics show up clearly, but they're clear, material, empirical, explicit, and limited, rather than speculative and ephemeral.

I really appreciate this approach

Assembling the plant-based meat proposition: Towards food systems transitions in Australia

Andrew McGregor https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6476-346X Andrew.mcgregor@mq.edu.au, Lauren Rickards, Donna Houston https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3181-3517, and Michael GoodmanThe mounting social, ecological and animal welfare issues associated with animal agriculture have inspired research and development on novel protein technologies that promise pathways towards less harmful futures. Protein transitions advocates envision significant changes to food production, including the potential removal of millions of animals from food production systems. This future is not at all guaranteed and dependent upon the complex and uncertain processes through which alternatives emerge and come to negotiate place-based socio-technical regimes. In this paper we extend the multi-level perspective used within the sustainability transitions literature by integrating it with Bruno Latour’s concept of propositions as a way of analysing how places shape and are shaped by emerging niche industries, in this case the plant-based meat industry in Australia. Through interviews, workshops and desk-based analysis we focus on six key elements shaping the plant-based meat proposition: matters of concern, networks, practices, ontologies, recalcitrance, and omissions. The analysis reveals a plant-based meat infrastructure emerging in the shadow of the animal meat industry and a realm of innovative strategies oriented at boosting acceptance, such as hosting conferences, writing reports, and infiltrating animal meat aisles in supermarkets.

(Title) Understanding Challenges and Opportunities
for the Transition Beyond Animal Experimentation
in Research and Safety Testing: What‘s New? What‘s Next?

Animal use in science and safety testing persists at high levels – despite decades of advocacy and innovation in alternatives.

Apart from technical challenges, this also raises urgent philosophical, ethical, legal, and social-scientific issues. 

This two-day online workshop focuses on new perspectives that can help to understand the intersection of scientific and human obstacles
that slow down transition. 

Join the discussions to broaden your perspective on the animal experimentation transition and help to explore pathways to a
future of innovative, responsible science. 

Organised by Love Hansell, Radboud U; Simon Lohse, Radboud U; Nico D. Müller, U of Basel

Since it has escaped the bubble, and people are talking about how evolutionary just so stories are used to legitimate rape, let me mention one of may favorite papers: Lisa Lloyd’s demolition of Thornhill & Palmer’s book “A Natural History of Rape”. #sts #hps repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcont...

Next was "Brainwaves" by Cornelius Borck. This is a fascinating look at the history of the EEG - its technological development, initial scientific uses, and how those uses were deeply enmeshed in cultural and scientific currents. Highly recommend

Professor Irina Shklovski and I have a great 2-year full time postdoc job opportunity on our interdisciplinary project at University of Copenhagen, ‘Data quality for Responsible AI in Energy Systems’ (DARES).

We’re looking for someone who has the potential and enthusiasm to work with us across #STS, #HCI, and #EnergyFutures, who is excited to ask sociotechnical questions about data inside the infrastructures of the green energy transition.

Acting ethically in an imperfect world

Life is complicated. Regardless of what your beliefs or politics or ethics are, the way that we set up our society and economy will often force you to act against them: You might not want to fly somewhere but your employer will not accept another mode of transportation, you want to eat vegan but are at some point in a situation where the best you can do is a vegetarian option. Sometimes it's not even our hand being forced but us not having the mental strength or priorities to do something: I […]

On March 5, we are organizing a creative workshop for students who use period tracking apps. The aim will be to discuss their practices, knowledge, and questions, and to highlight their experiences.
All this will take the form of free expression (writing, collage... we secretly dream of a fanzine format 👀).

We can't wait to see what emerges from this first workshop!

Challenger-Märchenstunde beim SWR 3/3:
".. und irgendwann hat der Booster dem dann nicht mehr standgehalten, wurde zerstört, und das hat dann letztendlich zur ganzen Explosion des Space Shuttles geführt. .."

Auch falsch. Der lecke Booster hat seine Befestigungen am Haupttank und den Haupttank beschädigt. Auch der lecke Booster flog deutlich sichtbar aus der Trümmerwolke heraus.
