Hi, I'm a Brazilian doing my PhD in Germany. My topic of interest is higher education from an organizational perspective. I don't toot a lot about work since I don't usually have any academic connections in here, but if you're on organization studies, or research higher education from any perspective, I'd love to follow you :)
Researchers who thought of themselves as “scientists” saw themselves as less warm, fair, cooperative, likeable.
“The reminder of being a member of the scientific community that incentivizes individual gain might make researchers less willing to share their knowledge with peers.”
New paper argues insights from qualitative research can help to improve open science.

Ohhh, Rest In Probability Ian Hacking, who passed away yesterday aged 87 - one of the absolute best historian/philosophers of probability, statistics, mental illness and of science in general, his new Introduction to the 50th Anniversary Edition of Thomas Kuhn's classic The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is especially worth reading. #STS #HistoryOfScience #SocialConstruction #ThomasKuhn #Philosophy

New article by Thomas Hostler in the Journal of Trial and Error:
“There is a high chance that without intervention, increased expectations to engage in open research practices may lead to unacceptable increases in demands on academics.”
"Somehow, I have been instrumentalized by the internet, which operates me through my phone. It often feels like the internet is reading my mind."
A beautifully-written piece by #MerrittTierce that traces the not-quite-serendipity of connection through the internet, and shows how the internet mediates our relationships - to each other, and with the internet itself.
@i_ngli@sts I think that the old-fashioned German understanding of a "discipline" is not really what #STS is about. "Studies" always remain interdisciplinary, and have been the continuous source of new modes of thinking. Think Media Studies, Gender Studies, Laboratory Studies, Social Studies of ...
We just finished a discussion on the state of STS in Germany, w/Gisela Welz, Jörg Niewöhner and myself on a humble panel. This was fruitful and let to a collective exploration with the audience on careers, collaborative ways of publishing, and more.
And now for something completely different. Infrastructuring an organisation. No, we of course translate the needs into improving the infrastructure. True STS work 🤝 @sts#sts
Dr Ann Moyal AM FAHA (1926–2019) was a Petherick reader, a Harold White Fellow and an established historian of science and technology.

Excited to have a new peer-reviewed essay entitled "Home Drone" in "The Domestication of War" special section of the latest issue of Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience. Co-written with the brilliant Michael Richardson. Every piece in the issue looks fantastic: https://catalystjournal.org/index.php/catalyst/issue/view/2721#feministSTS#STS

What worlds are possible from the ruins of Twitter? We wrote about the environmental footprint of social media hosting, wasting differently, and tinkering with Mastodon. Solar power and Pis will be set up. Yet, this is also a contribution that acknowledges the diverse knowledge that went into Mastodon and the Fediverse.
I am a historian of nuclear science & technology at Hiroshima Peace Inst & Grad School of Peace Studies. My book Nuclear bodies: the global hibakusha (Yale 2022) surveys harm from #nuclear production, weapon testing, & reactor accidents across the globe, & medical models that obscure harm from fallout particles.
Collecting oral histories in 20+ countries , I examine how communities, families and interior psychology suffer via exposures.
I track nuclear #colonialism (selecting the irradiated) arguing the #ColdWar was a limited nuclear war against these populations.
I also explore our relationship to our HL nuclear waste, asserting it is how our descendants will know us. Our choices now reveal our lack of consideration of the 1000s of generations of living beings for whom this waste is already a part of their world.
