A lovely surprise at #AusSTS25 was meeting with @sonjavw.bsky.social!

Did you know we have an open call for proposals for Palgrave's #Biolegalities series? We welcome projects that critically examine the evolving relationship between law, life & (bio)technology: link.springer.com/series/15629 #STS

Thanks to the @aussts.bsky.social team for the invitation and opportunity to share my work on the strange history of public incubator shows!

Lots to be said about your other questions, too - probably more than a short response box can manage!

Good questions, Ian! There isn’t a lot of documentation, but local hospitals and doctors referred the babies because this was their only chance of survival. Once known, parents also brought in their babies independently.
