Hormones as (Rebellious) Messengers – An Interview with Professor Celia Roberts from the Australian National University Published in NORA - Nordic Journal of Feminist and Gender Research (Vol. 32, No. 3, 2024)

This is a wonderful interview with Celia Roberts www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1... who has pioneered the study of hormones as messengers of meaning. Also (selfishly), a fairly major academic moment for me as an ECR when someone whose work you love finds your own “inspiring”.

It's true! After a few years of work and waiting, this little book is here--suitable for use in intro anth and sociology classes, and a remedy for evidence-free policy proposals (I've been telling people it's like reading the @nytimes.com editorial page, but with actual evidence!).

Contraception warning over weight-loss drugs after dozens of pregnancies UK watchdog has had 40 reports relating to pregnancies in people using drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro

In research and teaching on the social lives of hormones over the last five years it has always struck me how little attention is given (by public and researchers) to oral contraceptives and their interactions with other drugs. Now we are seeing the consequences: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

My new book, “Sex Is a Spectrum: The Biological Limits of the Binary” publishes today from @princetonupress.bsky.social My goal in writing this book is to facilitate a better conversation. A short thread…

Thriving #Autistic are looking for an animator for a super interesting job with an annoyingly quick turnaround (not their fault).

You'd be working with me, @scrappapertiger.bsky.social and @autisticrealms.bsky.social to produce a few minutes of animation for videos introducing key autism concepts!

I wrote "A Data Governance Framework for Ethnography" six years ago. Not my most cited work, but with over 5000 downloads I know for a fact it's the one that has helped most people (write their data management plans)

Hello to lots of new followers (thank you @mw-m.bsky.social and @lancegravlee.bsky.social). Somewhat lapsed social media user here but feeling very refreshed by Bsky!

Thank you!

Here's a start at a Starter Pack for #medanthro, broadly defined. Some of these folks might not call themselves medical anthropologists, but if they study health, healing systems, or human biology in context, I've included them. Let me know who else should be added to the list.

#anthrosky

We did this too (although changed to drop in hours’), and it works wonders!

Some more anthros here : ) #anthrosky #anthropology @chloeahmann.bsky.social @restocruz.bsky.social @ldenyerwillis.bsky.social @tomwidger.bsky.social @radhikagovindrajan.bsky.social
