Page from March 1997 Scientific American featuring Brewster Kahle’s article 'Preserving the Internet.' Text describes the Internet Archive’s mission to save digital information. Includes a photo of a Smithsonian exhibit with 1996 U.S. election web memorabilia.

In 1996, Brewster Kahle wrote "Preserving the Internet" for Scientific American. Nearly 30 years later, it’s striking how many of his predictions about digital preservation came true—and how many challenges remain.

Let’s compare 1996 vs 2025 🧵

Happy nerd unboxing!

Verkligen! Plus att uppmärksamma att mer resurser och erkännande av bibliotekens roll behövs borde väl verkligen ligga i chefernas intresse.

Har också häpnat över den där diskussionen och hur det misstolkats till att handla om klagande bibliotekarier. Problemet är väl att biblioteken kommit att få ett brett uppdrag för att andra instanser stängt, utan att få ett officiellt breddat uppdrag eller att resurser följt med, vilket är bananas!

Struggles when being in academia: The constant battle in your (or maybe it is just my) mind about whether to do the very necessary admin stuff or to read Simondon in the sun when one unscheduled hour approaches. #STS #academia

A paperback copy of the book Ways of being by James Bridle.

The most inspiring read of my summer. James Bridle’s Ways of Being is a beautiful and thought-provoking essay on the entanglement of humans, nature and technologies, and ideas about what intelligence is and how to build ”smart” machines.

Thank you very much for pointing me in the direction of your work. Certainly seems like what I was looking for!

Tack för tipset! Ja, väldigt intressant på temat!

Hi #STS peers and other ethnographers!
I am looking for good work on ethics of ethnographic research. In general but also particularly in healthcare/medical settings. Do you have any suggestions? Please, let me know! #STS #ethnography #research #researchethics

So sad, Callon was such an important figure in STS. Who can forget those scallops? I met him once at the École des Mines, Bruno Latour introduced us, around 1990 - that was it. I wish I'd gotten to know him, too late now - yet the scallops and ANT live on

I am happy to share that I am starting a position as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Technology & Society, with a specialization in #STS & medical AI, at Lund University.
I will work in two research projects exploring ethical & epistemological dimensions of AI-supported predictive precision medicine 😊

Tack 🎩!!

In the article I explore AI experts' truth practices and valuations of ground truths in medical AI development. It makes visible the role of human expertise and the perceived strengths and limits of expert-based annotations and medical classifications. #STS #AI #CriticalAI #CriticalDataStudies

Very happy to see that this special issue of Sociologisk Forskning is now out in the world and I am honored to have my paper included!

Yesterday was a major milestone for me as I passed my PhD defense, making me a doctor in Technology and Society!
So grateful to everyone involved in the defense and to all that have supported me on this journey.
The thesis is available here: portal.research.lu.se/en/publicati...

Thanks! Still have to make it through the defence though :)

Nailed my PhD thesis to the wall today as we do in Sweden in good time before defending. The public defence will be June 4th!
