This week's episode of The Pitt was exquisitely analog - I was nerding out at the elaborate filing systems and nuances of carbon copies. (PS. Best guilty pleasure is an episode of The Pitt followed by binging 4 episodes of ER)

Thank you for sharing your work with us Eric! From being a science advisor for films to curating screenings and discussions on body horror and other juicy topics to science content at music festivals -- the #STS students LOVED hearing about all these different opportunities for #scicomm

queer, feminist, and artist cinema practices, the program reflects on athleticism, performance, hysteria, spirit, and human–animal ecologies—extending Mitchell’s inquiry into how embodied knowledge resists the limits imposed on bodies by medical, economic, social, and ideological structures.

Excellent comments by @darmenteras.bsky.social, can't wait to share w/ my #STS students. Makes me think of some of the strategies Tapuya Journal @tapuya.org mobilized to great ends. The part Dr. Armenteras doesn't say (as in Tapuya's case) is that building sideways often makes the science stronger.

Agreed! Yesterday's binaries are tomorrow's horizons...😎 There's a classic book by ‪@elizwilsonemory.bsky.social‬ called Affect and Artificial Intelligence that has lots to say about it in a wonderfully unexpected and (I think) profound way.

Hmmm... I'm not sure if the TTest (or that essay) tells us about computers as much as it does about the project of social robots (including the chatbots lay-ppl experience as AI). I love that paper by Turing. It definitely says lots about what he thinks of people (spoiler: not much).

Don't know if he is responsible for this image, but I do know that Paul Byers did lots of photography of the Macy group (see the awesome images in Byers' and Margaret Mead's book "The Small Conference: An Innovation in Communication").

... basically reproducing the Popperian bias that led psychology as a discipline to abandon qualitative and observational work and commit to controlled lab experiments in the 1950s and beyond, to (in my opinion) its great detriment)

(That said, psychology tends to be the low-hanging fruit discipline in this debate, and has been a favorite for the so-called "hard" sciences to dismiss as itself unscientific...

I feel like there is a good deal of this in the history of psychology, eg in autism research as described in this chapter by Ilona Roth oro.open.ac.uk/59798/3/5979...

🚨 This is dangerous, not just outrageous.

Two major newspapers ran stories implying disabled people were faking it to get 2-for-1 Oasis tickets, simply because some wheelchair users stood up at the gig.

Let me explain why this kind of reporting is harmful. 🧵1/8

I guess I don't understand the impulse here -- why post (of all things) STS classics as an anonymous and (possibly?) automated bot, as opposed to an identifiable human with an actual interest in the text being referenced?
