We are happy that the new volume of the EASST Review is out. 43/2 baby! Hugs to everyone involved and the fellow editorial team members.

This is a conference issue discussing all #sts things that happened at #EASST4S2024. Plus, the winning pieces of the creative writing competition are included. https://easst.net/easst-review/43-2/

The development of #OpenScience raises difficult questions about its implications for #equity and #inclusion.

In a new blog post, Louise Bezuidenhout, Paola Castaño, @sabinaleonelli, @anaparroncab and @ismaelrafols report on the insights gained from four sessions at the #easst4s2024 conference in July 2024 on monitoring equitable Open Science. https://www.leidenmadtrics.nl/articles/interrogating-and-monitoring-equitable-open-science

A gift at the end of a very long day. Here it is, in all its glory: the open access version of my book on network cultures is now available thanks to MIT Press.

Many thanks again to Apolline Taillandier, @sjvanders and Neil Stephens for organizing a panel on #philanthropy #technoscience and #transformation in Amsterdam: #easst4s2024

The topics may not seem to be intended for each other, but they fit together really well, as the discussions showed!

Friday was a fantastic final day at #EASST4S2024!Take a moment to reflect on its highlights with our last recap video

Huge thanks to all contributors, convenors and organizers for making this possible!

It was interesting to hang out at @easst last week and learn from folks in the #STS space. The kids loved the vouchers too (their own money).

I presented some results from our work on people interacting with LLMs. Besides Welby and Suchman, which I shared before, the interactions made me think of Garfinkel's Studies in Ethnomethodology, and especially his random-yes-no-answers experiment

We're uncannily good at finding sense in nonsense, and instruction-tuning boosts it

Had a fantastic time at #easst4s2024 - it was wonderful to meet old friends and make some new ones! It was particularly amazing to hang out with fellow Mattering Press editors. Virtual group hug to all of our authors, reviewers, readers, advisory board members and fellow book-makers!!!

STS scholars on their way home from #EASST4S2024 witnessing the infrastructural Microsoft breakdown at the airports all be like ”take fieldnotes!!!”

New protest on the #Amsterdam campus, entries blocked, so I'm again referring to our editorial. #easst4s #easst4s2024

Hey #easst4s2024 @easst crowd. I fear yesterday was unexpectedly my last day at the conference, due to testing positive for COVID this morning.

If you’re feeling not 100%, you might also want to get a couple of tests, which luckily are quite cheaply available in pharmacies in the Netherlands.

It’s the closing day of #EASST4S2024! Yesterday, we celebrated at the Forest Festival with theatrical conversations, Keti Koti dialogues, co-creating meals, and more!

Good night, #easst4s2024, #photography vibes

What a beautiful #EASST4S2024 party! Having all invited to the fun definitely solves the entanglement problem that your peers only book the dinner when you don't abd vice versa.
What a funky program, wonderful food selection, music, drinks. Networking and celebrating your work has never been better. And it feels even better with being open end!
My extended compliments to the organizers of more than a buzzily tuned conference. Cheers!

I went to #easst4s, and all I got was some cool #WeDoSTS stickers! Thanks @jume

Protip for @easst organisers and #easst4s2024 folks: with a conference that happens only once every four years and that has a low-traffic acronym like #EASST4S, there is no need to have year-specific hashtags. Predictable confusion & fractured convos could be prevented by keeping to a single, clear, maximally short hashtag like #easst4s — variants like #easst4s24 and #easst4s2024 just add extra ballast

I know it's day 4 so maybe this comes in handy in 2028

It was really lovely to listen to Annemarie Mol’s and Geoffrey Bowker’s talks when receiving the Bernal prize today.

#EASST is a gift that keeps on giving!

Shedding tears at #EASST4S2024 at the most beautiful, heartbreaking celebration of Adele Clarke's life - just after remembering Susan Leigh Star in Bowker's keyword giving Bernal lecture on growing and dying infrastructures. I am deeply touched and inspired by the emotional bound and community within STS. I can only wish to be/come a part of this.
