If you're in Berlin this Saturday, hop by this awesome event we're co-participating in at the Charité History of Medicine Museum: Performing Science and Medicine: An evening of artistic interventions on the relationship between performance and knowledge in the lab, the clinic, and the public realm.

Super-excited to be in Coimbra for Theatre about Science conference. Oh, I wish I had a time-turner to attend all the parallel sessions. Tomorrow talking about theCultureLab we ran last year at the @pdncambridge.bsky.social theatreaboutscience.com

Today we’re taking the #CultureLab to @britishacademy.bsky.social - to set a tone of connection and joyful energy at the BA ECRN National Postdoctoral Conference ✨ celebrating the wonderful promise of early career, and creating support networks for the difficult bits. @anatoliikozlov.bsky.social

A minute contribution of mine, while I'm sitting behind the community sites at @biologists.bsky.social this summer 🌿 @prelights.bsky.social | @the-node.bsky.social sky.social @focalplane.bsky.social | #preLights | #prePrints | #philsci

One thing I'd never done until recently was look closely at Phineas Gage's photo, especially his good eye. He was probably far more complex than he is described in the textbooks. Ben Platts-Mills investigates how Gage's humanity has been overwritten to create a case study aeon.co/essays/how-t...

So excited to finally have something on pragmatic understanding published, especially in Phil Studies, especially on AI! Read the preprint here! philsci-archive.pitt.edu/25492/

It was a long and exciting adventure, and now this sweet cherry on the top 💫

Great (and payed!) stuff for PhDs at UCL. Hey, @stsucl.bsky.social, might be relevant for STS students? www.ucl.ac.uk/ion-dri-prog...

Next Monday (12th), I'm co-running an online skill session for PhDs and Postdocs of the University of Cambridge, who are curious about applying their academic skills with local charities. It's hosted by the University's Careers Service. Cambridge PhDs/Postdocs, have a look!

Many thanks to @anatoliikozlov.bsky.social for such an attentive review of my book for @thebsls.bsky.social . Don’t miss out 😉: If it’s not already in your libraries, go ahead and ask your lovely librarians.

"The urge to use more of something if it seems good is a form of linear thinking; the appeal of mathematics as clear and defined all the way through conceives it as a totalised system of knowledge. Neither of these two things is unproblematic" My review of @stuartjtaylor.bsky.social's book is out

Heya, this June, I'm again at the Geneva SciComm School. In my module, we'll look into creative practices, artistic media, and genres as tools for bringing out human voices of science and fostering sci/society conversations. We'll also work on devising a performative outreach event.

A reminder to join us for the STS Science Communication Final Showcase on May 6th 2025! We will have a special guest panel from 6-7pm with Subhadra Das, Priya Joi, Alfredo Carpineti, and Lara Joannides. For more details https://bit.ly/4iWeuwZ

New interview with yours truly on #linguisticjustice & letting 100 flowers blossom: www.contralytic.co.uk/conversation...

Looking forward to that!

Saturday morning: some hit the gym, others the back door of local waterstones to finish a book review 😶‍🌫️

(Running events is easier than not forgetting to attach a photo, so here's it 😛 For once, both of us in the same frame!) @hscottfordsmand.bsky.social

...and thus the Wisdom of Warm-ups will be passed to the upcoming STSers and philosophers of science 😇 Congratulations @hscottfordsmand.bsky.social , your journey is inspiring!

Last night on London -. Staged a piece with some lovely people at the Baron's Court Sunday Fix. Great time!

Eh, I look at it and cannot but steal it. Was experimenting with some special effects for our "Living Science" here, heheh. (More photos to come!)

(1) Molecules perform functions to support life. Scientists perform functions to study the molecules. But who are these scientists? What is it to be the one? Come to learn with us at the PDN this Sat (22d) through the exciting performance and discussion! @cambridgefestival.bsky.social

Last two Saturdays @hscottfordsmand.bsky.social and I worked with a group of creative postdocs from the PDN Dpt to devise an outreach performance for the @cambridgefestival.bsky.social. This Sat (22d), we will share our work with you! Come to PDN Dpt at 1 pm. CU there! (registration link below)

My "Boil, Pour, Stir" for the Fletcher's Players evening of new writing last Tuesday at the Corpus Playroom. If (when!) it becomes a full piece, I shall stick to the same design 😎

Saturday @anatoliikozlov.bsky.social and I had a #CultureLab workshop with scientists, to prepare the @cambridgefestival.bsky.social performance: *Living Science*. We discussed trust and time - in science and in life - whistled, got comfortable with oddity, made up silly stories, and laughed a lot.

Hello!.. Yes? it's me!.. Yes, I'm on my way to run the half a day creative workshop for the Cambridge Festival! Saturday morning? The best time!

“You are who you cite” - Today at #CultureLab we explored citation and reference through collage; leading to conversations on the commodification of science, on how references frame or direct interpretations, on cultural symbols, and on the many uncitable influences✨ @anatoliikozlov.bsky.social

Quite striking things popped up about how we use specialised language when we looked at a scientific article through the prism of haiku!

The next one is already today! We'll be infusing some creativity into scientific writing 💫

The first "TheCultureLab" of Lent! We tapped into science's multilingualism with a panel of exercises inspired by Peter Brook's work. How incredible it was to see the practical facets of communication crystallise right in front of us through the performative work of our great PDN postdocs.

Un brief voyage à Paris, - and one more classroom seamlessly transformed into a theatre space. This was by far the most challenging workshop: 3 hrs for creating and producing and some 20 inquisitive minds from philosophy, cog-sci and history of art to provoke.

I wrote this poem today in the @anatoliikozlov.bsky.social creativity workshop at ICARUS seminar

The last workshop of the term, a true culmination. We drifted into spaces of ideating about ideals and utopias of science. And as the final treat -the moving feedback from our dear fellow scientists. Can’t wait to re-start the workshops in the next term. Cheers to us, @hscottfordsmand.bsky.social!

A small but still a treat - staging a piece for the tomorrow's Dryden Society scratch night at Trinity

The Culture Lab, session 2: science and affects. Another 1.5h of joyful exploration of scientific research culture. @hscottfordsmand.bsky.social @cambridgeuni.bsky.social

What induces imagination? I make my way forward via imaginative exercises that help to contrast philosophical instructions with evocative writing prompts. A post for Amy Kind's @amylkind.bsky.social Junkyard of Mind junkyardofthemind.com/blog/2024/3/...
