"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

Such a tremendous loss for STS and legal anthropology! Will miss his sharp analysis, humour, and graceful disposition...

While it's not as magical as in 1978, when I first visited, still worth experiencing. Not to forget Solo, only a few hours away, and much quieter....

A revealing report from Rachel Yang on our Sydney meeting last year on the social sciences of epidemic intelligence and disease modelling, when we discussed 'epistemic preparedness' - much to ponder. Organised with @sonjavw.bsky.social & @karilancaster.bsky.social @4sweb.bsky.social #STS #histstm
