Delighted to announce (in true LinkedIn style) that I have been offered a Leverhulme Research Leadership Award for nearly £1m to research "Technology and the (future) Human in War". 2026 is going to be a busy one! SO many thanks to those lovely humans who supported the bid :)

Today's "I wish I had written that" is "Experimentation in humanitarian locations: UNCHR and biometric registration of Afghan refugees" by Katja Lindskov Jacobsen. Particularly love the clear and accessible analysis of STS contribution to IR. Definitely recommend!
