Tom Lehrer was a genius. It wasn’t his most important role, but he was an excellent connection between my Dad’s thing (satirical song), and my own (the sociology of science). A thread of some sociology of science bangers…

For Map Wizardry at last week's #EsriUC2025, inspired by a map in an old Sports Illustrated, I made "Golf of America" - a pictorial map of all the golf courses in the contiguous US with an appropriately positioned title. Feel free to download a copy. carto.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.ht...

Hi! My name is Madina, I’m a current masters student. For my dissertation, I’m exploring how effective citizen science is in raising awareness on air pollution in BAME communities in London. I’ve created a short anon survey. Only takes a few minutes to complete! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

As if I needed more reasons to be horrified by the practices and pollution of LLM companies. Destroying millions of books, most will be unimportant, but maybe some rare (e.g. acadmic short print runs)? I guess that you'll get 90-9-1 with popular books? arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/a...

We find that people want good to last 10 years+. But they could last longer in a new economy that prioritises repair www.frontiersin.org/journals/sus...

With help from a lot of people, I've created a #YouTube playlist of 30 clips/promos/teasers of European #CitizenScience projects - covering more or less the last decade, including the one with @colombewarin.bsky.social & the science bus, and many more... www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlRt... 1/2

The participatory science conference in Portland, OR - thoughts from the conference #CitizenScience #ParticipatoryResearch #CommunityScience

The June issue of our digital magazine the "Citizen Science Lighthouse" is now published. It focuses on the future of #citizenscience, a topic that urgently needs our collective reflection.

Getting my copy of #theAICon at the end of #caps25. Talked about a version of it in the conference. How come scientists suspect data quality from #citizenScience but happily run into using data and results from #AI? It's the CS-AI paradox...
