Cool! And what a photo! @michielbron.bsky.social - you're one of the few STS folks I've found writing about in situ recovery. Would you be willing to chat sometime?

Hey @ccmmody.bsky.social - I’ve been looking more into uranium mining and processing and it didn’t take long to find oil! Excited to read more of your student Michiel’s work.
Screenshot, job description: The “Ethical Technology Transitions to Mitigate Climate Change” program seeks one PhD student to be advised by Dr. Emily Grubert either in Notre Dame’s Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences (CEEES) program (School of Engineering) or the Sustainable Development (SD) program (Keough School of Global Affairs). This position is fully funded for four years (anticipated stipend: $36,000/year) and will be supported by the resources associated with the Ethics and the Common Good program chair for three years, with remaining funding to come from other sources that might carry additional deliverable requirements (e.g., a secondary project) that will be clearly communicated to the candidate. The primary research area for this position will focus on ethical considerations related to technology deployment for reducing and removing greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere, with a particular focus either on modeling distributional effects of particular deployment patterns associated with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions pathways (CEEES PhD) or on designing governance systems for emerging technology systems, including Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR); hydrogen; renewable electricity; or end use electrification technologies (SD PhD). Teaching requirements are aligned with the requirements of the specific degree program. Funding is available for conference attendance, and students will have the opportunity to work with and/or mentor undergraduate research assistants.
🚨job alert🚨
I'm looking to hire at least one PhD student for next year, looking at decarbonization-oriented technology deployment within an ethical frame of resource allocation and justice outcomes.
Full ad attached! Pref for CEEES admissions; deadline is 1 January.
Are you researching the multiple modes of agency, participation, and design engaged in low carbon transitions? We are accepting contributions for the special issue "Co-creating Low-Carbon Transitions". Abstracts are due on October 1, 2025.

No! What a find! They were everywhere…
We are so thrilled to have been included - and are excited to see the rest of the special issue!
Super proud to share the research Casey lead on how climate change is shifting the co-existence of agriculture and artisanal gold mining in rural Colombia! @sthv.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
First they came for the "DEI and justice" grants, and when they purged those with success, now are going after the others. When are we going to learn this historical lesson?
The May 5th deadline for Energy Ethics 2026 is coming up!
High five!
“[Wyoming leaders] like to talk about our work ethic and how we love our workers; We get the job done and we don’t complain,” Kindred said. “But when it comes time to put our policies and our efforts where our mouth is, we just want workers to be our mascot. We don’t really want to support them...”
Beyond thrilled to join the ranks of #CarnegieFellows, spend next year's sabbatical doing research in Gillette and Pueblo, and draft my next book manuscript about how the #energytransition is reshaping the political landscape for working Americans.
Join @mettehigh.bsky.social, @energy-ethics.bsky.social and myself in St Andrews for Energy Ethics 2026. Excited to reflect on how much has changed in the ten years since our original conference. Info on submitting panel abstracts & registering: energyethics.st-andrews.ac.uk/ee2026/ee202...

Le management et l'ingénierie partagent une longue histoire.
Ce numéro de Engineering Studies rappelle que l'histoire a montré que la science appliquée n'est pas neutre.
La montée de l'autoritarisme devrait inciter les ingénieurs à réfléchir de manière critique à leur rôle social.
More bold than my usual brand, but absolutely necessary for what we are living. Thank you @ccmmody.bsky.social, @engrstudies.bsky.social, @dmriley.bsky.social, @jenn-rossmann.bsky.social.

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email (klangin@aaas.org) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.
if you know of any promising undergraduates interested in getting a master's degree in an STS-related field, please point them toward the ESST (1-year) and CAST (2-year) programs. outstanding instructors, curriculum, fellow students & training for a PhD or many other careers.
So do we have contract law anymore or nah?

Excellent and highly anticipated special issue!
Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.
And nary a word on Herzog's recent "reality check" on DAC! energy.mit.edu/news/technol...
Sounds wonderful - thank you!
And Betty! Mines is conspicuously absent otherwise 🫣. I'm having lunch with Stan next week! Where did you find this one?
Amen! Frustration with how rural folks and miners are portrayed by academics is also what inspired my dissertation on Wyoming miners. “Who’s going to trust the experts when that’s what the experts have to say about you?” www.nytimes.com/2024/06/29/b...
This is the way. If low marriage rates are denying people the benefits of marriage, the answer is not coercing or shaming people into marriage--it's granting those benefits to support the many ways people do build community, stability, and family.
