What's common between the creativity tests and meat-imitating food? Social interactions and formal modelling? Trembling Earth and a trembling body? Our suggestion is: performativity.

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

A minute contribution of mine, while I'm sitting behind the community sites at @biologists.bsky.social this summer 🌿

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?

We'll have speakers from Cambridge Carbon Footprint, Raspberry Pi Foundation, YMCA Childcare, among others

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
The other modules cover things like: public relations, community engagement, science writing, education, diplomacy, etc, and the speakers are great.
Have a look - like - share

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.

New interview with yours truly on #linguisticjustice & letting 100 flowers blossom: www.contralytic.co.uk/conversation...
Looking forward to that!
Great coda:
"the figurative potential of mathematics in literature enriches our imaginative conceptions of space, time, and being, engaging with the structural science's liberating creativity while resisting weaponized, quantified simplifications of the world."
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!
