Interested in how experts respond to crises of #trust? (Or want to hear more about why Japanese PMs keep eating food from Fukushima for the cameras?) A thread on my latest paper in Soc_Stud_Sci 🧵👇 #sts #sciencecommunication journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03… /1

Finally, some years of work and engagement have materialised in this encyclopedia of #STS. Many thanks to the + 90 authors who contributed! And what a pleasure it has been to go on that adventure with Alan Irwin - thanks for being such a great colleague, conspirator and friend!

It is a wonderful feeling for an editor to see the encyclopedia out in the world. From my department STSvienna Universität Wien see contributions by Max Fochler on valuation, Katja Mayer on big data and AI, Nina Klimburg-Witjes on outer space and myself on time in research. Enjoy the reading.

A chatbot suggested posting this paper—Chats Between Bots—to #AIethics. “As the global experiment in AI “blitzscaling” continues to ramify, choices—whether intentional, inadvertent, emergent, or orchestrated—grow increasingly normalized.” Read it here: ChatsBetweenBots.com
