Thanks to @aussts.bsky.social for an immensely stimulating, challenging, convivial, and inspiring conference. I’m leaving #AusSTS2025 with a head full of ideas, re-energised by conversations with colleagues and kin. There is a very special STS community in the antipodes 🫶

Lots to be said about your other questions, too - probably more than a short response box can manage!

Elizabeth Stephens @elizabethstephens.bsky.social · Jul 10

Good questions, Ian! There isn’t a lot of documentation, but local hospitals and doctors referred the babies because this was their only chance of survival. Once known, parents also brought in their babies independently.
