This sums up how I also feel after the wonderful @aussts.bsky.social conference this week. Thank you to all organisers and presenters 🙌🏼
Attending #AusSTS25 has left me intellectually and emotionally full—it’s one of those rare feelings in academic life where you find your people, where every conversation leaves you with more than it takes.

Presenting in the making & doing session @aussts.bsky.social was a fantastic opportunity to show and discuss the materiality of creative research.

That’s a wrap for my first AusSTS conference @aussts.bsky.social! Talked about COVID conspiracy theories in the Philippines—always fun!—and moving beyond thinking about them as mere ‘unscientific noise’. Naarm has been swell, but this weather is something else.

Really enjoyed this talk, and came away asking: How might this exchange of display for medical care fit with the medical crowd-funding of today? #AusSTS25

Was a privilege to be a small part of this conversation opening #AusSTS this year. Looking forward to two more days of amazing papers and workshops.
And now for our first keynote panel on "Infrastructures of Noise" 🎛️ chaired by Glen Berman @glenberman.bsky.social helping us to wade through the current information ecosystem moment where misinformation is mistaken for signal and meaningful relation is increasingly filtered out as noise
