Guillermo del Toro is about to release his film adaptation of Frankenstein, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m completely in love with this beautiful and timeless story, and I can’t wait to see its characters come to life on screen! 🧟♂️
I was attending the Technorep seminar (ehess 2018-2019) when prof Ilana Löwy recommended that everyone on reproductive technologies should read this book, and I finally finished it, and it's brilliant. Mary Shelley is a pioneer in science fiction. Just sharing the recommendation for all in #STS

Reviewing the (scientific) literature on data, I came across this quote mentioned in a paper: ‘The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.’ — Oscar Wilde. Loved it.

I just read Clarissa Reche's post and I am really glad to see this network flourishing! The Feminist STS community in Latin America has a great contribution to offer to this field, and it is great to see this body of work coming together in a network!
For 40+ years, feminist researchers have reshaped science with critique & care. RAFeCT— Latin American feminist network—now shares a 4-part blog series. From Indigenous feminism to cyborg youth & critiques of misogyny in academia, we sow seeds for just futures.
