In 1996, Brewster Kahle wrote "Preserving the Internet" for Scientific American. Nearly 30 years later, it’s striking how many of his predictions about digital preservation came true—and how many challenges remain.

Let’s compare 1996 vs 2025 🧵

Verkligen! Plus att uppmärksamma att mer resurser och erkännande av bibliotekens roll behövs borde väl verkligen ligga i chefernas intresse.

Har också häpnat över den där diskussionen och hur det misstolkats till att handla om klagande bibliotekarier. Problemet är väl att biblioteken kommit att få ett brett uppdrag för att andra instanser stängt, utan att få ett officiellt breddat uppdrag eller att resurser följt med, vilket är bananas!

“Should I pretend I, as an intersex person, don’t exist?” - Georgiann Davis www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Contributor: I'm an intersex professor. Am I supposed to lie by teaching 'only male and female'?

A campaign against teachers who acknowledge realities of human biology forces a choice: Teach truth and risk your job, or lie and maybe keep it.

The most inspiring read of my summer. James Bridle’s Ways of Being is a beautiful and thought-provoking essay on the entanglement of humans, nature and technologies, and ideas about what intelligence is and how to build ”smart” machines.

Hi #STS peers and other ethnographers!
I am looking for good work on ethics of ethnographic research. In general but also particularly in healthcare/medical settings. Do you have any suggestions? Please, let me know! #STS #ethnography #research #researchethics

So sad, Callon was such an important figure in STS. Who can forget those scallops? I met him once at the École des Mines, Bruno Latour introduced us, around 1990 - that was it. I wish I'd gotten to know him, too late now - yet the scallops and ANT live on

The Center for the sociology of innovation learned with great sadness that Michel Callon has passed away.

A graduate of the École des Mines, Michel joined the center in the late 1960s and was its director from 1982 to 1994.

I am happy to share that I am starting a position as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Technology & Society, with a specialization in #STS & medical AI, at Lund University.
I will work in two research projects exploring ethical & epistemological dimensions of AI-supported predictive precision medicine 😊

In the article I explore AI experts' truth practices and valuations of ground truths in medical AI development. It makes visible the role of human expertise and the perceived strengths and limits of expert-based annotations and medical classifications. #STS #AI #CriticalAI #CriticalDataStudies
