Excited to be convening this symposium with @martinsavransky.bsky.social, inviting encounters with what it means to take ‘the planetary condition’ seriously, and to rethink health in relation to it. Two big days of ideas and provocations ahead!

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 🫶

In Bath? Join us for a special public lecture by Professor Warwick Anderson @wombatscholar.bsky.social, Planetary Health beyond Spaceship Earth.

Thursday 31 July 5:30pm, Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution @brlsi.bsky.social.

What a fantastic week visiting @burnetinstitute.bsky.social for our annual NHMRC Synergy grant colloquium. Enlivening discussions about the complexities of intervening in the ‘endgame’ of HCV elimination, and how STS can help us to think differently about elimination science and implementation.

Home in Oz, spending this week in Naarm Melbourne for our annual @sthv.bsky.social Editorial Collective meeting. Two days of big ideas and STS plans. The smiles say it all 🤓🙏💫
