#introduction Hi all :) I'm working on a Ph.D. on #STS, specifically studying the #openhardware for science movement (check openhardware.science). As an activist I'm interested in feminist approaches to tech. I worked on a community space trying that in Buenos Aires (ARG), I'm currently planning to start one in Geneva (CH). Half of my time also goes to personaldata.io (WikiData <3). Beautiful communities are what keep me existing through late capitalism, so here I am in Mastodon <3.

Which are the things you learned/are learning during your PhD, that you value the most?

From 'The handbook of Scientific and Technology Studies' (MIT Press, 2007):

"The British government’s Office of Science and Innovation [...] emphasizes the shift
from the older PUS (Public Understanding of Science) model to a new PEST (Public
Engagement with Science and Technology) approach.

There is reason, beyond the occasionally revealing acronyms 😆 , to treat this rhetoric of “engagement” with caution [..]"

Today, in music that makes me happy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY1XtWyKlJA

Anyone here writes social sciences thesis in the open? GitLab, GitHub or similar?

Is there anything worse than transcribing interviews that happened in different languages?

Is there anything worse than transcribing interviews?

Maybe imploring people to complete surveys?

I can't decide 🤔

Apertura de las sesiones legislativas. Una mentira atrás de otra. Nostalgia de cuando la Ciencia Argentina tenía un lugar en el Congreso y las políticas del país.

a) You assign yourself a task that no one is doing in an open community

b) You open the discussion, no one participates

c) After 2 months, you make some decisions in order to advance

d) You are told "cool initiative, but who is deciding on this"

🤦‍♀️

Biology/Physics folks, what do you think of the ideas in this article (published 2 years ago)?
