#introduction Hi all :) I'm working on a PhD on #STS, specifically studying the #openhardware for science movement. As an activist I'm interested in feminist approaches to tech which I try to implement in meet ups, workshops, etc. A big part of my time goes to working as open as STS lets me, another big part goes to WikiData because I love it. Beautiful communities are what keep me existing through late capitalism, so here I am in Mastodon <3.
Join me to learn about open science hardware at #SummerSchool starting nowww!
open science, open hardware, right to repair
New post-- I share why I think it's important for us, open science hw people, to address more the repair angle of #openhardware, together with the #righttorepair movement
Summer school, recordings
Really happy to be presenting at the #summerschool :D Also wishing all talks can get recorded so I can check them after this ultra busy week...
I spent the weekend playing with #Wikidata at the #WikidataZH hackathon and it was more fun than I could have imagined! Dipped my toes into Shiny for the first time too.
Thanks for the invite, @cassandreces!
For those of you who may have missed it, documentary on the stories of the #dogs supporting #Chile students' protests in 2013

Politics, Bolivia
I can't believe I'm living to see an old-fashioned military coup in Bolivia.
I'm really sad. You may like or dislike Evo, but this shows how much the right-wing accepts democracy as a method.
They entered the house of government with a bible, and people outside were setting indigenous flags on fire. It's cultural revenge.
STS books, irony
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 [..]"
music, happiness
Today, in music that makes me happy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY1XtWyKlJA
Argentina, politics, science, sadness
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.
