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.

Open access (no paywall) article in Social Science and Medicine, outlining 'the sociology of prescribing'. This is the sort of literature I wish I had access to in one place during my PhD. I outline sociological contributions to understanding drug prescribing.

I still haven’t really clicked with Bluesky… has anyone figured out how to improve their feed? I mostly followed starter packs of sociologists and STS scholars, yet I rarely see posts from those folks on here… are we all not using this platform as much? Or am I doing something wrong?
