New module trivia: agrobiz try to bolster crop yields by GM their herbicidal tolerance, only for weeds (p. amaranth) to learn glyphosate resistance (Landecker 2024). In 3,000 y.o. Chinese oracles, amaranth is used as elemental metaphor for longevity, holding on (tight-enough) in moral deliberation.

Nothing like a digital tidy-up to rediscover one's own thinking. Found a cool paper I gave back in 2018 and the panel I convened for the Science in Public conference, on topologies of collaboration, interdisciplinary sites, and biosocial research.

@lighthousebks.bsky.social “ecosystems of change” book fair looking rad and Steve McQueen’s project “Resistance” on the history of protest + photography in Britain @nationalgalleries.bsky.social
Not to be missed!

As we surf the post-X wave of “oh, they’ve resuscitated LinkedIN?!” here’s some unsolicited (visual) advice:

Our own @kacheston.bsky.social, (FHSI-MB postdoc with IMH and Health Soc Theory Group) presenting her work on medically unexplained symptoms, ME/CFS and stigma

Harriet Cooper, always on point, talking about stigma, ambivalence of ‘exposition’ in literary studies, and privileged parent memoirs of raising disabled children.

“Recalibrating Stigma” book contents and Jen Remnant talking on how identity, esp in the UK, is defined by work and productivity, and the move to conceive of disability and sickness quite flatly as their opposite. Brilliant and absolutely vital work!

On #WorldOceansDay I am reminded of this amazing underwater sonic incursion. I’m used to listening and parsing for bird song in forests, moors, marshes. Listening to the sea from a rockpool is quite distinct: the bubbling of inconspicuous life, often seized by acoustic pollution

Post-summer school, pre-eruption Sicily. Come to think of it, in Herzog voice-over, as a melting pot, dramatic landscape artist, offering Caponatas e Busiata alle sarde, train-ferries, Medusa heads and Santa Rosalia, patron saint of biodiversity. Volcano and Latin 🎥 geeks, come to Leith next week👇🏼

Haven’t posted a #MonochromeMonday in a while, so here’s a pair from Milano: “Il cuore / Il dito”.
The 2nd piece is the (in)famous piece L.O.V.E by Cattelan: a hand salute with all severed fingers but one, permanently placed in front of the stock exchange building.

Happy #EarthDay! Here’s a cerulean blue passionflower, impressive geometry, biblically named. It’s magnificent that Flora, much like music, can express harmony and grace, rhythm and colour, power and vulnerability as openness to the outer - this is the language that Coltrane called a Love Supreme.

I’ll call this trio of #TinyJoys “weaving the patterns of time”

Nothing like a skillful and detailed graphic recording to capture some of the most evocative moments of this symposium. Delighted that we reflected on the interplay of climate advocacy, connectivity and social justice

Amidst somber news, sights of #TinyJoys

What an amazing Premiere of “Opens and Closes: the Future of Edinburgh's Histories” by the one and only @allartmarkets.bsky.social and @sapphiregoss.bsky.social at the @edfuturesinstitute.bsky.social. Buzzing w/ visual metaphors, the poetics of accountants, and topographies of pasts & futures!

Went to volunteer at community centre and found Puppy Yoga? 😳🤔🤭 #TinyJoys

Something about hiking, wild swimming and foraging that’s truly life affirming. Nature’s bounty 🍇
