When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit.
Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention.
Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"

So - what's going on here, you might ask. This is Farhana's response to a post referring to two natural scientists - a physicist and an earth scientist - who are asking questions about humans - to each other. Farhana suggests (rightly) that these questions would be better put to social scientists 1/

Latest thing (in press) is a ch. "Beyond #COVID19: Caring by words in #longcovid discourses in #Japan and #Sweden". On what do they look similar and on what else do they differ? uclpress.co.uk/book/covids-... coming April 2025. I can't wait to get it. Manderson and Burke are amazing editors.

Here's a start at a Starter Pack for #medanthro, broadly defined. Some of these folks might not call themselves medical anthropologists, but if they study health, healing systems, or human biology in context, I've included them. Let me know who else should be added to the list.
