This is a wonderful interview with Celia Roberts www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1... who has pioneered the study of hormones as messengers of meaning. Also (selfishly), a fairly major academic moment for me as an ECR when someone whose work you love finds your own “inspiring”.
Hormones as (Rebellious) Messengers – An Interview with Professor Celia Roberts from the Australian National University

It's true! After a few years of work and waiting, this little book is here--suitable for use in intro anth and sociology classes, and a remedy for evidence-free policy proposals (I've been telling people it's like reading the @nytimes.com editorial page, but with actual evidence!).
Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer's @mw-m.bsky.social Forerunner, Proposals for a Caring Economy, offering models of care beyond capitalist constraints, is out now! Read an excerpt here: nextcity.org/urbanist-new...
Visions of a Caring Economy
A new book explores what it would look like to build an economy that places care and caregiving work at the forefront.

In research and teaching on the social lives of hormones over the last five years it has always struck me how little attention is given (by public and researchers) to oral contraceptives and their interactions with other drugs. Now we are seeing the consequences: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

A screening of Dziga Vertov's 1929 documentary Man with a Movie Camera at Glasgow Film Theatre (GFT) with a live score from Cinematic Orchestra, I think around 2002.
What’s your best memory of watching a movie? I’m not asking what the best movie you’ve ever seen is, I’m asking about the experience of watching that movie. Doesn’t matter if it was in a theater or at home. What’s your favorite memory associated with watching a movie and why?
