That’s a wrap for my first AusSTS conference @aussts.bsky.social! Talked about COVID conspiracy theories in the Philippines—always fun!—and moving beyond thinking about them as mere ‘unscientific noise’. Naarm has been swell, but this weather is something else.

Fantastic keynote panel session this morning on Infrastructures of Noise at #AusSTS2025 #SignalsAndNoises. Will share notes at end of week, key pieces that resonated were the way that loudspeakers as speech technology shape our cultures and rituals - Dang Nguyen.
