Earlier today, @STS_News asked about researchers studying the history of #standardization.
That reminded me that I haven't had a chance to share some of the highlights from @LindaHall_org's latest exhibition: The #Standards That Built America!

Time for a 🧵! (1/8) #histSTM #STS
Curated by reference assistant David Crawford, this exhibition showcases a few of the 100,000+ industrial #standards in LHL's stacks.
Many of these standards were once part of the Engineering Societies Library & are hard to find anywhere else! (2/8)

LHL's #standards are often overlooked compared to our #RareBooks & #Journals, but they tell an important #engineering story. Groups like @ansidotorg, @IEEESA & @isostandards have helped promote interoperability, safety & accessibility in a variety of technological contexts. (3/8)
Officially finished the second semester @TUM_STS!
Was asked recently: "What would you say are the most impactful pieces you've read so far?"
To mark this accomplishment of completing the first year of graduate school - here is an #STS inspired reading list (12 total)

They are broken up into two broad themes:
- Most impactful to me personally (First 6)
- Most impactful and now foundational to #STS as a discipline (after the person graduated from the field) (Second 6)
*Just my opinion, so eager to hear what others might choose*

We are proud to present the next issue (Number 3, July 2022) of Technology and Culture, the leading journal in the history of technology; it draws on scholarship in diverse disciplines to publish insightful pieces intended for general readers and specialists. Let's review!
In following weeks and months we'll highlight each article more specifically and connect authors and communities on twitter when possible but this thread will be a general roundup of it all for the general #histSTM #STS #envhist #history #digitalsts #computing #mediastudies crowd
Kirill Chunikhin opens with a reflection on the cover of the July 2022 issue in "Establishing Eye Contact with One Historical Photograph"

This is a thoughtful little essay that asks if gender is unique to humans and if so why. She discusses an extensive array of misconceptions by biologists and evolutionary psychologists. sapiens.org/culture/gender… 1/3
Especially those who fail to recognize the socially conservative ideas that Victorian-age scientists injected into their epistemologies and understanding of the natural world. Their often young and overly positivist heirs thus tend to perpetuate harmful stereotypes about… 2/3
… humans and animals. One example for this amalgamation of (regressive) human values and value lead observation is the title of @Frollein_VogelV|s talk “Geschlecht ist nicht (Ge)schlecht,

@ashleyshoo This is the 4th episode of #STSshorts, a new video series in which we dialogue with a researcher, lecturer, writer, and eclectic human in the #STS discipline or related fields.
~30 mins in length.
The goal is to highlight and hopefully introduce a new audience to their work.

Today, on #InternationalWomensDay I'd like to celebrate 10 amazing academics who've changed the fields of #STS #STEM and social sciences, and made significant impact on my own research. Follow them, come work with them, read and cite their work! #WomensDay #AcademicTwitter
Alondra Nelson @alondra is the first #STS scholar to have become a science advisor to the President of the United States. Prof. Nelson is recognized for her pioneering studies of #genetics #race and #technology and for years she's worked to support social sciences in the US.
Shoshana Zuboff @shoshanazuboff. Everyone's read The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. It is in Prof. Zuboff's terms that we all discuss #BigTech and the privacy crisis that challenges our democratic institutions. #SurveillanceCapitalism
A thread on the life of Rohith Vemula, Dalit PhD scholar at the University of Hyderabad, who was born this day in 1989. Follow the thread to know more about this beacon of hope for all of us who dare to imagine and hope for an anti-caste future.
Rohith was born to Radhika Vemula in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. Radhika is a Dalit woman who herself faced casteist treatment from her adoptive family. Rohith's experiences of he and his mother being treated differently due to their Dalit identities informed his later politics.
Rohith was doing a PhD in #science, #technology and #society (#STS) studies. In 2015, things took a turn for the worst. The then-president of UoH's ABVP unit, N. Susheel Kumar, complained to the univ. against alleged physical assault by Rohith and 4 other Ambedkarite students.
I´m looking at how the #6sworkshop in @EASST4S_2020 is being prepared in PECE by @Honoluluskye @ThylacineReport and @katiemulrich with 7 wonderful activities to reflect, share and prepare master and dissertation work.Loving the focus on Open Access that they are bringing it. #STS
@EASST4S_2020 @Honoluluskye @ThylacineReport @katiemulrich I´m particularly impress with the idea of the books covers. Look these beauties! lithub.com/the-12-best-bo… lithub.com/the-15-best-bo… lithub.com/the-16-best-bo…

Took their time getting to this one. @histoftech pointed it out four and a half years ago () and it's been used as a teaching example by #sts folk (). A natural outcome of Google's "launch, quietly stop development, forget" mentality.
FWIW, today's urgent priority fix (as trumpeted, absurdly, by Oliver Dowden) relates to the missing image only. The timeline is still completely unable to handle non-consecutive terms in office.

I suppose it's a mercy they stopped at Bonar Law, because this would make a right mess in the C19. Gladstone on this reading was an old buffer who somehow out of nowhere ended up as PM of a shaky minority administration for a year and a bit in the 1890s.

How could we TOLERATE strange provision like #Article370 for about 70 long years ?
How #bizarre was the decision to introduce provision like #Article370 in the Indian Constitution that compromised the SUPREMACY of #IndianParliament & #IndianConstitution !

A fantastic thread on specific examples of breeding applicable interdisciplinarity.
In fact, I think we can go further, and designers can help.
In fact, I think we can go further, and designers can help.
There's a trend here.
In a lot of different environments, designers are realizing there's useful and powerful theories, insights, and communities from disciplines they never considered; and there happens to be a reactionary clash from the communities who live in that space.

We have an opportunity here.
Sometimes that clash is valuable, because it offers space for people to acknowledge, voice, and catalyze a community to make their knowledge known.
But sometimes, we can connect without friction, and towards a collective goal.

🧬 In order to combat GMO pseudoscience we must be empathetic towards the people with a valid fear of what biotech science can bring. Folks like @GMWatch, @USRightToKnow, @biobeef, @foe_us, @beef, @yesmaam74 etc...
🍔 The @ImpossibleFoods GMO burger is tearing up the scene waking people up to the gustatory possibilities tech can bring to the plate. Dozens of companies with similar innovations have sprung up. Too many to list here.
🤝 There's an opportunity here giving human tastebuds less influence in the cognitive dissonance clash that otherwise pits humans against others.

VS ambassadeur @petehoekstra stelde zondag in @Buitenhoftv terecht vast dat Trump en @groenlinks dezelfde mening zijn toegedaan over 5G.
Hopelijk noopt dit tot een herziening van de positie van @groenlinks vwbt de voorwaarden van de infrastructuur van de informatie samenleving.

In plaats van protectionisme en geopolitiek zouden de mogelijkheid tot begrijpen en onderzoeken van de technologie en haar impact op burgers en hun mensenrechten als voorwaarde moeten worden gesteld.
Concreet betekent dit als eisen voor de infrastructuur: open hardware, open source software, reproducible builds, proof of work en human rights impact assessments.
Generally debates our problems with the Internet concentrate on application layer issues, such as platforms and algorithms, while the Internet architecture is still perceived as engine of innovation. This is WRONG.
The Internet architecture is where the privatization and commercialization of the Internet has started.
Up to the early 90s commercial traffic was actually forbidden on the Internet.
Also innovation has been made very hard in the architecture, especially on core protocols.

Initially all computers connected to the Internet were equal.
Also this was undermined through Internet architecture (with the introduction of NAT directionality).
