"Writing for an audience of scientists would force historians of science to look up and outwards from trends within their discipline. It would also oblige them to forge new kinds of narratives." Here's looking at you #sts #histm

New from Lorraine Daston & Peter Harrison "COVID-19 pandemic showed us all that neither scientists nor historians have done a particularly good job of explaining how science works: that fierce controversy over how to make sense of empirical results is a feature, not a bug"

Okay suggestions please - clips/ short films for teaching about nonhuman agency of various kinds? Fairly light, as it's for an end of term environmental class. So far am thinking Spirited Away (parents becoming pigs and the river dragon), but could do with more ideas?

“Smart: A History of Intelligence” by David Brydan (published with @wearefootnote.bsky.social) is out for the world to read!
The book explores the people and projects that have shaped the idea of modern intelligence.

Smart
We encounter the idea of intelligence everywhere in our modern lives. Parents are told that their children will grow up smart if they are made to listen to Mozart, play with the right toys, and eat…

Interesting thought. Already happening/interacting with #STS in studies of organisations, collaboration, interdisciplinarity etc. Also raises nice meta Qs for #histm #philsci on when, where, whether there has been 'psychology of science' + relationships with STS, HPS etc
annaalexandrova.bsky.social Anna Alexandrova @annaalexandrova.bsky.social · Dec 19
Interesting informed proposal for a psychology of science. People who study causal learning, concept acquisition, updating of beliefs are already doing some of this. But this is more specific, including the idea of studying wellbeing in science, which i like a lot (especially if it covers illbeing!)
balazsaczel.bsky.social Balazs Aczel @balazsaczel.bsky.social · Dec 18
You must have of history, philosophy, maybe sociology of science.
What about psychology of science?
Are the inner factors of scientists not an important area to study? I disagree and propose an agenda for psychology of science here: rdcu.be/dtSWj at

MAFF poster showing a gigantic rat menacing farm buildings, Godzilla style. Caption: GET RID OF FARM RATS, IT CAN BE DONE MAFF poster showing a villainous looking squirrel on a branch. Caption DESTROY THE GREY SQUIRREL; label on top says Bonus Doubled MAFF poster showing a coypu.

Really good news - the return of public COVID data following a period of governmental 'looking away' from the problem. Also super interesting that UKHSA envisioning this as ongoing public health infrastructure for many infectious diseases. #sts #histmed #histm
New UK infections dashboard will help public track Covid, cold and flu outbreaks
During the pandemic, the Covid dashboard played a critical role in controlling the spread of the virus and became the most-viewed government website ever

Jan 21st, 1677. Commemorating that little #EarlyModern turning point, Thacher's Smallpox pamphlet ('America's 1st medical publication'), which suggests curing th pox by diet.

Jenner developed vaccination in 1796, but untold millions kept dying until the WHO convinced us all to vaccinate in 1967.
A page of Reverend Thomas Thacher’s pamphlet, “A Brief Rule to guide the Common People of New England How to order themselves and theirs in the Small Pocks, or Measles,” which was published on January 21st, 1677.
