Hello friends. We made a podcast. It's about nature in Los Angeles. Rats, mountain lions, sustainability, coyotes, feral cats, hazing, and also, Satan. @uclasustainla @uclaioes newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/l…

Intricacies of L.A.’s urban ecosystem are focus of new UCLA podcast

“The Labyrinth Project” engages listeners in a range of ecological conundrums that are as interconnected as the city’s ecosystems.

Here's one way to understand what has happened to the public university in the last 5 years: My bookmarks used to look like this: library.ucla.edu, it.ucla.edu, hr.ucla.edu, etc. Now they all look like this:… mastodon.social/@ckelty/1096…

“The two scientists sat there thinking, or appearing to think, staring at the robot that continued to move on the table.” nytimes.com/2023/01/06/scien…

‘Consciousness’ in Robots Was Once Taboo. Now It’s the Last Word. (Published 2023)

The pursuit of artificial awareness may be humankind’s next moonshot. But it comes with a host of difficult questions.

apropos of any future STS handbook this editorial raises great points about method. #ESOCITE4S22 #sts

As chair of the 4S publications committee, I am chairing a workshop at #ESOCITE4S22 Cholula to think about the next "STS Handbook." Join me Friday between 11-1 in A110. Spread the word, engage here with the idea, participate? #STS 🐘[email protected] 1/7

Does STS need a new edition of the handbook? Can such efforts actually "represent" the field rather than creating new exclusions? What is a programmatic statement for a field as diverse as STS? 6/7 #ESOCITE4S22 #STS

And if not a handbook, then what? And of course... can it create some revenue for the 4S and not be a cost to the membership? So many questions! Join me in Mexico to discuss! 7/7 #ESOCITE4S22 #STS

Very excited to have published an article with the incomparable Soledad Altrudi about Los Angeles, Nextdoor, and arbitrary domination, three things I love to hate! doi.org/10.1215/22011919-996…

The article is based in hundreds of conversations on the platform about wildlife in LA. It is our modest attempt to help move the somewhat stalled theorization of "entanglement" along a bit. #sts #entanglement #multispecies #environnement #losangeles

It also has an extensive methods section about using Nextdoor because we were, ahem, questioned by the journal about the ethics of the research. #ethics #methods
Which article should I write? "Latour in Action" "The pasteurization of Latour" "We have never been Latour" "Reassembling Latour" "An inquiry into the modes of existence of Latour"

Some of us over in the #fediverse at Social.coop are compiling a guide to running Mastodon democratically: cloud.medlab.host/s/JKfLGa5z… What questions would you want answered?
