How do I even explain to my friends who aren’t in STS how exciting it is to see some of these names confirmed for 4S?! 😭 Plus, I’ll get to see some old friends again! 😍 #4SToronto26

In "Mosquito Work," Ann H. Kelly and Javier Lezaun follow entomologists, technicians, community volunteers, and mosquitoes to illuminate the collaborations, improvisations, and political entanglements behind contemporary disease control. Read the introduction for free now: buff.ly/JusZnQy

Organizing my trip to 4S 2026, I found these photos from the 2022 meeting that changed my career! With current 4S president Prof. Wen-Hua Kuo, prof. Noela Invernizzi, the wonderful prof. @nicolecnelson.bsky.social, my dear friend Amanda, and so many other dear people. Such a special experience!

Came across a sign that reads “Movidos por Tecnologia” (Driven by Technology in Portuguese). As someone in STS, I’m driven by technology… I guess?
