You are truly amazing Strava! How is it possible that you promise a recap but but force people to watch it on a phone? Mobile first does not mean that you should totally neglect your website

We'll be celebrating (and critically reflecting on) 100 years of Anthropology at the University of Sydney, 9 October 2025. A great program! From Radcliffe-Brown ('Anarchy Brown') to ... who knows? An Indigenous professor of anthropology, maybe.

Thrilled to share new work by brilliant Catherine Lee & Brandon Kramer! They analyzed 2M biomedical abstracts over 30 years and found fascinating shifts in how we talk about diversity in research - diversity terminology is rising while race/ethnicity terms plateau. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2401805122

The coolest postdoc I know is now accepting applications: 🧪🔬THE WITTIG POSTDOC IN FEMINIST BIOLOGY🧪🔬 Our interdisciplinary program @ UW Madison seeks to train the next generation of feminist scientists/scholars of science Please share widely and read more here: crgw.gws.wisc.edu/scholarships...

Purple and white flyer that contains the the following information:

One of the only opportunities of its kind, the Wittig Postdoctoral Fellows Program in Feminist Science offers a fellowship at the intersection of biological/biomedical sciences and feminist science studies. We aim to train the next generation of feminist scientists/feminist science scholars and cultivate an interdisciplinary community of thinkers, practitioners, and advocates. UW Madison has a distinguished history of excellence in these areas and continues to be a dynamic site of research and teaching in feminist science scholarship.

Applicants with a new or recent PhD are invited to apply for this two year, fully funded position. We welcome scholars working at the intersection of feminist scholarship and the sciences, including the life sciences, public health, history of science, science and technology studies, or medicine. Fellows will conduct original research mentored by a UW faculty member.

This research can be feminist topics within existing research programs in the life sciences (e.g., studies of sex and the variability of sex), implementing feminist methodologies in life science research, or historical, philosophical, artistic, and feminist engagements in life science research. Successful applicants will be paired with a mentor among the UW faculty who has agreed to provide guidance during the fellowship period. For a range of examples of stellar candidates, we’ve included some sample profiles below. The postdoc will also take primary responsibility for planning and executing a feminist science one-day conference.

The Wittig postdoc is administered through the Center for Research on Gender & Women (CRGW). For further information, contact the Director of the Center for Research on Gender and Women (CRGW), Christine Garlough, clgarlough@wisc.edu.

When vaccines blunted their impact, we forgot the fear of the disease, and in our comfort, people began to forget why we needed the vaccines in the first place.
