OK--the coffee break is over, and it's time for the second Saturday morning #HSS2025 panel. I'm in the Edgewood room for an authors roundtable featuring new books in the global history of science. Looking forward to hearing about John Herschel, Soviet computing & the Buenos Aires Zoo! #histSTM

Our program chairs, @chrheaney.bsky.social & @xtinaramos.bsky.social, remind us that last year HSS celebrated its centennial in Merida. Tonight, we're kicking off our 2nd century by thinking about the public stories we tell about #histSTM when scientific institutions are under threat. #HSS2025

could’ve sent this to the full membership for a vote, but the council outright vetoed it instead. if you’re not interested in your members’ views, i’m not sure why your members should remain part of the organization.
