@jodenbaugh @LSarafraz I don't know if this apt, but Melanie Bowman discusses the commodification of scientific knowledge in the context of a controversy between UMN and the Anishinaabe people. It is quite good. DM @BaxterJanella if you'd like a copy.

@QuillRKukla A reality of nearly all BEC announcements sent to our members!

[Anna Alexandrova @ExpertiseUnder]

Evelyn Fox Keller’s memoir just came out! A pioneer and a force for the good she is.

[Nathaniel Comfort @nccomfort]

70 years ago, 3 papers appeared in @Nature under the title ‘Molecular structure of nucleic acids’. In an article appearing today (link at end) @matthewcobb and I shed new light on ‘what Watson and Crick really took from Rosalind Franklin’. This thread summarizes our findings.1/23

[Robin Scheffler is also @biohistorian.bsky.social @CancerHistorian]

Virtually Speaking about my current book project and its implications for how we understand what biotechnology is @BioEngColl this Tuesday at 11am est—details below! #genetown

[Katie Kendig @KatieKendig]

Wonderful cross-disciplinary opportunity for someone with a Masters in Philosophy, Philosophy of Science, Environmental Humanities, Hydrology, Environmental Modelling or cognate discipline! Contact: Dr Arnald Puy [[email protected]] . Closing date is: 30 May 2023.

[Dr. Krystal Tsosie, PhD, MPH @kstsosie]

Apply! @ASU is hiring 3 Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows to expand Indigenous Knowledge research in life, environmental, social, Earth science https://t.co/RqTLdugJmG

I loved being a Fellow with 70+ Indigenous faculty at an R1 institution with the highest % Indigenous students!

[Yoshinari Yoshida @YoshinariYsd]

New publication! This paper discusses how a biological phenomenon that is produced by diverse mechanisms can be studied by using multiple model systems. It examines research on collective cell migration as an example. The full article is available here:
