Off to the @britishlibrary with the @LBObjects team to see the Digital Storytelling exhibition. All part of our work with @BhopalMedAppeal to keep telling the stories of those still affected after nearly 40 years by the disaster. A marathon of neglect and suffering.

#ResearchCultureUncovered: @clarefbarker and @AmeliaDeFalco are reshaping research practices in their @wellcometrust funded @LBObjects project. Non-hierarchical leadership and a focus on health and wellbeing are culture changing ways of conducting research https://t.co/MKlkCVq4Pn

I'm going to be working with colleagues at Lancaster University over the next year, showing how science fiction can help us imagine reproductive futures #sciencefiction #medicalhumanities #pregnancy #ectogenesis @wellcometrust

My latest book, Curious Kin in Fictions of Posthuman Care, will be published soon. It's about more-than-human care in recent recent literature, film, and television. I've been working on it for quite a few years and its nice to have it out in the world.

Medical Humanities & Disability Studies: In/Disciplines is published later this month. No book I've written was as challenging or took as much out of me, but I'm very proud of how it turned out. You can read a preview here: https://t.co/qLS3TwZO6R
