Project Placenta

Project Placenta is a feminist technoscience research study exploring emerging placental technologies​ and markets, led by @jacdalziell and @jjkeaney

[Project Placenta @ProjectPlacenta]

Hot off the press! Check out our new article in @TrendsinBiotech on the social and bioethical implications of technological advances in placental modelling. with @mbkearnes, Benjamin Thierry, and @Sciencey_Winter. Free to read and DL until 15 Jan! https://t.co/VUVKQFNuiV

Session 2 was also exciting with talks from @KaraponiG @ricardoataide & @DrEmilyCamm #ANZPRA21 Such a broad range of research being done in ANZ on placenta and pregnancy #FundPlacentaResearch @NICHD_NIH @nhmrc

@ProjectPlacenta @foodanthrop @KiranPienaar @SSNDeakin Inspiring and incisive speakers presenting complex provocations on new and emerging technologies of reproduction. Loved every minute of this event. Feminist technoscience at its best!! 5/5 placental organoids 🧫🧫🧫🧫🧫

[Carina Truyts @foodanthrop]

What an amazing morning- a fascinating theme woven through fantastic presentations, a super keynote and lovely audience. Congratulations @ProjectPlacenta that was just superb (and a great honour!) Anyone curious head over to @SSNDeakin for more tweets

[Project Placenta @ProjectPlacenta]

Thanks also to Aunty Georgina Nicholson, session chairs @foodanthrop, @thao_pow, and @KiranPienaar, and everyone who listened in, asked questions, and helped make this symposium so rich and engaging. @SSNDeakin ✨✨✨

[Project Placenta @ProjectPlacenta]

That's a wrap on Remodelling the Human: Reproductive Models and Feminist Technoscience! ✨ It has been a wonderful, generative, and thought-provoking day.

[Project Placenta @ProjectPlacenta]

Thank you to all of our wonderful speakers @clairemlhorn, @MiannaLotz, @reprotechethics, @jacdalziell, @JJKeaney, @CeliaMRoberts, @anthro919 for sharing your exciting and important work in #feministSTS and #reprotech.

'New forms of calculation'. People learn specific parts of science (e.g. air quality measures) and incorporate them into everyday practices: From @CeliaMRoberts new research into pregnancy and reproduction during the bushfires

[Project Placenta @ProjectPlacenta]

Fabulous session to end Remodelling the Human: Reproductive Models and Feminist Technoscience! Keynote @CeliaMRoberts, response by @anthro919, and steered by the amazing @KiranPienaar

[Deakin Science and Society Network @SSNDeakin]

@CeliaMRoberts: Biomedicine & technoscience & their models are crucial for making Human & reproduction. However, we must remember the 'mundane acts' that 'cut' the edges of reproduction (including, for example google algorithms and advertising and markets). #placentaproject

[Project Placenta @ProjectPlacenta]

Natali Valdez @anthro919: surveillance capitalism and biocapitalism shape scientific and domestic practices of reproduction and data collection. 'Science and technology might not save all of us: but what can we do with the tech that we have?' #feministSTS #reprotech

[Deakin Science and Society Network @SSNDeakin]

@anthro919 Natali Valdez highlights role of capitalism across scientific knowledge production, and esp racial capitalism. 'Free' apps require volunteering of extremely valuable bio-information - surveillance capitalism writ large.

[Project Placenta @ProjectPlacenta]

Discussant @anthro919, @Wellesley, response to @CeliaMRoberts keynote now! Highlighting key questions around what counts as cutting edge reproductive tech? What is seen and/or excluded as mundane? #reprotech #FeministSTS

[Project Placenta @ProjectPlacenta]

Social science and #feministtechnoscience have a crucial role to play in recognising and keeping present practices of domestic science and home-research

[Project Placenta @ProjectPlacenta]

@CeliaMRoberts Two important ways that reproduction is being remodelled: 1) deliberate cuts into new forms (including activist remodelling) and 2) fitting into pre-existing models (including fertility tracking and other biosensing tech). #feministSTS #reprotech

[Deakin Science and Society Network @SSNDeakin]

@CeliaMRoberts reads from the beautiful symposium abstract #projectplacenta In deepening our knowledge about how human beings re"produce, scientific models reconstitute reproduction as a cultural form and a lived experience... (1/2)

[Project Placenta @ProjectPlacenta]

Prof. @CeliaMRoberts @ANU_SOCY keynote starting now! 'Domestic science and home-based research: Cutting the edges of reproduction'
