Very proud to be a part of this beautiful thing! 💎

It's Marion Lougheed's turn with "Vaccinate and eradicate: how the Gates Foundation renders alternative malaria interventions invisible" #Binocular2019

[Greg Rupik has flown to 🦋 @GregoryRupik]

There are so many—often invisible—actors to be grateful for: the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee & the Wendat peoples still live on the traditional lands the @binocular_conf takes place on. We hope we are being good neighbours! 13/14

[Binocular2020 @binocular_conf]

Important #thread on the beginnings and legacy of #Binocular, now wrapping up its 5th edition. We're proud of this unique space where diverse and meaningful discussions around #technoscience can take place thanks to the (in)visible labor of previous organizers 🙌 #Binocular2019👻

[Greg Rupik has flown to 🦋 @GregoryRupik]

A brief history of @binocular_conf: In 2014 Kasey Coholan & I began planning a graduate conference that would bring our 2 Toronto Unis together. Both our programs study science & tech (#STS @yorkuniversity & #HPST @UofT, respectively). Why not join forces, and perspectives? 1/14

[Binocular2020 @binocular_conf]

Next is Candace Massey with "Hunting the Asthma Gene on Tristan da Cunha (1961-1998): Value Translations at the Interstices of Intellectual Property Regimes" #Binocular2019
