I will laugh (I mean, cry) when they leverage the Oxman/Epstein connection to try to get the President of mit fired. That’s where this is going to go.

Next in our joint publication, the new Isis considers what a labor history of science can & should be. @historyofscience.bsky.social, @sethrockman.bsky.social, & I co-wrote the introduction but the main authors are the real stars. So proud of this. #histsci
