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

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
Though-provoking, challenging, and super rich session 1 @clairemlhorn and @MiannaLotz ! An equally provoking question time expertly chaired by @foodanthrop
That's a wrap on Remodelling the Human: Reproductive Models and Feminist Technoscience! ✨ It has been a wonderful, generative, and thought-provoking day.
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.
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 ✨✨✨
Fabulous session to end Remodelling the Human: Reproductive Models and Feminist Technoscience! Keynote @CeliaMRoberts, response by @anthro919, and steered by the amazing @KiranPienaar
'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

@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
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

@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.

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

@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)
Prof. @CeliaMRoberts @ANU_SOCY keynote starting now! 'Domestic science and home-based research: Cutting the edges of reproduction'
Another great session with @reprotechethics @JJKeaney @jacdalziell asking important questions about the material and ethical implications of MRT and organoid tech! #reprotech! @thao_pow star chair.
@reprotechethics responding to the great question around MRT and gender norms around reproduction: the MRT debate has focused around the potential for '3 parent babies', which while challenged, also has implications for 3rd party reproduction
@JJKeaney @jacdalziell addressing extended temporalities of new organoid tech and how new placenta tech relate and depart from current practices around placentas
