The collection is an attempt to extend 'cryopolitics' (@JoannaRadin, @profemmakowal) to a more general 'politics of suspension' (Thomas Lemke): how can we understand and politicise the ability to manage life and time through ultra-cold preservation? link.springer.com/article/10…

Happy to see this one out @biosocieties ! With hindsight, it is astonishing to see how people (in Austria) already in 2020 had a nuanced and circumspect perspective on the #COVID19 #pandemic and the requirements for (and perils of) pandemic #governance !
Replying to @IRadhuber
Fantastic teamwork on the article "Citizenship in Times of Crises: Biosocial State-Citizen Relations During COVID-19 in Austria" link.springer.com/article/10… w/@ChristianHddd @Kat_Kieslich @katharinatpaul @BPrainsack SeliemEl-Sayed, @LukasSchlogl, @WandaSpahl, EliasWeiss, @SolPan_Plus

For me it is still worthwhile to revisit some of his work. Many colleagues & companions have remembered Herbert Gottweis. This valediction @BIOSOCIETIES blends the person and the academic, the innovative thinker as well as PI, colleague, mentor link.springer.com/article/10…
