Many thanks for all the contributions over the last years: the EASST Review is really made by our STS community and every time I have been positively surprised by the variety of perspectives brought together in our issues. Also in this edition you will find engagend and critical contributions, continuing our reflections on Research Cultures; paying tribute to Evelyn-Fox Keller; presenting groups in Exeter and Helsinki; and discussing workshops that took place in the past year.

EASST-4S 2024 Amsterdam Conference

The Call for Abstracts for the EASST-4S 2024 conference in Amsterdam closed on February 12. The conference received an unprecedented amount of abstracts, presenting the organisers with an enormous logistical challenge and delaying the results of the Call.

Since the submissions closed, the organizing committee has been working diligently to try to accommodate as many participants as logistical constraints allow. This requires involving the central university levels to ensure the conference will be a successful event given these large numbers.

Are you considering attending the conference? Book your stay as soon as possible. We have arranged some exclusive discounted hotel rates for EASST-4S conference visitors. Booking via this link is optional, so feel free to also have a look on other platforms.

For more information, visit the conference website.
