Ericka Johnson (Tema Genus, Linköping University) and I were guests on MKV-podden, Södertörn University’s podcast on media and communication, to talk about synthetic data. The episode, Syntetiska data, is out now (in Swedish, 49 minutes).

In the podcast’s “Vi läser texten” segment we read Geoffrey Bowker’s “Biodiversity datadiversity” (Social Studies of Science, 2000), and Ericka’s music pick was the Velvet Underground.
