Very pleased to appear in this volume alongside so many STS luminaries! Sarah de Rijcke and I have a chapter on performance indicators in academia.
Finally, some years of work and engagement have materialised in this encyclopedia of #STS. Many thanks to the + 90 authors who contributed! And what a pleasure it has been to go on that adventure with Alan Irwin - thanks for being such a great colleague, conspirator and friend!
