I was recently on the @VisualisingWar podcast, where we talked about all things related to war & time, from WW1 to drone wars. Thank you, Alice, for such a thought-provoking discussion, especially in light of news about today's 'droneophobia'. https://t.co/Cg70UqMit9

As technology transforms the war in Ukraine, soldiers are experiencing a new form of trauma: "Droneophobia".
We have a new podcast out this week! Tune in here to listen to a fascinating discussion with Beryl Pong on experiences of warTIME and chronophobia, and on the impact of drone technologies on our habits of visualising war and peace: https://t.co/7RciZuuK68
