🍎 In this episode, Robbie, Nora, and Costa take a closer look at food 🍌
How can we look at food? And how can we look at food through an STS (Science and Technology Studies) lens?
We discuss various aspects of food, including food production, our relations to food, food waste, and many more! What can we learn about societies and humans when looking at our relation to food ❓ Also, we try to discover some recent trends within the topics of food production and consumption 🌟
In order to gain more insights, we explore different angles, theories, and concepts from STS and beyond. We discuss Langdon Winner’s article “Do Artefacts Have Politics?”, a chapter from the STS Handbook, and Sheila Jasanoff’s notion of “co-production”.

In this special feature, Harry and Costa have an interview on scientific practice with professor Ulrike Felt from the Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS) at the University of Vienna. 🎓
Together with Harry and Costa, our guest discusses a variety of questions: What is good science? Where does the responsibility for good and bad science lie? How can we look at science and scientific misconduct through an STS lens? 😎 How can we research scientific practices and the values embedded in them?
👭 In STS we look at science as a collective enterprise.👭 While we often assume that scientists do their very best to expand the knowledge that societies can build upon, this assumption has been challenged and discussed critically by STS scholars since the 1980s.
Recently in Austria, we have been talking a lot about plagiarism, but professor Ulrike Felt nicely points out that there is more to discuss when thinking about science and scientific misconduct.💬
She also explains to us what her own research is about and how she investigates scientific practices. Thanks a lot to Ulrike Felt who shared her thoughts and ideas with us.🎇

“New year, new me” 🎉 strikes again and as we would like to live more mindfully in 2021, we are happy to kick off the first episode of the year with the topic of Sustainability. ♻️
Sustainability… a buzzword of our time! How can we think about it? And how can we define it? In Part 1 Robbie, Harry & Costa scratch the surface of the endless elements of sustainable living. 🍀
Generally speaking, sustainability includes three main aspects - environment 🌍, society 👭, and economy 📈, as the three main pillars are long term environmental practices, a better quality of life for all members of society, and sustainable economic development.
In this episode, we discuss a variety of topics related to sustainability, climate change, and environmentally friendly projects such as the sustainable development goals (SDGs), reducing greenwashing inequality, innovative solutions, frugal innovation. What it’s all about, and who is responsible? The individual or societies as a whole? ❓❗️
We are extremely thankful to Dimitar (Dino) Kirov who shared some of his knowledge on sustainable mobility. 🚗☢️ His comment is a great example of how less we actually know about sustainable solutions and that sustainability often serves as a marketing strategy rather than a way of changing the world. If you are interested in learning more about “full and plug-in hybrids or battery electric vehicles”, check out this essay by Dino Kirov. ⬅️
Sustainability is such a broad and important topic that we barely managed to talk about all the different angles you can look at it from. Therefore, we continue our philosophical debates on sustainability in Part II, where we explore further the concept of slow and fast fashion as well as different STS approaches towards sustainability. ⏯

Sooo, how would you describe 2020 in one word? 🧐 A challenge, a resilience, an Oaschloch? What would you remember this year with? Lockdown, Zoom, home-office?😷
2020 certainly was a very different year one which surprised us with a variety of events, natural disasters, and humanitarian crises. In this episode, the Science Slot Machine Team - Harry, Robbie, and Costa, elaborate on some of the highlights of 2020 such as the Australian wildfires, the COVID-19 outbreak, the Black Lives Matter movement, the US elections. 🏴Despite the tough times, 2020 had a bright side as well and forced us to grow exponentially as individuals and as a society. The “new normal” is not only about wearing a mask but also about accepting the need for a change. 🏳️ Do you think the difficulties we experienced in the last 12 months would make us more optimistic and hopeful in the future? ❤️
Slow and fast disasters, standardization, and the Social Construction of Technology (SCOT) are a few of the STS angles we managed to apply to this topic. 🎓
🎄⭐ The Science Slot Machine wishes you an AMAZING 2021! 🎄⭐➡️ Let us know what would you remember 2020 with, what lessons did you learn? :) ⬅️

Did you prepare Christmas presents for friends and family already? 🎁 Be honest—how many presents did you purchase on Black Friday? In this episode, Harry, Robbie, and Costa discuss the wide topic of consumerism with the coming holidays in mind.
We reflect on e-shopping, monitoring consumer behavior, planned obsolescence, reasserting the activist component back into Science and Technology Studies. 🛒 If you’re worried about being judged on this episode for your online shopping, don’t worry! We’re also very guilty ourselves. 🛍️
Have you heard of the social theory of Consumer Society (Konsumgesellschaft)? Actually, despite the negative association with the word “consumerism”, this social and economic order encourages the competitive environment among manufactures which led to many industrial revolutions and more quality and accessible goods and services for everyone. 🏭
Don't forget to check out Kyoobikel - a local startup and an excellent example of the hybrid systems we discuss in the episode. :)🎄⭐ The Science Slot Machine wishes you very HAPPY HOLIDAYS! 🎄⭐

Vienna, our favorite city! ❤️
A city with a rich history, beautiful architecture, and established traditions in art and science. A place that has always been ahead of its time, and which some of the greatest minds from various fields have called home - Mozart, Beethoven, Freud, Klimt, Schrödinger, and many others. 🧠🏡Austria's capital, as you may know, has been ranked among the top 3 cities to live in worldwide 10 years in a row, which is quite an achievement. Therefore, in this episode, we dig deeper into the concept of what makes Vienna so livable and how such great quality of life is maintained. 🍀
Wait, how could you even measure the livability of a city? 🤔 More about the methodology of such rankings, the strengths, and weaknesses, as well as the usual STS twist on it, you hear in this episode.
Shout out to Cyntha who sent us this topic, Sonia, a fellow STS scholar, and Viktoria Andreeva, an aspiring artist and photographer that you can check out on www.viktoriaandreeva.com or directly on her Insta profile _viktoria.andreeva 📸

Soo, it is uni time again! 🏛️ And with the beginning of the new semester, we get to experience new challenges with e-learning, in terms of technology, organization, and peer communication. 🎓💻
For this episode, we created a short questionnaire as we aimed to explore further the satisfaction among students in various universities and FHs in Vienna regarding digital education practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. And we were quite surprised by the results! 🤯
What do you think, how would e-learning develop in the future, or, as an STS scholar would say - what are the socio-technical imaginaries of e-learning? 😱 What features would be needed in digital communication platforms? 🤖 Share your opinions on our email or social media! 📧
We are curious about how the satisfaction with e-learning would develop throughout the term also beyond the regional borders of Vienna. Maybe we do a follow up on this episode. Fill out our casual survey here: https://forms.gle/kCExrjDK7ka1zziR8

Have you ever wondered when the end of the universe would arrive and how it would look like? 🌌 Have you even thought about how old the universe might be?
Future-making is a big deal in Science and Technology Studies. Therefore, Team Cherry 🍒 and Team Banana 🍌 debate over the possible scenarios that might cause the end of the World as we know it. Considering the popular misconception that the end of the universe and the end of the civilization are synonyms, the two teams aim to provide some insights from the fields of Astrophysics and Cosmology. 💫Hit the ▶️ and get to learn a bit more about the various scientific theories, where do they differ and why do they carry such absurd names - The Big Crunch, The Big Bounce, The Big Chill, The Big Rip.. ☠️ Why is it important to know how the universe is going to end and what impact this has on society as a whole? Can we even do something about it and should the idea of the end of the universe motivate us to live a more meaningful life?
Big shoutout to Thomas Zauner 👨🎓 who agreed to share his knowledge on the topic and helped us give this special STS twist to the conversation.

We like our podcast as we like our coffee – local and thought-provoking. 😎
Have you ever wondered why coffee houses are such a major part of the Viennese traditions? ☕ Café Central, Café Ritter, Café Landtmann are just a few of the most popular names that you might be familiar with. Let’s dive into the Viennese coffee house culture with the Science Slot Machine Podcast and get to learn more about the history of coffee houses in Austria and the vital role such social places play in our lives. 🕵️ Team Cherry 🍒 and Team Banana 🍌 unite forces and will take you on a journey that smells like rich coffee and sounds like classical music.
Meanwhile, you can enjoy a more philosophical discussion on where do we draw the line between “doing” culture and “consuming” culture. Are modern coffee houses a simulacrum of an old tradition, a museum, or are these creating a reality on their own – what would you say? 🌌
Hearing and auditory perception are quite a big part of this episode, so listen carefully! 👂Stay up to date with the upcoming topics in the Science Slot Machine on our social media channels: 🤳🏽

With two new members, Patrick and Costa, the first official battle between Team Cherry 🍒 and Team Banana 🍌 revolves around the topic of (*drums*) Tracking Pigeons in Vienna! 🕊️ Quite a challenge but both teams managed to dig in the most interesting and relevant scientific findings and wrap them up in a great podcast episode!
No doubt the flying rats have a terrible reputation...
Hit the play button ▶️ and learn more about the fascinating nature of pigeons and how the urban areas have shaped the relationship between humans and birds. Why are pigeons so good at navigating spaces? What makes them such an interesting object in various scientific fields? Are pigeons actually cyborgs??? How can we deal with the issue of pigeon poop all over the place and why is it bad to feed pigeons in the first place? 🧐
This, and much more, as well as a sneak-peek to our interviews with experts from the NGO Tierschutzverein and the Tierschutzombudsstelle in Vienna, exclusively on the first episode of the Science Slot Machine. 🧠 We promise you will be a pigeon expert after this!
❗️ Please avoid feeding pigeons on the street – unless it's their naturally required food: grains! – and don’t forget to report cases of sick or injured pigeons on the local wild animal hotline +43 1 4000 49090.
