NASA aerospace engineer Alinda Mashiku was born in New York then moved to Tanzania as a young girl, where she dreamed of becoming an astronaut – but reaching for the stars seemed almost an impossibility. Today, as a Program Manager with the US space agency, she helps ensure that satellites avoid collisions in orbit, contributing to the safety and sustainability of pioneering space missions such as the record-breaking Artemis II mission around the moon earlier this month.According to UN data, women make up only 35 per cent of science, tech, engineering and maths graduates (STEM) – figure that has not changed in the past decade.In an interview with UN News's Anold Kayanda from our Swahili team, Ms. Mashiku explains why girls should place no limits on their ambitions to break the STEM glass ceiling, into the stratosphere.

The full post by Alena Thiel can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2026/04/techno-ethics-and-feminist-ai-what-role-for-an-african-studies-approach-to-science-and-technology/. About the post: As Francis Nyamnjoh reminds us, both “[b]odies and forms are never complete; they are open-ended malleable vessels to be appropriated by consciousness in its multiplicity. Bodies provide for hearts and minds to intermingle, accommodating the dreams and hopes of both, and mitigating the propensity of the one to outrace the other” (Nyamnjoh, 2017, p. 257). This Platypus blog series explores how incompleteness provides an ethical stance by foregrounding interlinkages, connections and relations over the totalizing vision of African AI developments.

Send us Fan MailSasmit Pokharel was sworn in as Minister of Education, Science and Technology and Minister of Youth and Sport in the Nepal Government on 26 March. When I interviewed him five years ago he was co-leader of a group of young people dedicated to fighting Nepal's "rape culture". I never imagined that in a handful of years he would be a senior government leader, which was a lack of imagination on my part, salted I think with a layer of ageism.I'm re-posting this episode so you can hear future leader Sasmit, and his fellow guest Sagoon Bhetwal, speak passionately and articulately (despite issues of sound quality, back in the early days of the podcast) about rape in Nepal. Sasmit especially also talks at length about the role of youth in developing democracy in the country and points a finger at current leaders (5 years ago) for ignoring their needs.Listening to this conversation I hear how determined and strategic these two activists are. No doubt those qualities would be very useful in Sasmit's new job. Support the showShow your love by sending this episode to someone who you think might be interested or by sharing it on social media:LinkedInInstagramBlueSkyFacebookMusic by audionautix.com.Nepal Now is produced and hosted by Marty Logan.

Within a few short years, drones went from being a niche capability reserved for technically advanced militaries to something ubiquitous on the modern battlefield.  According to the Atlantic Council, Ukraine was producing 200,000 first person view drones per month by early 2025.  The Ukrainians used those drones to inflict up to 80% of Russian battlefield casualties.  That conflict continues and so does its use of drones.  Meanwhile, Hamas used drones to as part of the October 7th attacks.  The Houthis have used drones to attack US Navy ships in the Red Sea and drones are being extensively used by Iran in the ongoing conflict.  Drones are a rapidly changing and rapidly proliferating capability.  In this book, engineer and historian Lars Celander gives an overview of how drones are designed and used – How they fight.

This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Michelle Venetucci and Shoko Yamada can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2026/03/series-theorizing-stuckness-in-science-and-technology/. About the post: What might we learn by studying science and technology through the lens of stuckness? Scientific and technological practice has long been associated with notions of progress as a linear development, linked to key moments in history and developments that have led to our present moment. In this new series on Platypus, scholars who work directly with scientists and technological experts instead foreground moments of thwarted expectations and material constraints, highlighting that experts themselves do not necessarily experience their work as congruent with these notions of progress. By attending to moments when experts face obstacles to their work and feel stuck, the essays in this series draw out how people construct meaning out of these moments of becoming stuck, which then follows them into future decision-making.

ElevenLabs can generate lifelike voices from a short sample, including a clone of Al Jazeera anchor Neave Barker. CEO and cofounder Mati Staniszewski tells Talk to Al Jazeera how voice AI could transform dubbing, education and accessibility, helping people who have lost speech. But the technology can be abused: for fraud, disinformation and psychological operations. From safety measures and detection to partnerships with governments, including Ukraine's push towards an “agentic state”, the interview asks the core question: when your voice becomes software, who controls it, and what rights are left?

Rebecca Shoot, immediate past Executive Director of Citizens for Global Solutions, is an international lawyer and democracy and governance practitioner with extensive experience supporting human rights, democratic processes, and the rule of law on five continents.  She is a Co-Convener, Washington Working Group for the International Criminal Court. She is the Co-Convener, ImPact Coalition on Strengthening International Judicial Institutions. The UN 80th celebration operates in close coordination with the Pact for the Future. The  pact offers how to set out a broad agenda to strengthen multilateral cooperation on sustainable development, international peace and security, science and technology, digital cooperation, youth empowerment and global institutional reform.  The United Nations  has to be understood as a political and normative process, not just reformative or managerial.  To be more relevant, the UN must move from consultation to co-creation with a multistake feedback loop, reform the veto authority and possibly select a female secretary-general.

The U.S.-China Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement (STA), the first bilateral agreement signed shortly after the United States and China established diplomatic relations in 1979, has been renewed multiple times. Scientists from the two countries have collaborated on cancer prevention, malaria treatment, vaccines, and more; the results of their efforts have benefited the people of both countries and the world. In August 2024, the STA expired, but on December 13, 2024, the two countries signed a protocol amending the STA and extending it for another five years, suggesting that rumors of the death of collaboration were premature. However, the actual agreement wasn't published for four months, in April 2025.  In an interview conducted on August 5, 2025, Scott Kennedy, Deborah Seligsohn, and Denis Simon speak with Abigail Coplin about the renewal of the STA, the future of U.S.-China scientific cooperation, and implications for overall U.S.-China relations.  About this program

Israel's renewed offensive in Gaza City - the largest Palestinian population centre - is being framed as an assault on Hamas's “final stronghold”. But behind that narrative lies a campaign of expulsion and erasure that bears all the hallmarks of an endgame. Contributors:  Dana Mills - Writer, Local Call & +972 Magazine Muhammad Shehada - Journalist Saree Makdisi - Professor of English & Comparative Literature, UCLA Tahani Mustafa - Visiting fellow, ECFR On our radar: A new AI-generated website unveiled by an Israeli minister claims to “uncover the hidden ties” between Palestinian journalists and Hamas. And despite its amateurish feel, it follows a pattern of dangerous smears against Palestinians. Post's Tariq Nafi reports. The sci-fi obsessions of the tech elite Silicon Valley's tech titans often say they are shaping a better tomorrow. This is a clique of men - names like Musk, Zuckerberg, Thiel and Altman - who all say they've been heavily influenced by science fiction. But those imagined sci-fi futures often come with a dystopian side, warnings that tech billionaires have seemingly failed to understand.

    About this episode:  GPS, drones, laser-guidance—all modern marvels that have served mankind in both peace and war. Nothing new, for there were creations and adaptations for a conflict contested in the 1860s; enough so that that confrontation has been called, by many, the first “modern war.”  This is the story of enterprising inventors and engineers and their ideas and machines—their taking theory and making it practical.  The ongoing marriage between innovation and war, this is the story of Science and Technology in the American Civil War.   ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Joseph Bailey Henry Pleasants Richard Gatling Samuel Morse Horace Lawson Hunley   For Further Reading: Trial by Fire: Science, Technology and the Civil War by Charles D.
