A few weeks ago I was reminded of the Atomik spirit which was distilled from fruit found within the exclusion zone at Chernobyl. I have long had a fascination with this place, and had almost got to the point of organising a visit several times - it seems unlikely to ever happen now. There was a bottle and a wooden box in which it can be delivered and I now have a bottle to sip on special occasions, and savour the radioactive fruit.

In 2023, we witnessed a tragic surge in migrant deaths along migratory routes worldwide, marking it as one of the deadliest years on record according to the statistics from the Missing Migrant Project , with an estimated more than 8,000 cases.

The Wicked Leeks newsletter is well worth subscribing to. A recent issue explored the Fake farms which are used by some supermarkets to market fruit and vegetables. Nick Eason talked about the problems with this sort of marketing.

How have you encountered AI today? Perhaps you listened to music recommended by an AI algorithm, used a navigational app to check AI-predicted traffic conditions, auto-captioned videos with AI-powered voice recognition, or checked email without even noticing the AI-filtered spam messages. AI is shaping our everyday lives, but as anthropology teaching faculty, most of our recent AI-related conversations have had a singular focus: how to deal with generative AI tools like ChatGPT in the classroom.

It sounds like the start of a joke—except, instead of a punchline, the result is a year’s worth of insights and the story of how we created a whole new industry research program to get them. At this point you might be thinking, what are social scientists even doing at a bank?
