New by me @uk.theconversation.com, written for a public audience amidst rising cases & harmful myths. Based on my @nihrarcs.bsky.social supported #PublicHealth action research @bsmspcph.bsky.social @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social (collab @sussex.ac.uk @uniofbrighton.bsky.social @uhsussex.bsky.social).

New @sussex.ac.uk film on my @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social @sussexsrp.bsky.social work with indigenous peoples providing health services & protecting rainforest (inc. beautiful photos by @drjastockdale.bsky.social). Buy meds for the conservation clinic: wildhealth.org.uk/wanang youtu.be/qWlO9lR0oHo

Folk have been making overblown medical claims for cold water for a long-time. Turns out one of the first proposals for a controlled trial (on #scabies fwiw) was a C19th Irish Dr trolling a cold-water proponent.

Last day today of the Lewes exhibition showing of SURFACES. Learn how opening a clinic for forest peoples improved community health & enabling #conservation of 150 km² of biodiverse #rainforest (storing 1.5M tonnes of carbon). Photos @drjastockdale.bsky.social, story @drjmiddleton.bsky.social.

Exhibition tour begins on how we (@sussexsrp.bsky.social @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social + friends) opened a clinic for forest peoples, improving community health & enabling #conservation of 150 km² of biodiverse #rainforest (storing 1.5M tonnes of carbon). Photos @drjastockdale.bsky.social, story by me.

Given discussions at I had at #ESCMIDGlobal, it might be useful for new researchers to know how a journal editor screens submissions (obviously this is my approach and so it might differ for others).

My upstairs neighbours are absolutely feral for having a party at 1pm on a Friday afternoon

Having a romantic weekend

Caught Covid for the second time this year from my nephew, so as a treat I thought I’d relax and read about petty departmental politics in academia.

Bit behind this term after having COVID, but I’m throughly enjoying teaching #PhilosophyofMedicine. Looking at accounts of disease, #health and #wellbeing, along with epistemological questions in #EvidencebasedMedicine #PhilSky #PhilSci #HistMed

Laid up in bed with Covid for the last few days and finally decided to give up on the idea of work to reread the Crying of Lot 49. It’s been so long that I’d forgotten I bought this book when I was 14 when I used to write out the definitions of words in the margin. 😭

Rainy walk through Friston forest this NYE which ended with a nice glass of red by the fire. Happy 2024 everyone 🎉✨

A reminder that I have compiled this list of *online* and *open access* collections of radical, left-wing, labour and anti-colonial historical documents. There are over 500 collections from around the world now listed.

Hope everyone had a lovely Xmas 🎅 🎄

Perused the Tate Britain awhile ago and was excited to discover that they’d put up #Godwin and #Wollstoncraft’s portraits in a room on radicalism and revolt. #PhilSky #HistSky #Anarchism #AnarchistThought #FeministThought

TOMORROW @ 9:30am in Bramber House Conf Centre, University of Sussex | Hear Jo Middleton talk about our integrated health and conservation work in #PapuaNewGuinea featuring documentary photographic work from yours truely! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ssrp-sympo...

📢 Calling all philosophers! 📢 I have created some new Bluesky feeds, including a broadly-based feed for academic philosophy. This includes the #philsky hashtag plus #philosophy, #epistemology, #metaphysics, #moralphil and other major subfields using the #phil<…> format. bsky.app/profile/keit...

Still haven’t quite learned how to stop myself in the last session of any course I teach from blurting out “good luck with the future”. Students must think I’m a terribly sentimental sop.

Sad to hear of David Gautier’s passing. One of the highlights of my PhD was reading Morals by Agreement; an elegant argument, although one I have deep disagreement with. dailynous.com/2023/11/13/d...

Currently reading this great article from a colleague on the perspectives of #healthcare staff working in #refugeecamps. An interesting read for those in #PhilSky working on #PublicHealth #RefugeeStudies, or interested in #qualitative methods Read #OpenAccess here: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/13/1...

Once again asking the #PhilSky hive mind: roughly how long does it take you to mark a 1,500 word essay and how much feedback do you give?

Just wanted to add that this work has also led to the provision community #PrimaryCare services 👩🏻‍⚕️ and conserved 150 square km of threatened #Rainforest 🌱 Looking forward to posting more #PhilSci work on #PapuaNewGuinea, #Medicine and #Conservation in the future. #EnvHums #MedHums #PhilSky

Great looking #envhist PhD position in UK: Animals and the Atlantic Slave Trade: The role of animals in the commercial, diplomatic, and maritime networks connecting Britain, West Africa, and the Americas, 1660-1752 www.strath.ac.uk/studywithus/...

How long should a covering letter be when applying to an entry level lecturer position (with research and teaching responsibilities)? I’ve written about 1,500 words and I’m beginning to think that’s too long.

Delighted to provide #philosophical insight to this #Interdisciplinary study investigating #CommunityHealthNeeds in #PapuaNewGuinea for community-led planning of #HealthServices that supports ongoing #Indigenous forest #Conservation.

Love this time of year when the air feels crisp and the fungi burst out of the ground with the ferns. Feels like it’s getting later and later though.

This can’t be true.

Love this idea, I am: (1) finishing work looking at the utility and value of #PhilSci to #BiodiversityConservation and its links to healthcare. (2) and, as a little treat, occasionally thinking about the expression of #Libertarian ideals in mid 20c #Photography. #PhilSky #EnvironmentalHumanities

I’ve updated my website a little since I’m new to BlueSky. No doubt I’ll be posting about my work here, but in the meantime more info at: www.jessicastockdale.com #PhilSky #PhilSci #Conservation #Bioethics #PlanetaryHealth #PhilSciSky #MedicalEthics #HealthData #DataEthics #BigData #AIEthics

Hey everyone, I’m a #philosopher based at Univ of Sussex and Brighton & Sussex Medical School in the #UK. My research focuses on #Medicine, #Conservation and #IndigenousKnowledge across philosophy of science, epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy. #introduction #AcademicSky #PhDSky #PhilSci
