Please call your senators. This APHA statement is urgent. “RFK Jr. must be removed from his position. Since taking office, his actions have sown confusion, demoralized staff and jeopardized the very foundation of our nation’s health security. Most critically, these missteps threaten lives”

I've lived through two epidemics (HIV in the US in the 80s/90s and in South Africa in the 2000s) and through COVID with the rest of us. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing has been as terrible as what is happening now. 8/

Damn! I'm copying this whole 🧵 of replies for my #histmed teaching files. Everybody's right: this WAS a great achievement in human ingenuity & cooperation. It should be celebrated, commemorated, & memorialized at every opportunity. #COVIDvax

My thoughts on the power of queer history in these times…

#MedievalSky #skystorians #GlobalMiddleAges #histmed #histSTM This #OpenAccess teaching module will be available in a few weeks. An outline of its ambitions in this blogpost: "Turning Biology into History: A New Resource for Teaching the Black Death." 🧪🗃️

“Every time you go to your doctor or get treated by a nurse, there’s a chorus of researchers, public health workers, policy experts, epidemiologists and advisory panels arrayed behind them, aided by laboratories, databases, websites… Our current government seems determined to wrench this away”

While I would prefer that my historical research have less relevance, please read and consider what it was like to fall ill and die before germ theory. #histmed 🗃️ nursingclio.org/2025/07/21/d...

Nursing Clio is seeking three new staff members: one Book Reviews Editor and two new Editors! We are a volunteer-run, open access, collaborative blog project that ties historical scholarship to current political, social, and cultural issues related to gender and medicine. Please share widely!

While I would prefer that my historical research have less relevance, please read and consider what it was like to fall ill and die before germ theory. #histmed 🗃️ nursingclio.org/2025/07/21/d...

I wrote about how Brian Hooker thinks getting infected with a virus that permanently disables or kills kids & exposing others to it without their knowledge or consent is superior to preventing infection altogether with a safe & effective vaccine. Short thread 👇 open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

A fabulous resource! Chosen at random, among cases that used electricity as a treatment (among many others), is this 1778 case of James Thomson, who had impaired vision www.rcpe.ac.uk/peoplesdispe..., and Betty Smart in 1783 with 'hysteria' www.rcpe.ac.uk/peoplesdispe... #histSTM #histmed

Today on @nursingclio.bsky.social, I share an account of falling ill and dying before germ theory and modern medicine. This #histmed is a peek into my current project, and an experience that I want everything thinking about health to know. nursingclio.org/2025/07/21/d...

This story illustrates in clear and painful detail how treating women as our safety net not only sets them up to fail but also to blame themselves when they do.

Did you know @ransomcenter.bsky.social is home to the photographic morgue of the NY Journal-American? During July, I'm going to showcase a few of the ~2 million photos & 1 million negatives in this collection. More on the NYJA: norman.hrc.utexas.edu/nyjadc/index... #31DaysOfNYJA #photography 🗃️📜📷

Read this, bookmark it, download it (& print it, too, if you want to go all out). But make sure you & yours know that medical history ( #histmed) has a solid response to the nonsense our HHS secretary is spouting. nursingclio.org/2025/06/30/m... 🧪🗃️ And follow @nursingclio.bsky.social. #MiasmaTheory

In case you'd like to know what miasma theory is (to understand, for example, how it might change public health policy), I published a brief primer with @nursingclio.bsky.social And there is more to come, so stay tuned! #histmed nursingclio.org/2025/06/30/m...

Is anyone working on the history of homeopathy? Or do you know scholars who have written about homeopathy recently? I could use some help... #histmed 🗃️

So much has happened this week, including an odd request—could I explain miasma theory for an NPR story? I’m glad so many #histmed and physicians were able to answer—while history is rarely a progress tale, some leaps in knowledge are real and valuable for humanity. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
