In such great company!

Super exciting to see Do Less Harm in the wild! #HSS2025

Hello again from Napoleon C, where a large crowd has gathered for the #HSS2025 distinguished lecture! Our speaker is Conevery Valencius, whose research draws connections b/w #histSTM, #EarthScience & #envhist. Her talk tonight is entitled "Boom: What History of Science Needs to know About Shale."

OK--the coffee break is over, and it's time for the second Saturday morning #HSS2025 panel. I'm in the Edgewood room for an authors roundtable featuring new books in the global history of science. Looking forward to hearing about John Herschel, Soviet computing & the Buenos Aires Zoo! #histSTM

Our program chairs, @chrheaney.bsky.social & @xtinaramos.bsky.social, remind us that last year HSS celebrated its centennial in Merida. Tonight, we're kicking off our 2nd century by thinking about the public stories we tell about #histSTM when scientific institutions are under threat. #HSS2025

Congrats to @eobrien.bsky.social!

Very proud to be part of these two great collections with so many great colleagues. Do what @cethompson.bsky.social says. Spice up your class.

I have a book cover!! So grateful to the brilliant cover art designers who reworked the original Kennedy briefing map for me. Coming October 2025! 🗃️

Sooo excited for this! Thanks @amandajsummers.bsky.social!

As Biden is swept into the dustbin, Charlotte E. Rosen wonders: what was the Resistance “Twitterstorian”? Well-paid liberal “attack dogs” of democracy like Heather Cox Richardson proved to be all too willing to turn to Democratic Party apologia—especially on Gaza. proteanmag.com/2025/01/20/t...

Vetoing is the last resort of those who have lost the argument already

I truly do not know what learned societies are for any more.

I LOVE this cover - and the fact that I’ve been able to collaborate with such an amazing scholarly collective!

Stunning cowardice by the AHA Council. For shame. "The Council considers the Resolution to Oppose Scholasticide in Gaza ... to contravene the Association’s Constitution and Bylaws because it lies outside the scope of the Association’s mission and purpose." 🗃️ www.historians.org/news/busines...

could’ve sent this to the full membership for a vote, but the council outright vetoed it instead. if you’re not interested in your members’ views, i’m not sure why your members should remain part of the organization.

Congratulations to the membership of the American Historical Association for finding the voice, moral clarity, professional integrity to vote YES on the Resolution Against Scholasticide in Gaza! The work is just beginning. There will be more votes, chances to stand up. Take every opportunity. #AHA25

Our books are out! You can get them at a discount at @uncpress.bsky.social booth at the #AHA25 🗃️

New book on how human institutions have both exacerbated and try to control epidemics. I haven't seen it yet. But seems like it's one to keep an eye out for when it's released in a couple of months: press.princeton.edu/books/hardco... #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #EpiSky

My very first article has been published in the American Historical Review! ✨ In it I've transcribed a handful of petitions that help us to understand how people began to piece their lives back together following an outbreak of plague 👇 academic.oup.com/ahr/article-...

My latest acquisition. Chapter 6 deals with black mariners as transatlantic healers.

Lovely to see my book reviwed alongside the great @djmontano.bsky.social and Elizabeth O’Brien! www.cambridge.org/core/service...
