@sarahbaccianti.bsky.social and I may be in the throes of indexing one whopper of an edited volume today, but just *look* at this gorgeous list of manuscripts 😍 Exciting things coming soon for fans of medieval medicine! 📖📜🎉 www.brepols.net/products/IS-...

"Regardless of style and tactics, everyone in the American scientific community must hold to the principles of independence, peer evaluation, and inclusion." This is an excellent summary for humanists to read, too, of the dire situation for science right now.

An excellent event at the Seamus Heaney Homeplace, with a focus on the bog-preserved remains found in Bellaghy in 2023. Now revealed to be an Iron Age young woman, it’s been fascinating to hear about the research by a range of experts, coordinated by my colleague, Niamh Baker.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Ballymacombs More Woman at #NationalMuseumsNI Brilliant research by experts in RoI,UK & EU coordinated by archaeology curator #NiamhBaker. Important remarks by @hannahcrowdy.bsky.social about our ethical & respectful approach on research & exhibit of ancient human remains www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is the nub of the article that I disagree with. Sticking to the evidence *requires* picking a side on many issues that should never have been politics but now are: climate change, vaccines, public health... Staying neutral denies the science and that can't be scientific or right.
