#EAHMH25 was a fab conference with an incredible array of fascinating papers, topics & scholars. Finally met some of my @eurohealthhist.bsky.social @costprogramme.bsky.social colleagues in person. Event better to team up with my other #COST gang @thegreatleap22116.bsky.social #Berlin #Research

Super evening with our @costprogramme.bsky.social @thegreatleap22116.bsky.social colleagues. Stories were told, legends were made and plans were mapped. This is what #COST is about - optimising opportunties for collaboration - this time in stereo! #Synergy #COST22159 #EAHMH25 #COST22116 #Research

This is the year for important edited collections in the history of health and medicine. In my humble opinion, every historian in our field should have these two books.

So deeply honoured to be among those participating in this symposium in honour of a truly remarkable man, a brilliant scholar, trusted mentor, and dear friend. Green Carnations: Remembering Éibhear Walshe Wednesday 10 September University College Cork www.eventbrite.ie/e/green-carn...

Steve Shirley escaped the Holocaust as a child & went on to found one of the earliest software startups. The really impressive part? She employed women programmers who had been pushed out of the workforce after having kids, & allowed them flexible, family friendly, work from home jobs—in the 1960s!

What are the odds sitting in Kew, miles of shelving and gazillions of records, the item I want is in use … right now!

Sharing this again because too many in higher ed think the appropriate analgesic for this pain is AI.

Canvas just became one of the most powerful surveillance, IP theft, & data monetization tools in the world. OpenAI bought a user-base locked in to long-term contracts. But they can’t make us use their trashware. Boycott. Luddify. Open source. Don’t let them have your work or your students.

Friendly reminder that Instructure, parent company of Canvas, is owned by KKR, a private equity firm that purchased it for $4.8 billion last November.

So the @researchireland.ie Global Talent Scheme is now open for "exceptional mid-career and established researchers," currently employed outside Ireland, who want to move their research here. All disciplines (I think). Individual awards up to €3.25m (!) www.researchireland.ie/funding/glob...

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

Every time someone articulates the position "Culture costs too much. Why do we have to pay for that?" you can now cite the recent study that for every 1 euro invested in Berlin museums, it pays 1.75 euros into the city's economy. Culture *is* the economy smdh! www.rbb24.de/kultur/beitr...
