Yet another nice review of our book!

Another nice review of Spectacles of Waste, this time in Isis, up front. 'Pungent, playful, and consistently thought-provoking.' Thanks Paul Kreitman! @isisjournal.bsky.social #histsci #histmed #histstm #STS

Also in Isis, link provided above @historyscience.bsky.social @aahmhistmed.bsky.social 'learning about social medicine will give your students a robust lens through which to relate to the world today'

Also, a good review of Medicine on a Larger Scale, ed @ahlie.bsky.social Jeremy Greene and me, available open access @universitypress.cambridge.org A collection on the global history of social medicine (which can still be taught outside the US) www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... #histstm

We wanted to make diverse radical versions of social medicine from the global south available to health workers, including those in the US - just as partisan politics is suppressing even conventional social medicine! Bad timing - but that may change...

Our book is open access and available to anyone who wants to engage with social medicine in the current moment!

Available March 2026 from @berghahnbooks.bsky.social, but pre-order possible. The real editing has been done by Charlotte Greenhalgh and @clarecorbould.bsky.social #histsci #histstm #STS @austhistassoc.bsky.social

"Det er uklart for oss hvorfor grunnleggende medisinske og vitenskapelige prinsipper skal settes til side når det er snakk om behandling til transkjønnet ungdom. Det framstår diskriminerende." @atlefretheim.bsky.social @ahlie.bsky.social www.dagensmedisin.no/kjonnsinkong...

Is the documentation weak for puberty blockers? It depends on who defines the purpose of the treatment. A fundamental principle of evidence-based practice is that the patient group should have a decisive say. tidsskriftet.no/en/2025/03/o...

Er dokumentasjonen svak for pubertetsutsettende behandling for transungdom? Det kommer an på hvem som definerer formålet med behandlingen. Et grunnleggende prinsipp for kunnskapsbasert praksis tilsier at pasientgruppa bør ha et avgjørende ord med i laget. tidsskriftet.no/2025/03/deba...
