I organized this statement on the historical importance of federal agencies that protect and forward human health. As Project 2025 is dismantling them as I write, it is important that these agencies employ thousands of people committed to scientific research. #histmed nursingclio.org/2025/01/27/t...

Two years ago, the AHA Council issued the Guidelines for Broadening the Definition of Historical Scholarship. Last May, we asked #AHAPerspectives readers to tell us: Why is what you do scholarship? Today, we share essays by 12 historians in answer to that question. 🗃️ 🧵

@jaivirdi.com you're the best 🩵 thanks for the plug.

Check out @bethlinker.bsky.social's wonderful book on the subject!

"when looking at the long history of posture-improvement campaigns....they fuelled discrimination, blame and the growth of a neoliberal approach to health care – a means of preventive medicine that is in reach of only those who can afford it." #histstm #academicsky #publichealth

It occurs to me that if the new regime wants TV personalities for the Cabinet, as in Hegseth for Defense, that Cookie Monster would be great for Dept. of Agriculture so we can make sure all cookies use American-grown wheat.
