As John says, the deadline for abstracts is January 1, and we're looking forward to your submissions! This volume will explore how ethics can be re-engaged as a living, contested, and transformative force in the study of conflict. More information is available through the link:

Such a pleasant gift to receive just before the holidays. Absolutely taken aback to read a review of my book written by one of the leading scholars in the field of northern history and a champion of academic scholarship. Thank you, Ken Coates, for your deep and meaningful reflections on my book.

Are you looking to read read a new book over the winter break?! (and then send me a review afterwards? 😀) Check out this amazing list of books that I have available to review for H-Environment! #envhist #envhum #ecocrit #aghist #landscape #conservation #anthropocene docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Such a great review that covers and critiques my entire book. The insights are worth reflecting on for current and future histories of the Cold War sciences in Canada and beyond. Thanks very much for the platform @nichecanada.bsky.social and the review @tinaadcock.bsky.social

Very touching tribute to Tim Cook by Pamela Wallin in the Senate of Canada. youtu.be/17wNnUfCdx0?...

A real pleasure speaking with @theseangraham.bsky.social about the history of military R&D and medical research ethics in post-1945 Canada. More in the book, Frontier Science, but a good intro to the topic for all those interested.

“Frontier Science is a necessary and timely addition to the bookcases of those interested in histories of extreme environments, Cold War science, and modern Canada.” — Very pleased to read this encouraging and well-rounded review of my book by @farsouthhistory.bsky.social!

Excited to share that I’ll be in Ottawa and speaking @carleton.ca as part of the 2025 Shannon Lectures on Oct. 6th. My talk will focus on the history of medical research ethics in Canada during the Cold War and will draw on recent research. Details and registration: carleton.ca/history/shan...

Glad to see my work on this important historical episode of the Cold War sciences in Canada spotlighted here. Thanks to Isabel Campbell and everyone @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social for supporting the original research project, and to @thewalrus.ca for the platform to share this chapter excerpt.

Thanks for sharing! I’ll take this as a reminder to read and revisit Riley’s work again for its many useful and important insights.

Endlessly thankful for this thorough and thoughtful engagement with my work! Thank you so much @farsouthhistory.bsky.social for reading and reviewing Frontier Science — your insights and reflections on polar science, the Cold War, and historical knowledge describe the book in so many new ways!

Absolutely thrilled and incredibly honoured to see my book nominated among such an amazing group of peers! This list is a testament to the geographic and thematic breadth of current scholarship in Canadian History, and we all are fortunate for the work and commitment of the entire community! WOW!

We're proud to announce the 9th Hannah Chair! Co-funded with the J&W Murphy Foundation, the Roper-Hannah Chair at @dalhousieu.bsky.social and University of King’s College expands our national network and will advance research in health equity, ethics, and history. buff.ly/6k9UNGn

This looks promising! Wonderful to see reference to 'the indispensable tools of critical historical analysis'! And to 'health equity' and the deficiencies of Eurocentrism. Such a contrast to south of the border! #histmed #histstm #STS @aahmhistmed.bsky.social @sshmedicine.bsky.social

Fellow #histSTM scholars! The "Essays and Reviews" section of Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences (@hsnatsci.bsky.social) is looking for contributors to a February 2026 special section on "Historical Practices." More information in this Call for Proposals + in this thread. (1/?)

Fellow #academicsky profs working on syllabi & looking for assignments that AI can't complete--check out my book hunt assignment. Students have to search for & check out a book from the library. It was a hit with my survey course this fall! /1 cassandragoodhistorian.com/2024/11/12/t... 🗃️

Thanks very much for reading my book @farsouthhistory.bsky.social! I hope you enjoy it! I’m reading “Her Space, Her Time” by Shohini Ghose, who recounts the contributions of many trailblazing women scientists in physics and astronomy. www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/697266...

There's lots of buzz about scientists on #bluesky! Don't forget to make room for the medical and science historians, too! Here's my #starterpack of some awesome people (and institutes). From medieval astrolabes to Victorian corsets, radium soap, and beyond! I got you covered. go.bsky.app/3DuVT6Z

Recently had the opportunity to discuss my latest book and military science in northern Canada during the Cold War. The video is now available. Gratitude to the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada and an engaging audience! youtu.be/ffnFmqIiCbM?...
