RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc.

It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

The first batch of STAC 5 (Elizabethan Star Chamber proceedings) catalogue enhancements went live today. Short titles, dates, party names, document type, and county as standard. For some other really exciting additions, read on. discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/r/C...

Also, bc their devices in HS were set to be easy, everything was automated. For example, if they used Google Classroom, files automatically linked. They also didn't have to log into anything. Many did not know how to turn their devices on or off & they had no idea what "control+alt+delete" was for.

I initially give them the benefit of the doubt bc my university uses D2L, which I abhor bc it is not user-friendly, but as someone who taught high school during the pandemic, many students would submit blank files bc their other teachers would give 100% completion credit without opening the files.

A bluesky reminder that if you would like to contribute to the www.mmor.co.uk/blog series on "Sources for Medicine, Slavery, and Race-making in the #EarlyModern World", please reach out! We pay a modest sum of £250 and offer editorial feedback and advice.
