The ink is dry, the AAHM celebrations are being planned: I will be joining Towson University's history department this fall as a tenure-track assistant professor in the history of medicine. I can't believe it finally happened. I am so happy and so lucky.

This is in 2 days: "How Genetics Has Changed the History of the Black Death, And How History Has Changed Genetics." www.mcgill.ca/ssom/upcomin.... Looking forward to a lively discussion of how a #histsci approach to on-going research can capture a paradigm shift in the act. 🧪

In these times we need a hero like Frederick the mouse (ala Lionni)
