Look what I found at the Wellcome Collection shop! Obviously I couldn't resist @drbeldavis.bsky.social

Very happy on my way to London to spend the day at the Wellcome Library and then the Picturing Health event, which is sold out! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/picturing-...

Meme showing a worker labelled "academic staff" digging a hole in the ground while 10 others look labelled with management titles such as "Director of Human Resources" look on. The caption underneath reads "The only way we can cut costs is to reduce the number of academic staff..."

A meme for the modern university...

I love Platonic so so much

Been saying this repeatedly - it's not a 'bit', I genuinely don't understand why we waste our time teaching students about research ethics if we're encouraging them to use tools that ignore every single one of those requirements. If we support skipping ethics why just for genAI? sheer hypocrisy.

Migrants already carry out work for their communities, it’s called ‘having a fucking job’ and it’s mandatory because we aren’t eligible for benefits

I'm already dreading having to choose a primary school, I hadn't even thought about secondary 🙈

Next in the list is Aryn Martin, Natasha Myers and Ana Viseu's "The Politics of Care in Technoscience", the perfect article for what I'm think about at the moment. I'd gladly take more recommendations on #STS literature on care! www.jstor.org/stable/43829...

Resharing as many people thought was about a different kind of darkroom 😂
📸🏠🏳️‍🌈I wish to speak to LGBTQIA people who have experience of having a home darkroom/using a darkroom (in Britain) that felt like home.

A poster with a read background and a photograph of a woman lying on a white sheet, with her top just under her chest. There are marks on her bade belly, her hands lying on the sides of her hips. On the right top corner it says Picturing Health: Ethics, Experience and the Evolution of Medical Photography. On the left bottom corner it says Free Talk and Discussion Wednesday 1 October. The Wellcome Trust logo is on the left top corner.

What does the future of medical and scientific imaging look like?

Our History Research Seminar @uninorthampton.bsky.social kicks off next Wed 1 Oct with a talk by me on my new project 'Medievalism, gender and politicised nostalgia in the British extreme right, 1962 – 1982'. It will be at 12pm UK time and on Teams. Email rachel.moss @ northampton.ac.uk for a link.

We're organising a workshop funded by a grant, which has a buget for catering. Oh but the workshop is not taking place in my university. Guess how many emails I've exchanged and how many people are involved.
Anyway, if anyones knows of a catering company in London that invoices lmk! thank you!

Excited to welcome our 1st class of the year with a visit from @dmuhistory.bsky.social students! We have all our faves out - medieval docs, the weird and wonderful and preservation nightmares! What's not to ❤️ @dmu.ac.uk @librarydmu.bsky.social #EYAEducation @exploreyourarchive.bsky.social #archives

This goes directly to the top of my reading list! #histmed #photohist #ethics

Pregnant women deserve so much better than Trump’s theatre of scaremongering and shame | Kate Womersley There is no credible evidence linking autism with maternal paracetamol use. But the US president’s ‘tough it out’ message could harm mothers and babies, says doctor Kate Womersley

Yes 📣 @katewomersley.com 📣

"This political theatre highlights a longstanding and harmful problem: pregnant women, and their babies, are routinely let down by partial, poor-quality and missing medical evidence."

Pathology and Visual Culture: The Scientific Artworks of Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot and the Salpêtrière School By Natasha Ruiz-Gómez In this book, Natasha Ruiz-Gómez delves into an extraordinary collection of pathological drawings, photographs, sculptures, and casts created by neurologists at Paris’s Hôpital de la Salpêtrière in th...

Next up is Natasha Ruiz-Gomez's Pathology and Visual Culture www.psupress.org/books/titles..., A very much needed study that examines the visual materials produced at the Salpêtrière, particularly the Musée Charcot, through the lens of art history. Another great example of visual medical humanities!

Oh I love this!! Thanks for sharing. Very cool indeed!

Very sad for Robert Redford’s family and friends, but scrolling through all the posts with old photos of one of the hottest men to ever grace the screen is a real consolation for the rest of us.

If you are marching through London against mass migration, you are *by definition* a racist.

I love BIU Santé! One of my favourite history of medicine libraries
