I had the amazing opportunity this week to visit Durham University and deliver my paper in their historic castle! 🏰

For a 19th century UK example, you might find Tim Cassedy's article 'Minimismal Monsters in Our Blood and Brains' interesting (see Literature and Medicine vol 37, 2019). He examines the case study of John Gilchrist who advocated for homeopathic treatment in 1833. It's a very curious case study!

I had a great time talking about the optics of microscopy at this year's SHNH conference! 🔬 I come away feeling enriched by the papers we heard and the conversations we shared.
