Fantastic position for any #histmed people!

Congrats Agnes!

Being bilingual doesn't mean I'm perfectly fluent in two languages it means I often can only think of the word I want to use in the language I'm not using

And this is exactly what is so insidious about eugenics: these ideas have persisted and are encouraged, but too often we balk at calling eugenicist ideas and people exactly what they are. Not to mention too many people don’t know what positive eugenics is, or that eugenics is not just Nazis.

How kind of you, thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

Many countries mark Refugee Weeks in June to celebrate refugees' stories and contributions. 🌍 June 20 | World Refugee Day

This month, HIDDEN will share inspiring stories and important facts. Join us in standing with those forced to flee their homes. @costprogramme.bsky.social

June is Refugee Awareness Month.

This month, we’re sharing stories that matter—like You Don't Know What War Is by Yeva Skalietska.

At just 12 years old, Yeva fled war-torn Ukraine. Her diary is a raw, unforgettable account of survival and courage. @costprogramme.bsky.social

A bit late announcing it, but delighted to say the project I worked on @leopoldina.org funded by @maxplanck.de is now available online! The database of the victims of biomedical research under National Socialism is open access, including biographies ns-medical-victims.org/mpg-project

We found that AI tools - both general like #ChatGPT and research-specific like #Elicit - lack the reliability, relevancy and accuracy to summarise research for teachers. This is important because we have been sold the idea that AI will make research more accessible.

A truly brilliant conference @hiddencostaction.bsky.social, major thanks to @jenniferredmond.bsky.social for putting it all together 🎉 @costprogramme.bsky.social
