Dr Aisling Shalvey @ucc.ie THU 16 OCT - zoom link by email 12.30pm CET #CA22159 #EuroHistHealth #Skystorians #HistMed

Delighted to be taking part in this workshop today, thank you for hosting us @eurohealthhist.bsky.social !

It's notable that humanities and social sciences once again make up 50% of ERC starting awards in Ireland (a notably higher proportion than in other countries) despite the weak financial support for research in these disciplines nationally. We should fund what we're good at!

First archive visit of #UCARE1945 today in La Courneuve Archives Diplomatique, I’m very excited to get going! @uccresearch.bsky.social @mariescurie-ire.bsky.social

Unsere Datenbank ist jetzt online! Ich bin sehr glücklich ein Teil davon gewesen zu sein, und es nun mit der Welt teilen zu können

Same but with history of Nazi Germany/Holocaust

Not to be obnoxious and do the "as a historian" thing but I never honestly thought that my research/teaching on the histories of eugenics would ever be as acutely relevant in understanding the present, and goddess knows, I wish it wasn't the case

Delighted to take part in the press conference on the official launch of the Victims of Biomedical Research under National Socialism today - you can find the full database online now; ns-medical-victims.org/institutions...

I’m on LinkedIn now, no idea how to add all the bits and pieces - just in case you see a very odd profile with no info trying to follow you, that’s probably me 😅

Happy publication day to @drkyliesmith.bsky.social and @cethompson.bsky.social (& their authors!) we are so excited to read it!

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

Skulls once subject to racist study in Germany are laid to rest in New Orleans A memorial and jazz funeral honored 19 Black Americans, whose remains were recently repatriated from Germany where they were used for racial research in the late 1800s.

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
