Cover image for History of Photography volume 48 issue 1 (2025). The background is grey. At the top it says History of Photography in white. In the middle of the page there is a glass plate negative of a photo studio. You can see a camera on a tripod, several other devices on the sides, and the stage, with more devices.
The latest issue of History of Photography is out and it includes my article on the funding and institutionalisation of medical photography! I loved that they used the only photo in the article, a negative glass plate of the Salpรชtriรจre photo studio, in the front cover โค๏ธ #photohist #histmed

Measuring Impact in Medical Humanities Work:ย Survive and Thriveย Journal
Survive and Thrive journal may not score highly on traditional impact metrics, says co-editor David Beard, but it is still important work.
"The conversation we want to host reaches more people touched by the healthcare system, and it reaches (for example) into the Arctic Circle" - there is more to medical humanities reach than traditional metrics of scholarly impact, says David Beard.
