I remember sitting by the banks of the Chatahoochee River, talking with @cindyermus.bsky.social about this volume. We knew we had the themes to publish the volume from @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social for such a book. As it turned out, it’s better than either of us imagined!

What Did β€œTerror is the Order of the Day” Mean in the French Revolution? By Suzanne Levin In recent years, debates about the β€œTerror” in the French Revolution have been enriched with several new perspectives. Despite this, the many works attempting to seek the β€œorigins”…

What did β€œTerror is the order of the day” mean during the French Revolution?

A new AoR piece breaks down the political pressures, popular demands, & revolutionary logic behind this infamous 1793 declarationβ€”and why it mattered far beyond the guillotine.

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and β€˜biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

Scoop: The NIH infectious-diseases institute (NIAID) will soon scrub β€œpandemic preparedness” and β€œbiodefense” from its web pages, according to e-mails I obtained.

The directive is the start of a broader shake-up at NIAID, which has long been attacked by Republicans.

FYI: I just tried uploading a photograph of an 18th-century doc to ChatGPT to test its transcription chops for this kind of file. It completely (and convincingly!) made up the whole thing. From the very first line.
I fear for the future of...well, everything. But definitely also the profession.
