Hello Twitter mind (x mind? Urgh) I’m looking for examples of public facing projects related to the health/ medical humanities with at least one historian involved. For public history teaching. Bonus points for creative outputs. Things like the fab sensing spaces of healthcare

Please spend today with the ones you love.

More recs for action via @ProfMadhuK
If you’re in the UK: please write to your MP
If you’re international: please write to the VC of Bristol Uni Evelyn Welch asking her to ask the uni to intervene (so far to my knowledge she has not replied to staff emails about this)

The more international attention the case gets, the more likely the HO is to overturn it - please share if you can, international friends and colleagues

We're horrified to hear that our brilliant, dedicated colleague Dr Doseline Kiguru has been denied a UK visa for her six-year-old daughter. Doseline's a fantastic teacher - many of our followers will have benefitted from her guidance. Please spread the word 🙏

Completely obsessed with this advert from 1861 that uses the controversy over Darwin's recent publication to sell some watches.
