Fight For A Union@fightforaunion.bsky.social · last wk.

This week hundreds of nurses across 8 cities took to the streets to demand hospitals cut ties with Palantir. Since when are hospitals an arm of the surveillance state? We must purge Palantir from our healthcare systems. Surveillance tech has no place in healthcare!

Question for #histSTM, #histsci & #scicomm friends: Once the Academy of Natural Sciences closes its galleries, what institution will take its place as the oldest natural history museum in the United States? whyy.org/articles/aca... #Museums #MuseumSky #NaturalHistory 🗃️📜

The Academy of Natural Sciences museum in Philly is closing

The Academy will continue scientific research and public education, but its museum will go the way of the dinosaur.

Today is the 250th anniversary of Boston’s mass inoculation against smallpox on July 3, 1776. The city was effectively closed to commerce from July through September 1776. The mass immunization effort was cheered as evidence of true independence. Here's how I described it in my book:

While John Adams and fifty-five men in Philadelphia debated a resolution on independence and the final wording of the Declaration of Independence, the people of Boston declared their own independence from smallpox. The measures taken in both cities provided hope that America would not only be a republic free of a king but also a country free from disease. On July 3, 1776, a day after independence was declared in Philadelphia, the Massachusetts General Court voted to allow inoculation. Despite the dangers of infection, the people of Boston and the surrounding areas cheered the news. Ezekiel Price, a court official and insurance broker, declared “Liberty is given for to inoculate for the small-pox; many begin upon it this afternoon.” Hannah Winthrop described the scene: “Boston has given up its Fears of an invasion & is busily employd in Communicating the Infection. Straw Beds & Cribs are daily Carted into the Town.” She wrote that “Men Women & children eagerly crowding to inoculate is I think as modish as running away from the Troops of a barbarous George was the last year.” Dr. James Warren wrote to John Adams that the “rage for inoculation” had “whirled me into its vortex.…” Warren and his wife Mercy Otis joined Abigail Adams and her four children who had been invited to be inoculated at Abigail’s uncle’s house in Boston along with Abigail’s sisters Elizabeth Cranch and Mary Shaw and their families. Even though Boston was teeming with the sick, the prospect that the city could conquer smallpox made it "a scene delightful indeed." Cotton Tufts was satisfied that he could now "take my leave of Earth, satisfied that the Day of American Redemption was at Hand."

I am so delighted and honored to be a part of this Past & Present Supplement, “Medicine, Race, and Slavery in the Transatlantic World, 1600–1850.” It was a pleasure and so enriching to work with @hsmurphy.bsky.social and the editors at @pastpresentsoc.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/past...

Medicine, Race, and Slavery in the Transatlantic World, 1600–1850

As the title suggests, the provocation of this Supplement is simple: that the histories of medicine, transatlantic slavery, and race cannot, and should not

Industry-focused strategy ‘an assault on Irish research system’

Non-commercial basic research and PhDs in arts and humanities subjects at risk under Research Ireland plan, argue scholars
