At one point, trying to write my book about birth control (still in progress), I realized that I may have to write a history of the concept of “side effects” in general. But that’s like at least 10+ years down my to do list of other things to write, so someone else in histmed please do it thanks

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.

Last week, AHA director of publications @lmansley.bsky.social Laura Ansley spoke at the Dittrick Medical History Center on publishing the history of contraception and led workshops at Case Western Reserve University on careers for history majors and op-ed writing.

Just a reminder that @contingent-mag.bsky.social would absolutely love to run a mailbag on the dumbass arguments about "low enrollment majors" and other things contained in this nested thread if there's a NTT historian out there who wants to pitch it.

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $

I am driving two hours each way to/from work on my teaching days, and it is very apparent a few weeks in that I need to up my audiobook listening game. So, what are your favorites? I especially enjoy multiple narrators / full casts.

there is a thought piece in my brain about getting a tenure-track job at the weirdest/worst possible time for higher ed, but I am so thoroughly burnt out by the decade-long process of trying to get said job and then starting it next month, that it will probably stay in there.

I swear one of these days I'm going to get married simply to switch to some absurd hyphenated last name that no one else has, and I will update every single one of my socials. Maybe throw in some random numbers and characters for fun. It will look like a super secure password dammit.
