Saw a lovely portrait of Tagore in our archives. He was rejected a knighthood, writing to Lord Chelmsford:

“The enormity of the measures taken by the Government in the Punjab for quelling some local disturbances has, with a rude shock, revealed to our minds the helplessness of our position as British subjects in India. The disproportionate severity of the punishments ...are without parallel in the history of civilised governments…”

Who is this man?

I've recently been cataloguing the papers of Frank Wise, a Labour MP, ILP member, and civil servant who worked as Director of the Soviet Union's Trade Office Centrosoyuz in the 1920s.

Amongst his papers is this photograph of an unidentified man (it isn't Frank!)

Any ideas?

Chemical Hall at Davidge Hall in Baltimore, MD, formerly known as the College of Medicine of Maryland, opened in1812 and survives as the oldest building in the Western Hemisphere continuously used for medical education. This semi-circular theater gets its name from the brick kiln-like niches built into its front wall where chemical experiments were performed.

Unfortunate. Prof went to the media before publishing peer reviewed papers. A sure sign of a fabrication. King Hezekiah left evidence but this isn’t it.

I have been podcasting historical characters for 2 1/2 years (some family related, some my family knew, others "new" to me). I now have episodes from the 1600s thru mid-20th Century. I am looking forward to connecting w/ those who just LOVE history & professional historians. Also I do writing, public speaking and sideline as a project manager. Interested especially in . Delighted to be here and checkout my profile for podcast info.

Fascinating discovery about a Hebrew King from almost 3000 years ago…

Playing with and getting the following response a lot: “Without access to more detailed historical records, it is difficult to say what the …” This tool may actually have the upside of encouraging more research into underserved areas of study since one way to ensure it’s not used for cheating is to set topics with little or no work available online.

Me in class: “Looks like no one managed to finish the reading, that’s on me, clearly I assigned too much today. Let’s discuss [X] instead.”

Students: 😮🤯🥹

It’s really powerful for students when the role model at the front of the classroom takes responsibility & shows imperfection. The more I the more I realize showing weakness teaches humaneness & combats impostor syndrome, & is one of the things my students most often say they loved when a course is over.

Me: “I need a new audiobook to listen to while doing dishes. I know, I’ll review some Machiavelli!”

Two sentences of audiobook later: “Waaah! Must go take three pages of notes!”

@cleanairlondon All three. Thread it, pin it, and use hashtags in every post. Use multiple hashtags though. Right now you’re the only one using Great Smog, and so people won’t likely think to search for it. Maybe try adding etc. Also consider adding or to your query so more people will notice that you’re asking for input.

Not sure this is the right place to ask, but I do hope I get some consideration for why I am asking... had someone turn up here today telling me I can't write my local history without reading "Before the Māori", some (I believe) apparent bullsh!t about govt and coverups...sounds like a right conspiracy theory nutwingjob writer, but I have to ask... has any scholarly rebuttal been put out about this so called "professional" work?
