She made important research contributions to the biochemisty of the cell nucleus & cardiovascular issues & our knowledge of the chemistry of histones & protein synthesis.

You can't talk about Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM) without mentioning ME/CFS. The term PEM was created to describe the unique manifestation occurring in people with ME/CFS.

If you separate PEM from its history and origin, you perpetuate the stigma surrounding ME/CFS. We need visibility and spread of knowledge.

OK have started to recreate my lists and pin them in advanced view. Interestingly, has been much easier to reconstitute my combined #histmed #histsci #hstm #sts list than the others.

Dans les années 1850, la coca, plante mythique des Incas, est étudiée pour ses propriétés thérapeutiques. Un médecin en particulier, Paolo Mantegazza, mène des expériences sur lui-même afin d'en préciser les effets psychotropes.

My understanding that the neti pot (nasal irrigator) comes from Ayurvedic medicine. Any #HistMed folks know if there was an equivalent practice in Arabic medicine?

Médecins et auto-expérimentations de psychotropes, épisode 3!

Avant la cocaïne, qu'ils étudient à partir de 1884, des scientifiques occidentaux font l'expérience de la plante dont elle est tirée : la coca. Et comme d’habitude, c'est pas triste !

Dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle, bien que des mythes circulent au sujet des propriétés légendaires de la plante (elle serait par exemple un « anti-famine »),

If you want to see some of my research, check out a photo essay I worked on for the DH journal Epoiesen. In it, I apply some arts-based methods to consider how we should reproduce primary evidence in the history of medicine. #HistMed https://epoiesen.carleton.ca/2022/01/10/dermographic-opacities/

I posted an #introduction when I first got here. With all the new mastodon users, it's a good time to re-introduce myself!

Hello!

I am a PhD candidate at Indiana University's Media School working on a dissertation on the mediation of human bodies as part of research into tuberculosis at the turn of the twentieth century. Research interests: Media Studies, Science and Technology Studies (#STS), Digital Humanities (#DH), History of Medicine (#HistMed), Cultural Studies, Post-Colonial Theory, Scientific Racism, Arts-Based Research, Museum Studies.

I post sporadically, sometimes about my own life, sometimes about my research. I'm working on doing data entry on a big corpus of text and image material from 1882-1926, so I'll share the strange (and sometimes disturbing) images I come across.

My lingering state of feeling perpetually sleep deprived made me take particular notice of a recent Columbia University Press “Off the Page” #podcast episode in which Quinn Eastman discussed his new book “The Woman Who Couldn’t Wake Up; Hypersomnia and the Science of Sleepiness” with Melek Firat Altay.

idk what an S3 bucket is but any public health professional or historian of medicine could have told you "don't leave abandoned buckets lying around, or some parasite will use them to launch malicious payloads, possibly including nasty worms and viruses"
