The "Medical Gaze" fits quite a lot with reductionism broadly, and many lingering issues in fragmented views of human experience, of being a person.

https://confront-eugenics.org/exhibitions/we-are-not-alone-legacies-of-eugenics/
Sobering; It's worth reflecting on the role scientific establishments had in propping up eugenics and racial hierarchy for far too long.

If you're already a reader of Maura Flannery's superb "Herbarium World" blog, then you'll very likely be delighted to learn of her new book "In the Herbarium" from @yalepress. (And if you have not yet discovered her blog, then this note brings you two new sources of natural history knowledge to explore.)
You can find "Herbarium World" at https://herbariumworld.wordpress.com.

I was wondering if anyone here was aware of a cool place to visit with my wife and (adult) children there related to #physics, #quantumphysics, or #historyofscience related to Vienna? I'll of course enjoy Vienna for other purposes, such as music orchestra, Freud's house, and Sisi museum.

The Pennsylvania coin is the second of four to be released this year. It features the polio vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk and his team at the University of Pittsburgh in the early 1950s. At the time, polio was a devastating disease that disproportionally affected children and young adults and left many paralyzed and unable to walk.
