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.

CANCELLED

Unfortunately we have had to cancel Saturday's lecture due to the adverse weather conditions.

Further details to follow, including the new date for Prof Foster's lecture.

#HSTM #snow

On Sat 11 March Harrogate School of Theology & Mission is delighted to be hosting the eminent theologian Prof Paul Foster, speaking live on "Meet the Apostolic Fathers: Christianity in the first half of the Second Century".

Prof Foster has a particular interest in how Christian thought and doctrine emerged and was shaped by the so-called Apostolic Fathers of the first and second century, and it will be a fascinating lecture.

Come in person, or via Zoom - details and tickets available via our website:

Did you know that the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense had a number of medical research groups that focused on illnesses such as sickle cell anemia that were under-studied because they were considered to be a "black disease."

Less than a week to go until Harrogate School of Theology & Mission's January lecture, on Saturday 21st Jan, 10-12.

We are thrilled to be having Dr Eve Poole OBE speaking about Capitalism and Christianity. We live and function in a capitalist society, but how often do we stop to examine and question the values and assumptions underlying this approach to economics, which has such a pervasive effect on our society? Under the broad umbrella of Capitalism and Christianity, Eve will cover her books on Capitalism’s Toxic Assumptions and Theology and Consumerism. How best should Christians grapple with Capitalism, and what is our role in the economy?

This session is online only, so tickets must be purchased in advance from EventBrite.

NEW! My review of _Oceans Under Glass_ by Samantha Muka
for the journal Science

Fantastic book. Highly recommended if you're interested in technological tinkering and/or knowledge creation/circulation. Or, you know, aquariums. 😉

In 1833 a UK Government Select Committee formed to look at the idea of 'Public Walks'. In this new post I’ve taken the long view of what they were, why they were considered important for public health & how they relate to today’s RoW #FestiveFootsteps #envhist #hstm #parks @histodons @histstm

Apparently, in the 1970s the publisher Heron brought out an edition of OoS with the tag—

"For every real man who has a place in his heart where no women are allowed."

Now that #GrantAllen's "time is not quite so filled now with hack-work as formerly," he can enjoy using the telescope that "[#Darwin] and the other kind friends" bought for him.

What treasures {or horrors, as the case may sometimes be} might the Darwin Correspondence Project at #CambridgeUL reveal about your #C19 passions?

To celebrate the 163rd anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species today, the Darwin Correspondence Project at #CambridgeUL has published the full edition of #Darwin 's correspondence online! Explore more than 15000 letters, from Darwin's first letter in 1822 to his death in 1882.

Much as I like physical books, it's really exciting to have the collected correspondence now full-text searchable:

I never managed to post an #introduction, so here goes.

I’m Tom Scheinfeldt. I’m a faculty member at the University of Connecticut, where I teach history of technology, digital culture, design thinking, and digital humanities. I also direct an interdisciplinary research incubator called Greenhouse Studios. I’ve worked on lots of things through the years both at @uconn and at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, including #Sourcery, #THATCamp, and #Omeka.

I blog at https://foundhistory.org. I like #swimming and #skiing and I have a wife and two sons. We live in West Hartford.

Loving Mastodon so far!

(BTW: If you followed me in the last week or so, you may want to do so again. A bunch of followers were erased due to some technical issues on my server.)

Wonderful to be back in #Oxford today! As ever, lots of great finds in the Bod including this lovely colour plate of a #gynandromorph Gouldian finch described by biologists F. A. E. Crew and S. S. Munro in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in June 1938.

Is it just me (or my instance) or are there really no toots (and not really very many tweets, either) from #HSS22 in Chicago? I'm assuming you'd all be using the same handle here as per the birdsite... If there's a different one, someone please tell me (once you all wake up later today, obviously...)!
