The most formative film I have ever watched. It was voluntary viewing in a seminar on the history of medicine in the third Reich. Gerhard Baader, the professor, put it on Saturday early am, all students who came stayed for the entire 9.5 hours. It is not a 'documentary' about the Shoah...

Turns out our University isn't really in financial distress. Trust your union to crunch the numbers when the vice chancellor is just gesturing at opaque forecasts and models. #UCU www.ucuedinburgh.org.uk/blog/2eppzf7...

This fantastic collection of bibliographic essays is not just a narrative guide to scholarship about past epidemics but a collective reckoning with the limitations of #histmed #histsci in the face of a pandemic. All #openaccess and highly recommended. www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/isis/202...
