Great to see the volume is out in ebook form, and in open access! Full of wonderful contributions! Check out my chapter on Soviet participation in the "wider networks" of WHO malariology if you want to know how Soviet specialists both reinforced and transcended the boundaries of the Cold War!

I’m teaching Research Methods for the first time this coming semester. #skystorians , tell me about articles in which the authors use their primary sources in unconventional, masterful, and/or especially compelling ways. Any time period, any topic! Trying to fill a few holes in the syllabus.

Loren Graham (based at MIT) one of the greatest historians of science, who wrote on Russian & Soviet science, passed away on Dec 15. Loren's brilliant insights and publications are many but he was also an incredibly kind & generous scholar. He supported me throughout my career & I owe him immensely.

George’s work provides (among many other things) a truly fascinating example of the reach of transimperial models of expertise. If you don’t think you’re interested in Romanian forestry, all I can say is; you just haven’t realized you are yet!
