Congratulations to Meg Leja for her public history work as well as her #histmed and #medmed scholarship, bringing "light" to the so-called "dark ages" and medieval healthcare as understood in popular culture. One step (or trend-worthy cure...) at a time!

Journals, of all disciplines, MUST do better. Stop publishing "historical" research without consulting actual historians who work in the field.
