I feel the same every time someone tells me to bundle up so I won't catch a cold. Sure, germ theory has been around for 150+ years. But the environmental theories that came before haven't entirely lost their grip. #HisSci #HisMed
What a great read! I just loved this book on Gutenberg and on each and everyone of all known "Gutenbergs". I'm a bit blown away by this book, the detail, the writing styl, the sheer joy of researching the history of print and book provenance.

Can't tell how incredibly proud I am this is finally being published. Available from the 10th of July, my book on Eise Eisinga, translated by the incredible Liz Waters.🥳
And just look at those blurbs 😍😍

In a library a large grey leather topped table is spelt out '10K' using a combination of long weighted book 'snakes' and oblong cardboard items. Some of these are blue, yellow and red. In the background are bookshelves and a seated life sized statue of Charles Darwin. The statue is reading a book and is all white. You can also see a photocopier and antique looking wooden ladder.
We've reached our first 10,000 followers!!🥳
Even Darwin looks excited.
We look forward to a New Year of sharing more of our collections and work with you. Let's have some great conversations!

Reconsidering the origins of model psychosis! Might intoxication represent an orienting concept in the history of madness more generally, making 'model psychosis' a founding model in mental pathology? #philmed #hismed #hispsy #hissci

It was great to chat with our guests that evening about #HisSci #HisMed #EnvHis #MiningHeritage, and we look forward to future collaborations!
…OK, so scheduling my latest Friends of Charles Darwin newsletter to release on the same day as a surprise new Taylor Swift double-album wasn’t, perhaps, my greatest marketing move. But it’ll still be going out later today. You can subscribe for free here:
