When I was a student, I absolutely loved exploring the basement of Hodges Figgis and Greene’s staircase and so many other bookshops that are now sadly gone. Love doing this while travelling too. Definitely the best way to discover books you never knew you needed to read…

When I read about people ‘discovering’ and republishing ‘lost classics’, I often think: Well, they were in print once

With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵 Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7
An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

What's the first major news story you remember as a child? The Challenger explosion. I remember watching the footage on the little B&W TV that only came out of the closet for space shuttle launches and presidential speeches.

Unclear. However, I offer in reply the Evans Postulate, so named for my nephew who offered it two decades ago as a culinary certitude: There is no food that cannot be improved by the addition of either bacon or chocolate. Discuss amongst yourselves.

X-ray tech's hand showing damage from radiation exposure, c.1900. This photo from the Royal London Hospital demonstrates just how damaging the effects of radiation exposure can be. X-rays were first discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, but their dangers were not yet understood. #histmed

Excited to share our latest. Key takeaway: Aspirational guidelines are only motivational when they are perceived as achievable. To make timely palliative care accessible to patients with cancer,we need more than just aspirational guidelines. acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
