🎙️ In the new podcast episode, David Herzberg, Joseph M. Gabriel & Nils Kessel reflect on the shifting boundaries between medicines & drugs, challenging the idea that these categories are fixed or purely scientific. 🎧 buff.ly/XLYAyAm #BookSky @jmgabriel.bsky.social @nilskessel.bsky.social

A response to recent reporting in Germany, in service of clarity and accountability: First, it’s important to be precise when it comes to critical infrastructure like Signal. Signal was not “hacked” — in that our encryption, infrastructure, & the integrity of the app’s code was not compromised. 1/

If you're a health researcher looking to improve your grant application by adding a historical component, come to me. I'll refer you to a historian who'll do the business. No finders' fee either! @sshmedicine.bsky.social

could people please stop talking about the debate now and go back to talking about how the Republicans want to ban contraception, privatize the national parks, and put their political opponents in jail?

the road not (yet) traveled - before conscious uncoupling was for celebrities, it was for oil companies seeking to get out of oil. from Platt's Oilgram, August 7, 1975.

"Sun, Seeking New Dawn beyond Oil, Begins to 'Uncouple'"
