#EAHMH interested in some 18thC madness at sea? Come to panel Melancholy as Crisis at 10:00 (Harriet Holters house, room 150) I'll be sharing findings from my @MSCActions project, looking at shades of 'unreason' and criminal responsibility in Danish-Norwegian naval courts!

#NavalHist query for wknd working: I read a blog/article about a mentally unwell e19thc(?) sailor, who either set light to something on board or people were worried about him using a candle or lantern. Was this by you, @Cat_S_Beck?? If anyone else recognise this, please say 🙏

@rebeccawynter Ooh I have definitely presented a case like this before but from the late 18thC and about a ship's surgeon... and not published (yet! he appears briefly in a chapter in a book that will be published VERY SOON 👀 watch this space 👀)

"we found that that having COVID-19 infection in patients with ADHD was associated with more severe symptoms and an increased rate of referral to hospitalization, even after accounting for variables known to increase the risk for both disorders." #ADHD #ADHDTwitter

Just found out 'Spaces of Enlightenment Science' (ed. Larry Stewart and Gordon McOuat) has been published! It includes a chapter from me on the imagined space of early modern scientific correspondence, but don't hold that against it... brill.com/view/title/562…
