My favorite professor gifted me a copy of @bettinajudd ´s Feelin - that woman knows me.

"In sum," @FrankCWorrell writes, "psychological research shows the best strategy to prevent mental health issues for women seeking abortions is to make them safe, affordable, and accessible" ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/10.2105/AJ…

17 years after the publication of my first book, "Black Markets: The Supply and Demand of Human Body Parts," glad to see these issues receiving Congressional and media attention.

My copy of Black Women and da’Rona arrived yesterday. Insightful and perceptive readings on experiences of Black women in the pandemic. So pleased that I am part of this valuable collection @Dr_JZ

We have a collection of 8"x6" glass negs of Liverpool in 1930, showing city centre decorations erected for the Centenary Celebration of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. This is the bottom of Bold Street with the Lyceum dominating, but the photo is of the two signs "CATHEDRAL"

Great opportunity for @livuniHSS PGRs

It’s here! It’s real! (And it’s heavy!) The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History by Ned Blackhawk is shipping #twitterstorians: amazon.com/Rediscovery-Am…

Monday motivation

Proofs!

The US has had 130 mass shootings since the start of 2023 and 13 occurred at schools. In 86 days, 63 children have died from gun violence. To paraphrase Mandela, there is no keener revelation of the GOP’s soul than the way it treats its guns versus the way it treats its children.

Street renaming in Liverpool for @Eurovision by @LivUniArchTechs . Rewriting history.

1/ Anyone seeking to connect today's mass shooting in Nashville to the shooter's apparent trans or non-binary identity is trafficking in bigotry. There is no link between being trans & being violent. Prior mass shooters? Cisgender so far as we know. But y'all didn't blame THAT...

We’re here if you need a place to be today. If your kids need a moment to just be kids, we’ll still be hosting our Dog Man Celebration event from 3-5pm. Graphic novels and shop dogs aplenty. We love you, Nashville.

Lost and found: favourite running glove recovered after 6 days under the ice in Sefton Park!

200+ delegates, 63 panels, 14 (amazing) conference ambassadors, 3 (also amazing) keynote speakers, 2 double decker buses, and that's a wrap on #BAAS2022 !

Thanks to the excellent BAAS 2022 team at the University of Hull for a wonderful return to being with humans discussing ideas. Now the job of burning-off the splendid pastries 🥮

We were delighted to welcome @SCKenny2, Senior Lecturer in 19th and 20th Century North American History, to speak to staff @TheBHF today. The talk covered intrinsic links between American slavery and medical history, and how these feed into health and research inequalities today
