Jusqu'ici tout va bien, mais quand on figure dans les Bulletins de la Société anatomique de Paris, ça termine rarement bien :

Heute vor 200 Jahren wurde Jean-Martin Charcot geboren. Der #Pathologe & #Neurologe etablierte am Pariser Hôpital de la Salpêtrière die 1. neurologische Abteilung in Europa. Dort ließ er Fotos von Patient*innen anfertigen, die mit #Hysterie diagnostiziert waren:

Happy birthday to #neuroscientist Hendrik Van der Loos (1929-1993) shown in my #linocut with his discovery (along with medical student Thomas Woolsey), of the barrel cortex, along with the mouse head & whiskers linked directly to it.

Some species of rodents have a region of the somatosensory cortex that was named the #barrelcortex after its shape, and which contains the barrel field. 🧵

Die menschlichen Knochen, die in den vergangenen Jahren bei mehreren Grabungen auf dem Gelände der @freieuniversitaet gefunden wurden, sollen am 23.3. auf dem #Waldfriedhof #Dahlem bestattet werden. Sie stammen insbesondere aus Sammlungen des ehem. KWI für Anthropologie, menschliche Erblehre & Eugenik ( @maxplanckgesellschaft).

I've moved to hcommons.social, so I'm reposting my #introduction:

I'm a historian of #earlymodernengland, working on #gender #HistoryofFamily, #histmed. I've published on the history of #infertility and I'm now working on a book on #sisters

I'm in #AltAcademia - the program manager for the #DanDavidPrize, currently the biggest prize in the world for #histodons and scholars of the past.

I'm also a #PhDMom of an only child, a #geek, #Dnd player and a knitter and cross-stitcher.
