#twitterstorians @AcademicChatter I’m working on an infographic list of human and social rights movements/events/moments involving violence which we consider today to have been beneficial to society (and also celebratory). Any suggestions/contributions?

@beansvelocci It’s also such a joy when they spontaneously lose all of your notes and highlights when you log back in.

Sometimes I forget what it was like to grow up in rural Ohio, and then we drive past the Guns & Golf Carts shop.

@AnnaCrichton That is why it’s super important to pick a department that is in tune with its student needs and stresses, however. I know that my experience has not been universal in other programs (or even within my own, tbh, bc grad life is very much about self-pacing).

@AnnaCrichton This is absolutely a thing. It feels a lot different and less toxic as a graduate student (okay, well this likely depends on your program, but I’ve been able to do 9-5 work since grad work feels like a job if you treat it that way, and my life felt really balanced).

Sivaramakrishan points out that the problem of misinformation in #COVID19 is much more complicated than getting people to listen to experts. They don’t always trust experts because of experience and history (nor should they always trust experts) #AAHMPandemicHistory

@CLFaye @aahmhistmed This was a great point. If we want communities with limited healthcare access to trust our specialists, then it is important that we prioritize their health and care. Perhaps historians can help bridge the dialogue and direct prioritization of the vulnerable and impoverished?

@morbidmabel You bring up such important context here. This needs a better stronghold in our discussions on global response.

During #AAHMPandemicHistory historian Gregg Mitman suggests that if a vaccine is developed, you can be certain that Africa will be the last continent to see it. Keith Wailoo’s panel noted that we have high expectations for a COVID vaccine, yet we still don’t have one for AIDS.

What new society we create in the post-COVID wake depends on our ability to move beyond these issues and instead protect humanity as a whole—including the most impoverished and vulnerable.

I keep returning to this quote from historian Kevin Siena’s book, Rotten Bodies: “It was often the issues of who died and where, rather than how many died, that mattered most.”

Hear hear! Though if any scientists/doctors would like to comment on history of medicine, we (both at Hopkins and in our #histmed community) have plenty of qualified people they can work with to do so.
