Not going to AHA, but seeing people post screenshots of their panels. Always interesting to see the all east coast based panels.

Cost and distance are high from the west, but weather has to be just as much of a deterrent to not going

My article in the AH is on the history of meteorology. I wanted it there as it was based in rural Argentina, but also reached out them and asked if there was a fit issue and they said they are interested in all aspects of rural history

This looks super cool. I wonder what a Latin American history version of this would look like
So it has taken a bit longer than promised but the Oxford Illustrated History of the United States is about to go into production! Watch this space for pub date and possible (shameless) semiquincentennial branding. And massive thanks to the stellar contributors who have been incredible to work with

Hasn’t caught on any mainstream level, and even now with more people on it feels more like everyone standing kind of quietly in a room

For more than a century, native oysters have been missing from Scotland's Firth of Forth. Now they're back! 🦪🦪🦪
It's a buzz knowing people are working hard to restore vital ocean habitats
Imagine what it'll be like having a huge oyster reef back in the F of F! 💙

I have just set up a starter pack for Latin Americanists. Please share it widely so we can develop a larger community of researchers engaged in Latin American Studies from a broad interdisciplinary perspective. Thanks go.bsky.app/UjzLMBx
