Great to be at European Association for the History of Medicine #EAHMH2025 in Berlin this week. Have been busy & terrible at sharing on here, but having a lovely time! First #histmed conference since 2019 as I've been going to health/design stuff instead, and it's so nice to reconnect with people.

#eahmh25 has been a great conference - huge 🙏 to organisers. Seeing old friends & meeting new ones. And for me, finally visiting Berlin. I’ve mainly been conferencing but have also managed some mini field trips to Sanssouci, the botanic gardens (Potsdam & Berlin) & a wine bar in an old pharmacy ❤️
