In New Orleans, at #HSS2025. The 1st #eugenics panel had many friends, colleagues, & students there—& 1 grandstudent!— in the audience and behind the podium, it felt like a big fuzzy eugenic family reunion. That's a thing, right?

James D. Watson is dead. Stay tuned for some thoughts, based on my research on his biography, to be published soon.
While I write that up, y'all can throw tomatoes at this if you like. But I will offer a more nuanced take.

#historians I’ve decided to bring my archival skills into the 21st century. I know, I know… I’m still a paper kinda gal at heart! What are you all using for digitally organizing photos of archival materials—especiallysoftware that allows for adding notes? #archive #primarysource #digital

Today is publication day for The Nursing Clio Reader. As I write in the preface of the book, I started Nursing Clio back when I was a second-semester grad student as part of a final project in a public humanities seminar taught by historian Matthew Countryman at UMich. 🧵

Hi all,

I rarely do this, but I'm posting that I'm back on the academic job market.

As a Californian, my partner and I are trying to stay on the West Coast. Any leads for jobs in History, American Studies, Cultural Studies, etc. in the Western U.S. are greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Nathan

Just a few weeks ago the citizens of Tucson AZ successfully pushed their city council to unanimously deny one of these data centers in our community.

It was a local community effort that succeeded.

ALL politics is local.

Watch. Your. Locals.
Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year.

Y'all this isn't sustainable.
La. regulators approve Entergy power plants for Meta’s AI data center
Louisiana Public Service Commissioners voted four to one to approve Entergy’s three new gas plants to power Meta’s largest-ever data center.

Came home to the best gift ever - a copy of my new book, edited with @drkyliesmith.bsky.social. This book is the culmination of years of fantastic conversations with some brilliant scholars, and I'm so thrilled to finally hold it in my hands. I might be prouder of this than my actual monograph. 1/

So sad that a dear friend and colleague, Mario Biagioli, died a few days ago, far too young. I find it hard to believe: Mario seemed always so vital, so full of energy and enthusiasm, a true intellectual. A great loss
