The day job got me thinking about the history of prisons, especially during the Great War. So I thought I’d do some secondary reading
(which also means I’m putting off finishing my 2 upcoming papers)

A quick search throws up a few bits and pieces on prisons and prisoners during the First World War, but not much, if anyone has any suggestions I’d be grateful.

has anyone done a #histmed or #histSTM study of changes to representations of health/medicine/science in the ladybird books?
On a small scale feels like an amazing ug diss project, or even something smaller than that with just a few books.

In remembrance on the anniversary of the atomic bombing 80 years ago, a picture of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and Park, which I visited in 2013. A very sobering experience indeed, but there is a marvellous upbeat atmosphere in the surrounding city. Friendliness everywhere.

This is *definitely* worth reading. New article in Medical History, 'Defective data: statistics, disability, and eugenic sterilisation in interwar Britain' (downloadable OA version via the link 👇).

There are a few findings in this article that I think will be of broad interest. First, it shows that eugenic sterilisation did happen in 1930s Britain, despite the failure of the eugenics society to secure legislation for it.
