Hey historians of medicine!
Applications are open, due Sept 30 2025, for the 2026 DeBakey Fellows in the History of Medicine, through the US National Library of Medicine.
I was a previous DeBakey Fellow and it was a great opportunity to work in an amazing library.

Now that I’ve lured in new followers with cat pictures, it’s time for a lesson on medicine and magic in #medieval #manuscripts!
Shown are 2 pages from a 12th c. manuscript, now Cambridge, Trinity College, MS B.15.36, which includes St. Bernard's "De Consideratione" and a history of Ireland.
