NEW POST: Salt and Spices, Smoke and Wood

A series of stories relating to jerk cooking, from origins in slavery-era Jamaica, to the Windrush generation in London. It's also a story of when communities connect, even in most desperate of times.

It's that time of year again! Today I look at the history of so-called "Medically Unexplained Symptoms" with my students (part of our #pseudoscience class).

Migraines? Rooted in "perfectionism"
Ulcers? "stress"
AIDS? "shame/guilt"
MS? "childhood trauma"

Tropes now recycled for #MECFS & #LongCovid
