Much-needed respite and retreat in English country---one that was much too short. Glorious sun, a symphony of birds, and the treading of pheasants, squirrels, and badgers amid centuries-old churches, cottages, and calming streams...

Cannot believe this was six years ago! Serenity in the strident sea of sounds that is the metropolis called New York. Cannot wait to visit there, yet again, amidst the relentless waves of perennial sounds here and there!

Barcelona---una ciudad maravillosa where the history of science, medicine, arts, and the sense of the divine converge in such dynamic ways. Lovely time at #ESHS Conference 2024! Looking forward to coming back again! 556 conference participants at a successful #ESHS conference!

My morning saunter around Barcelona without a map or agenda! Cafe latte con leche de coco, anyone? I even saw some gargoyles in the morning! Lovely little characters!

Historians having fun...just attending a fancy dress-up Georgian Ball in Bath...Jane Austen would have been impressed by our dancing and merriment!

Basking in the glorious sun at the temple of Asclepius, the god of medicine in ancient Greek religion and mythology, and the nearby theatre, exhibit quite a salient principle of ancient Greek philosophy of medicine: drama conjoins medicine in the healing of the human person--mind, body, and soul!

A short weekend break away at Kirkstall Abbey, an 11th-century Cistercian Abbey in Leeds, UK that accommodated 75 monks! Breath-taking!

Morning birthday photo! Turning a year older today! Yet, looking ahead toward the golden, shimmering horizon amidst this rainy New England day. :)

This American, ready to move to the UK (finally!), is celebrating Christmas and her imminent birthday in good 'ol New England!

Excited for #HSS23 #HSS2023 in Portland, OR! Sun is rising in gorgeous fashion as I look for good coffee in downtown Portland, which apparently is not too difficult here.
