Here we go - starting to sketch out an exciting new paper for next week’s conference in Heidelberg on the history of fevers! Figuring out what fevers had to do with ideas about habit, the nervous system, and the emergence of evolutionary theory! @feverprojecthd.bsky.social

A reminder that this fab conference is coming up on June 4th in Cambridge, with not one but two keynotes from myself and the brilliant Sussan Babaei. I'm talking about the smells of ink, printing, and advertising: www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/45567...

I’m so excited to reveal the cover of Galileo’s Fame!
The @upittpress.bsky.social has done an amazing job with the design, showcasing a stunning seventeenth-century depiction of the goddess Fama.
I can’t wait to hold the book in my hands in just a few months.

My article on C18th/19th experiences of lightning at sea is out with Transactions.
This is the most engrossing and disconcerting topic that I've ever fallen into researching. (Sad, too.)
TRHS's editorial process was exceptionally nice and fast: highly recommended!
