Internal memo from the pharmaceutical manufacturer Upjohn & Company (1962), brainstorming ideas about how to improve company relationship with the FDA

Among my favorite ideas:

-"understand the law"
- "spy"
- "tell the truth"
- "extorition and blackmail"
- "smile more"

I’m at the British Textile Biennial, with exhibits and events in Burnley, Accrington, Blackburn etc.

Theme this time is invention and innovation, so plenty of #histsci and #histech among the new fibres and Lancashire looms.

Some of the things I’ve seen…

When you request an archival record on #EarlyModern armormaking, expecting the usual: pages & pages of (illegible) text, but on its opening pages find: depictions of the assemblage of armor and several individual screws 🔩 ❤️ It's good a day.

Day two on Blue sky, I should define my interests a little: #histsci #histech, history of geology, geophysics, meteorology, aeronomy, near space, astronomy. I'm interested, in short, in the long term implications of Copernicus

My article about wapiti and red deer in 20th cent New Zealand is out with @animalhistory.bsky.social ! 🦌🚁🏔️
It’s a wild story about colonial animals + technology, trophies + pests, the venison + velvet industry, and hybridity

Crank-starting a car was a dangerous task, sometimes resulting in death. Charles Kettering's invention of the electric self-starter in Dayton saved lives, but this was offset by his involvement in creating leaded gas and Freon. www.markstrecker.com/invention-of... #histsci #histech #history
