#MedAnth has entered the chat! 🙌❤️‍🩹🌍
Here's a start at a Starter Pack for #medanthro, broadly defined. Some of these folks might not call themselves medical anthropologists, but if they study health, healing systems, or human biology in context, I've included them. Let me know who else should be added to the list.

Does anyone know how familiar MAHAmaniacs are with classic works in History of Medicine and MedAnth? Do they know them pretty well, do they cite randomly, do they cite entirely non academically?

I’d love to be added to the list! (Bioanth aligned with medanth folks)

Such a great piece from @genderscilab.bsky.social folks. A must-read for folks in medicine (and a GREAT article for teaching about how human difference is historically conceived and socially constructed in bioanth and medanth).

Tons of interesting bioanth/medanth/humanbio topics that get raised in this Times piece (I say as someone who deals intermittently with a cryptic GERD-induced cough): www.nytimes.com/2023/10/04/m...

As a science writer, I’ve spent years covering the rise of allergic conditions. Why couldn’t I figure out my own?
