A fascinating bit of #hismed trivia for #wyrdwednesday! 'Pestilence' wasn't popularly recognised as the 4th Horseman of the apocalypse until the late 19th century.

Earlier, they were usually identified as: Death, Famine, (Civil) War, & Conquest. (As in this 1887 painting by Viktor Vasnetsov)
'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse' painted in 1887 by Viktor Vasnetsov. The 4 figures are Death, Famine, War, and Conquest.

I feel the same every time someone tells me to bundle up so I won't catch a cold. Sure, germ theory has been around for 150+ years. But the environmental theories that came before haven't entirely lost their grip. #HisSci #HisMed

every time one of those "look how evil ages you" posts goes viral you get a reminder that much of us have heuristics for navigating the world that aren't much different from that of a middle ages peasant

Reconsidering the origins of model psychosis! Might intoxication represent an orienting concept in the history of madness more generally, making 'model psychosis' a founding model in mental pathology? #philmed #hismed #hispsy #hissci

As well as some regions of the country (NE, NW, Northern Ireland) being under-represented, some 'boring but important' (my words, not the survey's) subject areas such as business, law and insurance are also missing. www.wsro.org.uk/special-proj... #hismed #hisAIDS #histHIV #archives 📜
