@cjpope.bsky.social @rosedwards.bsky.social any ideas for SocSci/MedHums crossover opportunities? Oh, and Vole, ask her if she can imagine her life without a PhD. If she can, or if she has idea about how this project could be framed as a book without the PhD scaffold, then seriously consider that.

Tomorrow in our first discussion day of Intro to Medical Humanities, we're reading @sarialtschuler.bsky.social's Conclusion to Medical Imagination. We're going to be talking about what we think "humanistic competencies" are; how we develop them; and what they bring to medicine. #MedHums

I am also very interested in answers to this Q (replies to @profgoldberg.bsky.social post indicate why). Friends in #histmed #medhums #medsoc #sts - any encounters with this book and/or professional reviews?
Historians of medicine and public health, especially ID historians -- are there any professional reviews of John Green's new book on TB?
If not, is anyone willing to share their perspectives? You're welcome to communicate with me privately if that's preferable! 🗃️ #HistSTM
