Charles Darwin's voyage on the Beagle began #OnThisDay in 1831. The five year trek around the world shaped his ideas about the natural world; he later said that the journey was "by far the most important event in my life." #histSTM

Thanks to everyone who has picked up a copy of the book Bone Rooms so far. I'm curious, what one thing has surprised you most in the book?

[Victoria S (is not here right now) @victoriaschiu]

Currently reading @BoneRoomsBook and it’s seriously taking me back to my ba. It’s also very relevant in the current field of museum and academics where we have to deal the human remains in our collections that weren’t (probably) collected w. Permission

1918: Against the calls for quarantine, Philadelphia hosted a Liberty Loan parade on September 28. Within 72 hours of the parade, EVERY hospital bed in Philadelphia was full.

On September 29, join us in remembering the devastating effects of the 1918 flu

Brazil museum fire: ‘incalculable’ loss as 200-year-old Rio institution gutted https://t.co/isuAFguTGh

[Caroline Dodds Pennock @carolinepennock]

Devastating. The fire at the Museo Nacional de Brasil has resulted in the total loss of a collection of c.20 million items (for context, that’s more than twice the number in the British Museum) inc the oldest human skeleton in the Americas, and thousands of indigenous artefacts.

[Rafaela Ferraz @RafaelaWrites]

I'll leave you on that note. Read "Bone Rooms: From Scientific Racism to Human Prehistory in Museums" by @samueljredman, everyone. It's a challenging read (especially if, like me, your anthro background is a single Forensic Anthropology class), but super enlightening.

Happy #BookLoversDay to everyone who loves all kinds of #books but especially #nonfiction and #historybooks

#OTD in 1936, Jesse Owens won his 4th gold medal in track & field at the Olympic Games in Berlin.

Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler intended to use the Games as a demonstration of Aryan superiority. Hitler's plan was foiled as Germans celebrated Owens as a hero. #APeoplesJourney
