@pjfmullins Congratulations @pjfmullins. I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on a copy, as I’m sure many others are too.

[Mary Sheehan @Marshehan]

Pathogenesis is a great read. Looking forward to the next PANSOC & hearing him talk. Thanks for the alert Sven-Eric Mamelund

The talk will be given by Jonathan Kennedy (Queen Mary, University of London), and he will be talking about his new book Pathogenesis: How Germs Made History, was a Sunday Times Science Book of the Year and a national bestseller in the USA.

Good you’ve given it a second life

[Peter Hobbins @history2wheeler]

@Marshehan I assumed that! It was pretty gunky when I picked it up but a few hours of elbow grease paid off!

[Mary Sheehan @Marshehan]

@history2wheeler You may like to know Peter, that in an earlier life the cabinet served as a hospital bedside table.

Utterly disgusting self-promoting comment @rachelbaxendale. Be ashamed.

[Rachel Baxendale @rachelbaxendale]

The man who enabled Daniel Andrews to cite “health advice” in imposing curfews, playground bans & one of the world’s longest lockdowns has been made an Officer of the Order of Australia “for distinguished service to the people of Victoria … & to medicine” https://t.co/LRWH4rBd6S

Your comment appreciated on following statement @AndreasKoureas_ . Churchill was prepared to throw Australia to the wolves, & leave the country undefended during a Japanese invasion, all to protect the United Kingdom.

[Andreas Koureas FRAS FRSA 🇬🇧🎗️ @AndreasKoureas_]

Sir Winston Churchill is under frequent attack by political activists.

From accusations of antisemitism to engineering the Bengal Famine.

After reading through 10,000s of pages of primary sources, I'm now going to tear apart these ahistorical conspiracies.
