I’m pleased to have educated 3,000 medical students. Several of them established #RushMedicalCollege (Chicago) in honor of my death? #wow

My thoughts on religion? Well I advocated #Christianity in public life and in education and compare myself to the prophet Jeremiah. 🙏🏼

I should visit my hometown #ByberryPhiladelphia . It was known to have such a strong abolitionist presence.

I’m glad that I supported the #American #Enlightenment which was a period of intellectual ferment in the thirteen American #colonies . #leader

It just felt like last week where I was granted to work at the #CollegeofPhiladelphia , thereby making me the first American chemistry professor. 👨‍🏫 😱

It’s nice to know that my method of #bloodletting is still used today !

Appreciation post for @BenF_APUSH2018 who persuaded me to take a trip to France in early 1769, (which he partially financed ) + gave me the opportunity to meet French physicians, scientists, and literati.

It’s been so long since I attended the #ContinentalCongress and signed the Declaration of Independence .
