Thomas De Quincey, author of “Confessions of an English Opium-Eater,” took opium for stomach pains and found it enhanced creativity, giving him fantastical visionary dreams. These became nightmares, unbearable terrors perpetually disrupting his sleep. https://t.co/6sInPYnb35 .

It was once common for forensic pathology (before it was called that) to be published in the same periodicals as surgery and clinical medicine. Today we have sequestered ourselves out of the conversation. It’s sad.

In 1826, John James Audubon’s career was in ruins—until he hatched a desperate plan, involving a rare eagle. When the gamble paid off, it made Audubon the most famous ornithologist in history. New episode below!

“Climate change is real - the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities is resulting in fundamental changes to our planet. It is increasing the risk of extreme weather, warming the ocean and causing ice caps to melt resulting in sea level rise, and threatening ecosystems, lives and livelihoods across the world.”
