The first scientific double-blind study was performed in the 18th century to determine the therapeutic effects of animal magnetism. It involved magnetizing trees. How do you magnetize trees and what did the study find? https://t.co/DAzcy9ApE6

Excellent choice!

@PhysInHistory Can't tell if one of those illustrations is of Johannes Gutenberg whose invention of the printing press increased literacy, enabled the printing of books, and the rapid spread of information, including scientific information.

Cândido Rondon leaves behind an important legacy, not only as a scientist and naturalist, but as a pacifist, explains author Larry Rohter. We explore how his dedication to working with and respecting indigenous groups is inspiring modern-day partnerships. https://t.co/f4TzdL6RBZ

Did you see this @PeaseRoland ? 😆

Amazing anecdote from David Mamet about Tom Stoppard in @TheFP:

"Steven Spielberg asked Tom to write the screenplay for Jaws, and Tom said he couldn’t as he was writing a play for the BBC. Spielberg said, 'I'm offering you a fortune to collaborate with me on a Hollywood blockbuster, and you turn me down to write a play for BBC TV?"

"No," Tom said, "BBC Radio."

As always, what a treat it was to sit down and chat with the inimitable @mary_roach A guaranteed outer - and inner - body experience!

[Big Picture Science @BiPiSci]

Keep your eyes and ears out for the upcoming conversation @mollycbentley had with @mary_roach about Replaceable You. From frog skin grafts to pig-grown human organs to a surgery that lends new meaning to "giving the middle finger," Mary goes where few reporters dare!

I interviewed @KevinJTraceyMD in May on @BiPiSci when he was hopeful about the FDA approval. Here is our conversation about how the vagus nerve stimulation works (also, congratulations to Dr. Tracey's team!)

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Controlling the immune system and inflammation through stimulating the vagus nerve. FDA approval of an implant for refractory rheumatoid arthritis that is also being studied for various autoimmune diseases.
Front page @nytimes great work by @KevinJTraceyMD @SetPointMed https://t.co/HpFoh7jZq1

One of my favorite episodes to report and produce took me to Connecticut for a weekend visit to beaver ponds and dams near the home of journalist @theleilaphilip author of Beaverland. Fell in love with this weird and wonderful rodents!

[Big Picture Science @BiPiSci]

The fur trade nearly wiped out 400 million beaver in North America. Now the animal once valued only for its pelts, or considered a pest, is being brought back to repair our damaged river systems. https://t.co/QWujPBIV9N

I was honored to speak with the women I met at the @NatHurricaneCon who provide community support and emergency management in the Virgin Islands. They shared this photo of damage from Hurricane Irma.

[Big Picture Science @BiPiSci]

Emergency management teams from the Virgin Islands describe the one-two-punch of Irma and Maria, two Category 5 hurricanes that hit within just two weeks of each other in 2017, shredding roofs and downing power lines. https://t.co/fU1d9py0v1

[Molly Bentley @mollycbentley]

Our first episode in a series tied to the 20th anniversary of Katrina includes interviews we collected at the @NatHurricaneCon in New Orleans.

[Big Picture Science @BiPiSci]

As we head into a hurricane season twenty years after Hurricane Katrina, we ask what have we learned since about how climate change is reshaping hurricanes and how NOAA funding cuts could affect our preparedness. On this week’s episode: https://t.co/fU1d9py0v1

[Molly Bentley @mollycbentley]

@KevinJTraceyMD @BiPiSci And with great restraint I resisted making the "what happens in the vagus nerve doesn't stay in the vagus nerve" joke (only because I made it last time we spoke)

@Rich_hearst Sure - I'm not on this platform much and have thus lapsed in my etiquette!
