Good day to you, my assiduous reading friend. Are you ready to drink from the fount of knowledge otherwise known as our blog / bulletin / thingee? Good for you.

Jul 7, 2022
In the 1800s, major breakthroughs in medical technology and the understanding of disease led to the development of vaccines for some of humanity’s most deadly illnesses: smallpox, rabies, diphtheria, and tetanus. In China and many African countries, the traditional practice of smallpox inoculation informed the work of Edward Jenner, Louis Pasteur and others, as they experimented with weakened and less deadly viruses to trick the body into producing immunity. You may have heard of Jenner and

Few things say ‘doctor’ more than a stethoscope. Even in the modern medical field, which can be regarded as highly vision-based (imaging, scanning, observing), the stethoscope remains a powerful medical tool and an iconic symbol of past traditions. Above all, the stethoscope represents a deep and enduring relationship between medical practice and sound. During my time as a practicum student for Ingenium, I worked on developing a research profile of the museum’s stethoscope collection, focusing

Ave amice, scribiti te salutant. Knowing how much you like science, technology, innovation, piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, yours truly would like to bring a pill to your attention. Not just any pill, mind you. Nay. A high tech pill. A radio pill. Oooooh. Shiny. Until it came out, that is. Sorry, sorry.

“Excuse me, sir”, I asked, trying to get the attention of the staff member at the Maharashtra State Archives, a public archive located in the heart of South Bombay. I had just spent several moments pacing up and down the dark corridors stacked with piles and piles of cloth-bound files and was making no headway in my search.
