A real pleasure speaking with @theseangraham.bsky.social about the history of military R&D and medical research ethics in post-1945 Canada. More in the book, Frontier Science, but a good intro to the topic for all those interested.

“Frontier Science is a necessary and timely addition to the bookcases of those interested in histories of extreme environments, Cold War science, and modern Canada.” — Very pleased to read this encouraging and well-rounded review of my book by @farsouthhistory.bsky.social!

Excited to share that I’ll be in Ottawa and speaking @carleton.ca as part of the 2025 Shannon Lectures on Oct. 6th. My talk will focus on the history of medical research ethics in Canada during the Cold War and will draw on recent research. Details and registration: carleton.ca/history/shan...

Check out my contribution to Elena Aronova, @hallucigenia.bsky.social & Marco Tamborini's "Handbook of the Historiography of the Earth and Environmental Sciences," an essay on the "Historiography of the International Geophysical Year (1957–1958)" #histsci #envhist

Glad to see my work on this important historical episode of the Cold War sciences in Canada spotlighted here. Thanks to Isabel Campbell and everyone @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social for supporting the original research project, and to @thewalrus.ca for the platform to share this chapter excerpt.

Very exciting news! Congratulations, Tina — can’t wait to get my copy!

Thanks for sharing! I’ll take this as a reminder to read and revisit Riley’s work again for its many useful and important insights.

Thanks so much, Blair! I hope you’re well, and safe travels to Toronto!

Thanks so much, Tina! I hope all is well!

Thanks very much, David!

Endlessly thankful for this thorough and thoughtful engagement with my work! Thank you so much @farsouthhistory.bsky.social for reading and reviewing Frontier Science — your insights and reflections on polar science, the Cold War, and historical knowledge describe the book in so many new ways!

Absolutely thrilled and incredibly honoured to see my book nominated among such an amazing group of peers! This list is a testament to the geographic and thematic breadth of current scholarship in Canadian History, and we all are fortunate for the work and commitment of the entire community! WOW!

This looks promising! Wonderful to see reference to 'the indispensable tools of critical historical analysis'! And to 'health equity' and the deficiencies of Eurocentrism. Such a contrast to south of the border!

Thanks very much for reading my book @farsouthhistory.bsky.social! I hope you enjoy it! I’m reading “Her Space, Her Time” by Shohini Ghose, who recounts the contributions of many trailblazing women scientists in physics and astronomy. www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/697266...
