"During World War Two, conscientious objectors in the US and the UK were asked to volunteer for medical research. In one project in the US, young men were starved for six months to help experts decide how to treat victims of mass starvation"
"The regime was tough - during the six months they were being starved, the men were expected to walk or run 22 miles (36 kilometres) every week, expending over 1,000 calories more than they consumed each day."

On Saturday we concluded our 3-day conference focusing on preindustrial public health in South Asia. It was a fantastic opportunity to explore and propose what we hope will be a worthwhile line of (comparative) research for the subcontinent and beyond. Recordings to come.

"Louis Dartigues soulignait les évolutions du public venu assister à la leçon inaugurale de Noël Fiessinger en 1931 :
« Ce public a tout de même changé depuis l’époque du début de nos études, changé d’aspect : rasé, plus propre, moins agité et plus-hétéroclite, plus international, car il y a là des jeunes hommes de toutes les parties du monde….. et aussi des femmes en nombre appréciable, qu’on ne voyait pas de notre temps : un jour viendra où ce sera peut-être une assemblée des femmes comme au temps d’Aristophane et où l’ovaire dominera le testicule, mais peu importe, si le cerveau total conserve sa valeur ! »"

"Beaumont continued to experiment on St-Martin off and on until 1833, performing an estimated 200 experiments over a period of 10 years.
St-Martin allowed the experiments to be conducted, not as an act to repay Beaumont for keeping him alive but rather because Beaumont had the illiterate St-Martin sign a contract to work as a servant."

J'aime bien les enluminures de naissances de saints. Sauf cas extrêmement rare, elles n'ont *aucun* intérêt narratif pour le lectorat de l'époque et n'apportent rien au récit qui dit que Bidule est né, a été baptisé etc.
MAIS ce sont des ressources merveilleuses pour connaître les pratiques quotidiennes autour de la parturition et des soins aux nouveaux-nés.
