My review of Jole Shackelford’s history of chronobiology is available on H-Environment.

After almost three years of hard work, our science comic Tales from the Chronobiology Lab is available open access via the NFF Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR). Developed and created with illustrator and storyteller Sofie Louise Dam and scientists from CBMR, the comic takes the reader behind the scenes in a scientific laboratory where we follow the unassuming night owl Amy in her research into circadian rhythms - the science of our body clock.

In my final blog for Medical Museion, I reflect on my experience as a historian working in a highly interdisciplinary environment, carrying out academic research as well as delivering public engagement projects like art commissions, comics and exhibitions.

I have recently been appointed Lecturer in Environmental History at Newcastle University, and will take up this exciting post in late spring 2024.

I am delighted to share a new coauthored publication about curating complexity in art, science and medicine, now available open access in the journal STS Encounters.

Just published: my latest paper ‘Z-Time - Making and feeling time in the chronobiological laboratory’ has been published ahead of print with Time & Society. A departure from my usual historical work, this paper uses the tools of STS and temporality studies to think about the way different forms of time are made and experienced by chronobiologists as they study circadian rhythms in the lab.

I am delighted that my newest publication ‘Timeless spaces: Field experiments in the physiological study of circadian rhythms, 1938–1963’ is now available open access from History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences. This article has developed out of a research visit to the Hana Holborn Gray Special Collections Library at the University of Chicago in 2021 and was presented as a paper at the European Society for the History of Science conference in September 2021.

I’m delighted to share my latest peer-reviewed publication titled ‘Rhythmic history’: Toward a new research agenda in the history of health and medicine, which is available Open Access from Endeavour.

The Medical Museion is proud to share a new open access publication about making interdisciplinary exhibitions based on The World is in You.

I am delighted to share that my second book on the history of circadian rhythms is under contract with Polity Press.

New project on the history of circadian rhythms in the 19th century Arctic coming in 2023!

Two new reviews have recently been published for Imperial Bodies in London.

I was delighted to provide a review of the volume ‘Exploring Emotion, Care, and Enthusiasm in ‘Unloved’ Collections’, edited by Anna Woodham, Alison Hess and Rhianedd Smith for Volume 9 of the journal Museum Worlds.

How early is too early to wake up? How much sleep do we really need? And can an extra hour of evening sun cure consumption? This research article for the Social History of Medicine re-interrogates the history of daylight saving time in light of public health and early twentieth century anxieties around the limits of workers’ rhythmic bodies.

A research article for the Bulletin of the History of Medicine exploring how the gut was seen as both a cause of and a potential cure for insomnia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

An original research article co-authored by Martha Biggins to be published in the Science Museum Group Journal in spring 2021.
