Just reading Highland Folk Ways by Isabel Grant, which I bought at the Highland Folk Museum which she founded in 1935. What a joy to read.

Writing a review of social science and humanities research on #foodallergy and really heartened to see my work on the history of allergy (and the work of Mark Jackson, @greggmitman & others) not only cited but also understood by social scientists. https://t.co/iNEDAVKteN

Yaakov has written a compelling book here. Not everyone will agree with his argument (which is a little more nuanced than the title suggests), but I think he makes some important points. ADHD is Not an Illness and Ritalin is Not a Cure https://t.co/C9HWDyRtNS
