📣New blog Monday: check out the MMoR website today for @PariesOsei's blog on Adultification and Sexualisation of West African Girlhood in John Ogilby’s Africa (1670) bit.ly/3FKJwsZ @kingshistory

Researcher, Akosua Paries-Osei studies this collection
 ‘I research anti-fertility plants used by African women in Sloane's Vegetable substances collection. Enslaved women were valued for their ability to reproduce, restricting this capacity, directly resisted slavery’

.@TaxonomyAfrica gets a shoutout at the SPNHC TDWG conference in Okinawa Japan! #Tdwg2024

Professor Mashudu Tshifularo aus Südafrika ist der erste Chirurg auf der Welt, der erfolgreich eine Operation zur Heilung von Taubheit durchgeführt hat.

She deserves to get famous 🫡

I still can’t quite believe this happened. What does it say about our society?

@NHM_Botany @NHM_Science @drbel @mark_carine @nat_collection @ahrcpress The Sloane Lab also includes researchers here at the Museum who are using the collection to re-examine past histories. Many of the plant specimens from Jamaica in Sloane's collections were likely gathered by enslaved men and women. Find out more: nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/…

Stunning presentation by @PariesOsei on slavery, botany & the hidden voices of African women that underly so much of knowledge presented and contained in natural history museums like @NHM_London, in our afternoon #ExplorersConference panel on reimagining the environmental sector.
