The future of medical history — the swansong conference of the Wellcome Centre for the History of Medicine
The Wellcome Centre for the History of Medicne at UCL has circulated an announcement for a conference which “represents our swansong and statement of what we would have liked to have been allowed to achieve in the history of medicine”. Appropriately titled ‘The Future of Medical History’, the conference will take place on 15-17 July 2010 at Goodenough College in London. Send an abstract and contact details to Lauren Cracknell (l.cracknell@ucl.ac.uk) by 1 June 2010. “Due to current circumstances”, the
Centre will not be able to cover the cost of travel or accommodation. Look for further details on the Centre’s website soonish.

The future of Medical History is going to be perfectly fine without the Centre. We don’t need a bunch of egomaniacs in London acting like they are demi-gods of our discipline. Come on, its not a blow to the history of medicine. Its not even a bruise or a scrape. ‘Swansong’, seriously? Get a grip on reality. Your not that important…that is why your being shut down.
If you’re going to criticize standards of knowledge, it’s good to use spellcheck first.
