I conned persuaded the nice scientists at Tangled Bank to include my post on dream anatomy. I should write more history of science/medicine here; it’s been a side interest of mine for some time, which I never seem to do much about. Especially now I have those splendid links to the Wellcome Trust and National Library of Medicine image archives.
Anyway, go and visit Tangled Bank #18.
It includes great pieces on the maps in your brain; fish gills and pharyngeal arches; a doctor’s failure to practise safe Christmas decorations; and more that I haven’t had time to look at yet.
