Whewell’s Gazette: Year 2, Vol. #15

Whewell’s Gazette

Your weekly digest of all the best of

Internet history of science, technology and medicine

Editor in Chief: The Ghost of William Whewell

Year 2, Volume #15

Monday 26 October 2015

EDITORIAL:

We are back again with Whewell’s Gazette your weekly #histSTM links list, as always bursting at the seams with all the histories of science, technology and medicine that the Internet had to offer over the last seven days.

I’m not actually sure if anybody reads the editorials that I put up here every week. They, together with the Quotes of the Week and Birthday(s) of the Week, are here to give the whole thing more the atmosphere of a real journal rather than just a rather tedious looking list of Internet links. The editorials that I write are always spontaneous, something that has occurred to me whilst putting together those rather formidable looking links lists. Some weeks its difficult thinking of anything to write, other times they write themselves with very little effort on my part.

This weeks editorial has sadly written itself, as on Sunday the #histsci community lost one of its most prominent, colourful and loved members with the death of Lisa Jardine. I’m not even going to attempt to outline all that Lisa did over a ridiculously prolific academic career, you can read all of that in the Wikipedia article I link to below. Instead I’m going to reproduce some, but by no means all, of the heart felt comments that flooded Twitter as the sad news spread throughout our Internet community. Lisa was one of a kind both as an academic and as a human being and she will be sorely missed by many who knew her personally and even more who only knew her through her numerous publications. After the comments are some links to radio broadcasts, videos, interviews etc. where you can experience once again in her own words, as well as the obituaries from the papers and others.

I humbly dedicate this edition of Whewell’s Gazette to one of the most vibrant British historians of the last fifty years, Lisa Jardine.

Lisa Jardine (1944-2015). A giant of a public intellectual by any measure, a presence the moment you set foot in the vicinity of her fields. In research I encountered Lisa Jardine’s footprints everywhere; today I’m learning something new about her by the hour. Remarkable scholar.– Nicholas Tam

We’ve lost Lisa Jardine today. I met her only twice, but those meetings had a huge impact on me; Lisa Jardine was one of the sharpest, boldest, wittiest, and most generous scholars I’ve met. But I’ve also met Lisa Jardine through the scholars she collected around herself, at Live & Letters but also in a wider circle. They are the brightest, most generous, most badly behaved, most adventurous group of historical scholars I’ve ever seen. Meeting them has reinvigorated my scholarship, and it has done so with many, I’m sure. Tonight my thoughts are with those scholars around Lisa Jardine, in sadness, and in excited anticipation of everything they’ll create. – Sjoerd Levelt

We are heartbroken to learn of the death of our beloved and respected President, Lisa Jardine – AHS

Lisa Jardine was an inspiring and exemplary historian. And a wonderful friend. The world is a poorer place without her. Amada Foreman

Lisa Jardine “I only do the things I love and I love the things I do” – Rose Essex

Finally got the courage up to look at twitter. Lisa was the best, and I’m so so glad that she helped and influenced so many of us x I keep returning to the memory of Lisa Jardine at RSA this year, utterly gleeful at the work being presented by ECRs at CELL panels & beyond. She had such a great, infectious love for smart, thoughtful research, and such deep, instinctive care for the people who take part in it. That’s how you do it, right. You love the work, and you support the people who do it in any way you can, and you never elide the hard graft and the effort doing that kind of work takes, and the differing challenges people face. – Kirsty Rolfe

In hope she might laugh:

Lisa your critics compared to thee

Excite contempt & laughter.

No pair of heels I do believe

So many have run after – Faye Getz
