Adding voices to papers…Medical History‘s second podcast is now available online
Medical History’s 2nd podcast is an engaging interview with Mark Jackson in which he discusses his paper ‘“Divine Stramonium”: The Rise and Fall of Smoking for Asthma‘.
This work has three broad themes; the history of inhalation (of Stramonium and other herbal remedies) as a drug delivery method, an alternative history of smoking which contextualises the use of smoking in the treatment of asthma and an exploration of the exchange of knowledge relating to remedies.
The interview, conducted by Grace Williams, Communications and Impact Officer, Centre for Medical History at the University of Exeter, is now available in full on two audio files .
