Dear followers, be sure to retweet this with abandon - you could win the @conscicom book!
Since the fantastic #HistSciFest organized by @BSHSNews is happening digitally, and we can’t show off our new @conscicom book in person, I will give an ebook copy to one randomly chosen person from among those who retweet this message before 16 July 2020.

Informative thread about botanist & mycologist Mordecai Cubitt Cooke — the recent subject of #MycoBookClub.
"Hardwicke's Science-Gossip" was one of the periodicals included in our #ScienceGossip @the_zooniverse project with @conscicom ➡️ sciencegossip.org/

Thanks Matt. That's a great image of plant-insect interaction too! I take the opportunity to advertise Matt's work on 19th century #enthist which can be found in this great @conscicom volume on periodicals: press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books… which was just published @UChicagoPress
We haven't taken this ourselves but this #free #online @edXOnline course looks like it might suit some #ConSciCom followers?
Any other suggestions @sydneypadua?

If you're near the @royalsociety visit the 'Fiery Earth: the volcano and the Royal Society' exhibition in the #library - a collaboration between @conscicom & the RS 🌋
Why #Krakatoa? Observing it was one of the first worldwide #CitizenScience initiatives!
The #exhibition features the @royalsociety committee report, a letter from a citizen scientist (Miss Allen of Zanzibar) and much more!
