It's brilliant to have helped put some history on the walls in Medicine, with these panels showcasing a selection of 19thC and 20thC alumni - including the first women, and the first students of Indian and African heritage. Congratulations to @manoncwilliams.bsky.social @standrewshist.bsky.social
I was thrilled to travel to Scotland this week to open an installation I’ve been working on for the School of Medicine @uniofstandrews.bsky.social. The installation showcases diverse alumni from St Andrews’ past to inspire incoming students to the #MBChB. #histmed #medsky #medhums #skystorians

Any early-modern Scottish #skystorians? re monarchs and popes: BBC says 'first British', Guardian says 'first reigning English' monarch to pray with the Pope ('in the last 500 years', 'since the Reformation' or 'since 1534'). Does the distinction matter? Did James V or MaryQS pray with the Pope?
