With huge regret, @TheJohnRylands and @UoMLibrary buildings close at 5pm today until further notice. But so much to see online. Stay safe.
Replying to @OfficialUoM
Our libraries, @McrMuseum @WhitworthArt @jodrellbank as well as most of our teaching and research buildings, will be closed to physical access. Certain essential services and facilities and halls of residence will remain open

Get up close to ancient manuscripts and occult books that reveal the fascinating history of medicine. Our new exhibition, 'Seeing the Invisible' uncovers the lost culture of Syriac Christians in the Middle East. One day to go until it opens! #jrlInvisible man.ac.uk/7Pgixk

NOW OPEN: Our new Rylands Gallery exhibition explores microscopy in 19th and 20th century medicine. Discover fascinating objects and images, like this photograph of @OfficialUoM students in the old Manchester Medical School, taken in 1905. @ManMedMuseum man.ac.uk/OvNM93

A less scary image of our collections encounter led by @BeccaKWhiteley and @ManMedProject @UoMLibrary @TheJohnRylands #trustinchildbirth

A frankly terrifying pic of the @TheJohnRylands Shreeve Fellow @BeccaKWhiteley getting ready to deliver the #Trustinchildbirth #19thC collections encounter (and anyone else that requires delivering!) @UoMhistdept @UoMSALC @law_uom

So brilliant to see facsimiles of George Spratt’s ‘Obstetric Tables’ flap book published in 1833 to accompany @BeccaKWhiteley’s fascinating talk #bornyesterday

Author's Preface (read, I imagine, with quite a bit of stomachic sass): "I consider I hold a superior position to my helpmate Mr. Brain; for while I reside in the drawing-room floor, he lives in the attics." 🧠🍽️👄
'Memoirs of Stomach' (1854), a hugely popular "it-narrative" from the perspective of an amiable digestive organ plagued with gluttony: "My personal appearance, I must acknowledge, is not prepossessing, as I resemble a Scotch bagpipe in form" 🍩🍨🍗 #histmed
