Congratulations to the distinguished historian of medicine Nancy Siraisi, who is one of 25 MacArthur Fellows this year. Her work combines careful scholarship with vivid stories about the world of medieval and Renaissance medicine. This award is also a great reflection on our field; historians of science/technology/medicine can stand among the best scholars and thinkers of the day. Hurray for Nancy!

I myself was in heavy contention for a MacArthur “Not as Dumb as He Looks” award.
