The Great Plague Scare of 1720
Lucky Valley
S uman S eth . Difference and Disease
The question of how white physicians in the colonial West Indies thought about race lies at the heart of Tim Lockley’s new book on the nineteenth-century West India Regiments (WIRs), and undergirds Suman Seth’s study of eighteenth-century medical debates. Seth argues that heated disagreements (one even involving a dual to the death) over colonial medicine, medical authority, and the role of geography played an important part in the development of…
The Development of a Sustainable Bioinformatics Training Environment Within the H3Africa Bioinformatics Network (H3ABioNet)
Bioinformatics training programs have been developed independently around the world based on the perceived needs of the local and global academic communities. The field of bioinformatics is complicated by the need to train audiences from diverse backgrounds in a variety of topics to various levels of competencies. While there have been several attempts to develop standardised approaches to provide bioinformatics training globally, the challenges …
Endangered Plantations
Intent on preserving their plantations, eighteenth-century British slaveholders created a rhetoric that naturalized African labor in the Caribbean. Examining this history demonstrates the ways in which slavery and the environment are deeply entwined. In the late eighteenth century, West Indian planters began to fear for the long-term future of their plantations on two fronts.

While much of the existing scholarship emphasizes the unhealthy natu…
The Influence of Black Race on Treatment and Mortality for Early-Stage Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND: Black Americans have higher mortality from breast cancer than white Americans. This study explores the influence of socioeconomic factors and black race on treatment and mortality for early-stage breast cancer. METHODS: A cohort of 21,848 female black and white, non-Hispanic subjects from the Massachusetts Cancer Registry diagnosed with stage I or II breast cancer between 1999-2004 was studied. Subjects with tumors larger than 5 cm we…
