Hi! I’m Isabela Dornelas, a historian by training and by passion. From early on, I was drawn to the History of Science and found my niche in the History of Medicine. Currently, I’m at the Max Planck Institute in Berlin. I work with topics related to reproduction, birth, and surgery. Here on the blog, I talk about my personal experience as a researcher and share case studies.
