I’m a few days late in noting this, but the 49th edition of the history of science blog carnival The Giant’s Shoulders is up at The Renaissance Mathematicus! In this edition, you can read about:

• Sports doping, Victorian style,
• The deadly dead!
• Inventions of Thomas Edison you’ve never heard of,
• and much more!

Thanks to Thony for handling this edition of the carnival!  By the way, we’re still trying to decide the future of the carnival; please read the post here.  The next edition will be held at From the Hands of Quacks on August 16th; please nominate posts by emailing the carnival hosts (me or Thony) or putting suggestions in the comments here.
