I am slowly working on a born multimedia project about American union and the Articles of Confederation. I’m best known for my public-facing # history podcast, Ben Franklin’s World.

Dr Lindsey FitzharrisHeart-shaped pendant with a lock of hair from Marie Antoinette. If this is her hair, it must have been presented before the abortive flight to Varennes in 1791, when Marie's hair allegedly went white overnight.
Is it possible for a person’s hair to go white overnight? Researchers found that hormones produced in response to stress can deplete the melanocyte stem cells that determine hair color. But there’s no scientific evidence that this can happen within hours due to trauma. #histodons
