Joseph Lex, a retired Professor of Emergency Medicine, serves as a Master Guide for the Friends of Laurel Hill, where he translates archival research into educational media. He hosts the podcast series All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories, which documents the lives of permanent residents in Philadelphia’s historic cemeteries, ranging from industrial titans to forgotten medical pioneers. Lex frequently leads specialized in-person experiences, such as the Ashes to Ashes walking tour, and conducts digital sessions like the May the First April Fools virtual event. His work focuses on unearthing hidden figures in women’s history and the history of science, often collaborating with institutions like Fort Mifflin for public history symposia. A recent milestone in his literary career is the publication of his book, All Bones Considered: 52 Laurel Hill Women, which adapts his audio scripts into a biographical collection. His storytelling bridges the gap between scholarly research and public interest in Philadelphia’s civic development.
