If you're in Cambridge next week, why not drop by the @pintofscience.uk festival? On Wednesday 20th at The Tivoli I'll be talking about 'Edwardian Women in Palaeontology: The Art of Graptolites', which is enough to make anyone reach for an Aperol spritz (pintofscience.co.uk/event/small-...) #pint26

I had an amazing time in Glasgow for the @thebsls.bsky.social conference! Hearing about all sorts of sciency-literary research, giving a paper on context dependency, and seeing the beautiful city of Glasgow (including a fascinating necropolis tour)!

Surely among the best paintings of a provost anywhere, the neo-Expressionist portrait of 'Patrick Lally (1926–2018), Lord Provost of the City of Glasgow (1996–1999)' by Peter Howson (c.2000). A key takeaway from the @thebsls.bsky.social conference reception at Glasgow City Chambers last week.

I’m back from Lancaster for the 20th annual @thebsls.bsky.social Conference! Thank you for the opportunity to present my paper “Don’t Laugh: Maybe a Dog?: Lessons From the Design and Pilot Study of a Survey Analysing Reader Descriptions of Poetry’s Speakers and Addressees” Snappy title, I know.
