In 1585 Katherine Doylye [!] had a dedicated 'cheese chamber' in her home stocked with a full complement of cheese making equipment and 80 cheeses worth £2 13s 4d. 📜🧀

Oh it was fab! And we had Prof David Olusoga (one of the top ten humans, in my eyes) give the speech beforehand 🤩

And that’s a wrap! Doing a PhD with @markhailwood.bsky.social and Prof. Jane Whittle (with Dr. Tyler Rainford, left, as my PhD brother) was the absolute best. I may not be in academia, but you can bet I’ll still be infiltrating @drinkingstudies.bsky.social anyway 😂❤️

At no point in this study did I use AI. This includes the literature review, logical organization, writing, analysis, and proofreading. I do not cite any studies that use AI, to the extent that it is possible to know.

Yesterday I used this "AI -Free Statement" in a conference talk for the first time. Still trying to figure out the exact language.

Feel free to borrow, modify, etc.

In many histories of early modern printing houses, women play a secondary role. Heleen Wyffels questions this narrative and asks instead: what happens when we read the stories that printers themselves told about their family businesses?

The first 'Think While You Drink' by @goodchemistry.bsky.social & @drinkingstudies.bsky.social with @braciatrix.bsky.social & @amyjbburnett.bsky.social in conversation about women's brewing & beer drinking in Ireland was just brilliant. Thanks to the everyone who came on a hot evening to enjoy it.
