Today, I am reminded of Judith Butler’s words in their letter on Executive Order 14168 @lrb.co.uk: ‘powers who promise to strip rights from the most vulnerable people in the name of saving the nation, the natural order, the family, society or civilisation itself’. A dark day for the UK.

Really excited to share this amazing news and very much looking forward to starting the project @uclhistory.bsky.social @wellcometrust.bsky.social. Read more about it on the @bemccollective.bsky.social blog and watch this space!!

Huge congratulations Holly, so well deserved and such am exciting project!

Ich hatte zwei tolles Tage auf der Konferenz ‘Alchemisches Wissen & praktisches Laborien’ in der Franckeschen Stiftungen. Das Zusammentreffen von Kolleg/innen, die sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten der Alchemie befassen, zeigte das Fruchtbarkeit der Zusammenarbeit. (weiteres Highlight = Wunderkammer!)

What was up with Neptune 400 years ago? @frederickcrofts.bsky.social and I have been trying to find out: we had a great research stay @zikg.eu! While we cross our fingers for the article (under review), you can find out more about the project, and the small exhibition we co-curated, here:

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all?

Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.

Taking the occassion of seeing some wonderful Rottenhammer’s in the alte Pinakothek to bring my first article over here with me: ‘‘Very Full of Details and Excellently Executed’: Materiality and Medicine in Hans Rottenhammer’s Painted Bodies’ academic.oup.com/gh/article/4...

Snapshots from the Alte Pinakothek’s Rachel Ruysch exhibition — up close, the technical precision and inclusion of specimens that created amazing depth in Ruysch’s work was tangible. Brilliantly contextualised, engaging with the work of her father, sister Anna, and sottobosco’s of Van Schriek.

This heavy 1652 folio Seneca volume has been repurposed as a makeshift herbarium, with the name of the flower noted in the margin. Dozens of flowers have been preserved, throughout the volume. In other cases, only the name of the plant remains. Here we have a plant sample of "Echinospermum lappula".
