Happy 423 years of us! 🎉 📚
The Bodleian Libraries opened for the first time on 8 November 1602...
This means, we're older than the refracting telescope (1608), the publication of Shakespeare's Hamlet (1623) and Sir Isaac Newton's apple (1666)! 😅

What did Watson discover?
Rosalind Franklin's lab notes.
Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

i've been working on translations of two poems from the Classic of Poetry 诗经 (the oldest surviving book of chinese poetry dating back to 11th to 7th century BC). I have had to consult 6 annotated editions, and the most thorough edition has 3+ pages of annotations for every single line lol 😅

PS he's 78. Got his scholarship to Oxford a few years back in open competition against >50 other applicants. Recruited ballet dancers from around the world. Wrote a thesis that's going to improve how clinicians care for injured dancers. A privilege to work in a job where I meet people this good.
Congratulations to Snow Scholar Jeremy Leslie-Spinks passed DPhil ‘Damaged Dancers’. Thanks to examiners Sue Ziebland and Moira McCormack. Over to the Royal Oak!
