As it appears in the SBL/AAR program book, my academic affiliation is now, apparently, the 'University *or* Edinburgh'; I promise you this wasn't my fault. I thought I had flagged this before the publication of the book, but looks like my SBL '25 will be forever associated with a typo.

The San Francisco Giants beat the division-leading Dodgers 5-1 on Patrick Bailey’s grand slam in the 10th inning — and the team is now just a half game behind the Mets for a wild-card spot.

Every year I have the opportunity to be the official photographer for the Tom Robb Memorial Trail Race in Carron Valley. It’s an amazing event that raises funds for Alzheimer Scotland and Ochils Mountain Rescue. It's always a fun, life-affirming day out and it's a privilege to take part. 1/

In today's Seminar session at #SNTS2025, Helen Bond presented on the historical Mary of Nazareth. a perfect fit to my research. It was a wonderful, insightful paper. I can't wait for the book that she will eventually publish on the topic! Also, Helen Bond rocks, but we knew that before of course.

More excited than I should be to have received an image of an inscription I’ve been writing on, sent by the Head of Prehistoric & Classical Antiquities & Museums. Also glad the Ephorate of Antiquities of Kilkis granted permission to use it in my #SBLAAR25 presentation! @sblsite.bsky.social
