(Very) brief trip to campus today. Great to see Uni again rather than the inside of an NHS A&E corridor. Brief chats with fellow PhDers - I’ve missed it! 😐 Back soon hopefully 💪

Day 2 went really well as did my talk: “From Leeches to Lancets: The Enduring Legacy of Bloodletting from Antiquity to the Nineteenth Century”. Everybody was very engaged and I had some really great questions which led to a really interesting discussion. #histmed

And now I’ve discovered that there’s a forthcoming film of the wily one himself…I think I’ve been living too much in the 18th & 19th centuries lately and neglecting my ancient roots! 🏛️ #PhDchat #PhDsky #AncientBluesky #ClassicsBluesky
