I really enjoyed talking about Ghosts Behind Glass on Thursday in Stockholm. Was great fun to bring their own natural history museum’s display into conversation with the book.
I’m looking forward to doing this at more venues. Some bookings already for Feb in UK. I’d welcome more invites to do so!

Reminds me that it is time to put out the bird seed in the garden!
Frog took the box outside. He shouted in a loud voice, “HEY, BIRDS! HERE ARE COOKIES!”
Birds came from everywhere. They picked up all the cookies in their beaks and flew away.

Sigtuna has some really nice medieval monuments including standing rune stones and church ruins.
According to this rune stone, one guy named Anund was pretty full of himself: “Anund had the stone erected in memory of himself in his lifetime.”

Compulsory team teaching on every module is perhaps the biggest ever threat to the quality of teaching in UK universities.
It causes chaos on the ground for timetabling, ruins course coherence and turns lecturers into permanent supply teachers. It is pedagogically incoherent… 1/
