My heartfelt thanks to the CSECS for inviting me to present at their annual conference. I particularly enjoyed sharing this description of an animalcule with a 'motion extremely swift like a jack of the lantern.' Very fitting for the spooky season! 🎃 🦠

I had a great time at the Feathers conference listening to some fascinating papers on early modern scribal culture and exploring a beautiful city. 🖋️

Thank you to @misswalsingham.bsky.social and the Feathers team for organising the conference and for inviting me to speak!
