Particularly enjoyed hearing about Layers of London with @justincolson.bsky.social, where GIS has been used to amplify diverse voices and put them on the map!

A super interesting workshop @rgsibg.bsky.social today, exploring GIS and archives. And a tour of the collection, which was a real treat! Just need to magic up some time to see what we can do with our archives and GIS ✨

Very excited to find the Water Newton silver in the BM. I grew up in Water Newton - if I’d seen The Detectorists back then, there’d have been no keeping me off those fields!

An absolute pleasure to talk at #ARA2024 yesterday, with Judy and Lucy, about our Places, Plants and People Archive Network. Super proud of our network and what we’ve achieved! (And yes, Lucy and I accidentally wore matching dresses!)

I’m very excited about this fully FUNDED PhD, which I’ll be supervising along with UCL colleagues. Archives, critical history, Kew, environmentalism, communities – I’d be tempted! tinyurl.com/5n8x38k5

Amazing opportunity to do a funded PhD, on Kew's records of plant exchanges -a little known, wonderful series! Come & explore it with the support of a great team from Southampton & Exeter Universities, & Kew Gardens!
