The Easter weekend begins with a trip to the Discovery Museum @northeastmuseums.bsky.social to check out their new under 5s area. But my daughter preferred the industrial heritage - naturally.

A great catch up at GNM Hancock to discuss an upcoming collaborative project on environmental history generously funded by @bshsnews.bsky.social. So much of academia is feeling really bleak right now so trying to enjoy the better moments.

In the archives and it feels so goooood. Exploring the health trade union archives @mrcwarwick.bsky.social this last week - searching for elusive might shift experiences and finding plenty of other insights along the way.

Since I have so many new followers - you might be interested to read this gorgeous comic about chronobiology that I made with Sofie Louise Dam during my time at University of Copenhagen. An adventure through time and science available open access! cbmr.ku.dk/outreach/chr...

A fleeting visit to the Wellcome library for some last minute pre-semester research on shift work and circadian rhythms. Hopefully will be making its way into a lecture at some point!

In other news - I think I have finally had enough of the Other Place and I am going to try and give this one a concerted effort. So here's a picture of my new home in Cullercoats. It is splendid.

Scoping trip to Beamish museum for my new course on histories of sleep. A great venue for getting students to think about space, class and gender in relation to sleeping arrangements.
