Very proud of my PhD student, @isobelgrimley.bsky.social for her successful @pintofscience.uk talk on medieval childhood frailty at Bradford's Theatre in the Mill last week. 👏 @bradarch.bsky.social @uniofbradford.bsky.social @bradford2025.co.uk

From the 12th century, the monks of Birkenhead Priory would ferry passengers across the River Mersey. I wonder what they’d think of this mighty sea vessel docked alongside the Priory today 🛳️ 😮 #wirral #medieval #monastic

My students were doing so well in today’s Osteology lab that I decided not to inflict scary rubber mouth on them. 👄 🤣

Saw this fantastic exhibition at @victoriagallery.bsky.social today. The beautiful imagery conveys reimagined narratives of stereotypes and persecution of women from mythology. 👉 www.mythopoeia.co.uk #greekmythology #celticmythology #norsemythology #digitalart #photography
