I highly recommend happening upon a murmuration over the coast as a very relaxing way to end a long and busy week! #Aberystwyth @wigsblog.bsky.social

Interesting 2day Cultural Dynamics project workshop at the NS Dokuzentrum in Cologne. We invited critical friends to give feedback on our draft Toolkit on Democracy in Museums, we explored the exhibitions and tried out the interactive educational game, Remote Island.

The remains from a busy day of the Northern Bridge Induction Conference! I hope that all our new PhD researchers enjoyed the 'first lines & loose words' playful poetry session as much as I did!

I spent time on Thursday thinking about what it means to cross the channel in a small boat, utterly unsuited to the task & overloaded with people, inspired by the fishing vessel Tamzine, on display at the Imperial War Museum.

Work travel is always something of an adventure... not so much for the deer that got hit by the train. @lner.co.uk train crew were excellent. Sadly, the online delay repay system refuses to believe that I was in this seat on this train, despite my seat reservation & train specific ticket.

Just back from a busman's holiday in London - managed to catch a visit to the wonderful @migrationmuseum.org in Lewisham Shopping Centre before it closes to move to its new home. Looking forward to staying in touch with colleagues there on various projects!
