Thank you for yesterday's conference on citizen science and heritage. The event highlighted both the potential and the challenges of collaborations between researchers and citizen scientists, while showcasing a range of past and present initiatives!

On a Belgian summer day, between rain and sunshine, I became a doctor in history and a doctor in philosophy. Doing this PhD has been an immense privilege, a journey of discovery as well as self-discovery. I'm beyond grateful for all the support I have received these last 4 years

During this partial lockdown I've visited some BE museums. N°1 The Ghent University Museum. I loved how it wasn't organised by discipline but by themes such as doubt, chaos and measuring. It highlighted the messy project of knowledge production from all of UGent's faculties [1/2]
