Having a ball today at this creative health methods workshop in Maastricht, enjoying hanging out with the ethnographers and learning so much from them. Thanks to Anna Harris for organising!

I’m in Houston for the National Organization for Arts in Health conference. Doing a pre tour of Texas Medical Center, enjoyed making a mosaic but highlight is the otter art!

The second monograph slog ... apparently if you only manage to write for 1-2 days a month (file names as depressing evidence), it takes 2.5 years to get a book done, but it's finally in press with MUP! Coming soon(ish) to the SSHM book series - 'Feeling Blue: Colour and the Modern British Hospital'.

Hello from Copenhagen! Thanks to Michael Bull, Holger Schulze, Jennifer Lynn Stoever and Qiushi Xu for inviting me to contribute an entry on health to their Encyclopedia of Sound Studies, and particularly for organising this workshop which has given me the opportunity to eat many cinnamon buns.
