Never thought I'd be the type to set homework, but here I am, drunk with power and a red marker! Really enjoying delving into hieroglyphs once more @World_Museum... frying brains and transliterating inscriptions! – at Liverpool, England

I suppose there's no good way to go... but if I had a choice... – at Liverpool, England

I had a wonderful day at the Museum stores yesterday, getting up close with all the amazing objects not on display. Massive thanks to @EgyptCurator for putting up with us going slightly feral in the racking. – at Liverpool, England

Really proud to be able to help support this poignant event @MuseumLiverpool with @SaveraUK to raise awareness of, and call for an end to 'honour'-based abuse. Amazing speakers, amazing performances, really powerful. – at Liverpool, England

Really proud to help organise Liverpool's annual Trans Day of Remembrance @MuseumLiverpool to commemorate those who have been killed or taken their own lives due to transphobia. A powerful and poignant event that centres Trans and Non-Binary community voices and lived experience. – at Liverpool, England

Just accepted an unconditional offer to go back to @LivAncWorlds to start research on the spatial organisation of these amazing tombs (and others) at Qubbet el-Hawa. Excited beyond belief. Now the hard work begins! Keeping the day job, giving up sleep. – at Liverpool, England

Really enjoyed presenting for @gem_heritage at @NWFED in the wonderful @TheWorldofGlass in St Helens. Lots of interesting conversations, and on my way out, I made a feathered friend!

On my way to @NWFED Museums Conference @TheWorldofGlass in St Helens talking about research on the value of museum learning for @gem_heritage. My train's final destination is Blackpool however so there's also a distinct risk I'll miss my stop for some chips on the Pier! – at Liverpool, England

Museum Problems... when you join a hybrid meeting and the camera thinks the painted Terracotta Warrior is a new team member @World_Museum. 😂 – at Liverpool, England

Beirut, a city much like the one you might live in with smart streets, a beautiful museum, an Irish bar, and centuries of history is being shelled. I loved Beirut and all the people I met there. This news is just heartbreaking. – at Liverpool, England

I've absolutely loved teaching the Introduction to Ancient Egypt course @World_Museum! The highlight, as always, is going behind the scenes with @EgyptCurator to see the thousands of objects not on display! – at Liverpool, England

As always I had a total blast at #GEMconference24 and have, once again, made the 'cover' on one of the site visits. Rope making in Chatham, drag emmigration in Bristol, what will Leeds 2025 bring? 😂 – at Liverpool, England

Had a total blast at @gem_heritage conference 2024, especially speaking on my panel straight after visiting the @SSGreatBritain in wonderful Bristol. I am always inspired by my fellow museum educators and the theme of valuing learning gave so much scope for discussion. 😊 – at Liverpool, England

Really proud to speak today at #TUC2024 on a motion calling for more action to protect the rights of migrant workers for @pcs_union! The motion was unanimously passed. – at Brighton, England

Join me @World_Museum on Saturday at 11am where me and expert bee keeper Andrea Ku will be comparing and contrasting bee keeping from Ancient Egypt and today as well as discussing some surprising ancient uses for honey and wax. Saturday 20 July at 11am, drop in!

Does anyone fancy hearing me talk for six weeks about my favourite subject? If you last six weeks, I'll show you behind the scenes and let you touch stuff. Not a euphemism. liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/what… – at Liverpool, England

Amazing first full day in Amman, Jordan. I don't think I've been to a hillier city, but the climbs are all worth it!

What a totally unsurprising result.... Votecompass.uk

Not at all terrifying, but it is such an honour to thank the hundreds of branches and members that have shown us support during this ongoing strike. The support had been truly overwhelming.
