Really pleased to see this get some coverage before the full article later in the year. Thanks to @glasgowmedhums for supporting funding, and to @Eairdsidh84 and @PaisleyMuseum for access to manuscripts and knowledge
Great to see @moiraehansen 's GMHN Foundation Award project in the press: Who is Scotland's 'forgotten bard' and why is his death being re-examined? heraldscotland.com/news/2438… @PaisleyMuseum @UofGPE @drgavinmiller

Look what the postie just brought me! Great to finally see it physically.

Dear Student,
I don't know who you are but know that the nomination for Tutor Award was very special, entirely unexpected, and hugely appreciated.
I do it all for you and all my students.
Thank you.
A cosy chat about another creative Robert who channels disordered mood into his art.
Visit Germany, France and Scotland with host Scott Yoo as he investigates the connection between Robert Schumann’s creative genius and bipolar disorder.
Now Hear This “Schumann: Genius and Madness” premieres Friday, April 14 at 9/8c on PBS. #GreatPerformancesPBS
Look at the love and adoration in that wee face.
This is not for me.
This is for a bag of prawn crackers.

Amazingly proud to see @paedsrh finally get the academic dream job, looking forward to being back where our story began, back among so many friends.
But mainly excited about being so much closer to Janetta's ice cream.
Today I resigned from @NHSGGC in order to start a new post and new opportunity back where it all began, professionally and personally, at @dundeeuni. I'm starting there as Reader in Child Health in March, starting a brand new GI microbiome research group.
I'm very excited!
More fun today with the Whisky Festival. Nice to try some young expressions from newer distilleries. Some interesting additions to the whisky cabinet.

First F2F teaching for @OpenUniversity this morning which was a little nerve-wracking. But the #A230 students were so lovely and so engaged, I had loads of fun. A wonderful reminder of why I do what I do, and why I love it so much.
The start of a long day of planes, trains and automobiles.
Only the promise of intellectual stimulation and beavertails at the other end will keep me going.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone so far out of their depth since the last time I was in the swimming pool.

Whereas I like the plinky arpeggios 😋
An unexpectedly disconcerting and emotional listen for lots of reasons but very happy to give this space and let it settle in as a new friend among old.
Listening to @QueenWillRock Face It Alone which is the first "new" Freddie Mercury track in 8 years.
It's well worth a listen. This is still prime Freddie from the late 80s and it shows.
Not sure about the plinky arpeggios, but maybe they'll grow on me!

Did you catch Alan Cumming as Robert Burns in @NTSonline production Burn this summer?
Want to know more about Burns's mental health?
Still time to book for my free online talk this Monday for @EdinCulture to mark World Mental Health Day.
