“REF-derived income should not be seen just as a retrospective reward for an HEI’s past support of research, but rather as the nation’s forward-looking investment in the discoveries of tomorrow.” Absolutely this. The 2021 rules must be reinstated, especially in the current climate of redundancies.

Listen up, Humanities academics and wannabe academics: GLAM IS NOT A VIABLE PLAN B. Jobs in the GLAM sector require specialised training, the sector is just as competitive as academia, and you can’t just waltz into a job because you have a vaguely related research agenda and no other experience.

For a late #FrescoFriday, superb paintings from #Herculaneum depicting a ceremony at the temple of Isis, with palm trees, Ibises, and priests and priestesses, some with sistrums (rattles). A priest disguised as the god Bes performs a ritual dance on the podium steps. 🏺 1/ 1st c. CE, #MANN

Uh. clears throat As one of the only people in the world with expertise in Egyptology/Remote Sensing, my official take is that this study is pseudoscientific nonsense+ smells of FreshCowPatties™️. I read the original paper. It should be retracted. www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...

Professor friends! And specifically those with leanings to ancient art history! Do you or anyone you know have the ability to evaluate a PhD? I've got a friend scrambling to find 2 replacements to help examine/evaluate her English-language PhD on Egyptian art at an international university.

I find it so fascinating that these two mummies, along with their fantastic encaustic portraits, were found in the same tomb. The orientation of the soldier's studded sword belt indicates that he’s of low rank, but the woman is clothed in silks and wears expensive jewelry. 🏺 1/ c. 100-200 CE. 📸 me

Painters used pigments such as these to create the frescoes for which the Romans are so famous. These coloured pigments were applied onto layers of damp plaster. Marble or alabaster dust was mixed into upper coats to enhance the luminescence. 📍 Pompeii 🕰️C1st AD 📷 mine
