New paper out today! "The Entwined Human and Environmental Costs of the Colonial Project: Perspectives from Natural History Collections". I explored a few themes on how natural history #museums are now working to understand their colonial legacies. A little🧵: www.berghahnjournals.com/view/journal...

Hello world, please keep your fingers crossed for Germany today. My polling station was pretty busy this morning & voter turnout in general until now seems to be higher than previous years. Holding on to straws here but I need to be hopeful that democracy will prevail.

The value of #NaturalHistoryCollections lies in the provenance data, which can reveal the hundreds of thousands of hidden hands behind the prominent few who are attributed as the 'collectors'. This paper provides data that can be applied across so many different disciplines #CollectionsMatter 🌏🧪

Our data paper is out today: Collecting and cataloguing the world: the botanical collections of Hans Sloane (1660–1753). Co-authored with Vicky Pickering, @rxcoulton.bsky.social, Julianne Nyhan and Mark Carine doi.org/10.1080/1477...

Another reminder for those who still seem to have not understood: Chat programs do not “look up” information and then repeat it. They write plausible language in answer to a prompt based on their data set. References will use real people, journals & words from titles, but will not truly exist.

A dear friend of mine just had a rejection for a job that she was more than qualified for and clearly the ideal candidate. Guess the gender of the hardly qualified person who got the job!
