Finishing up on the first day of my postdoc with @srsrensoc.bsky.social! I was hoping to share a fun image of early modern aphrodisiac foods, but can't find anything polite enough for social media 🙈

Hugely honoured to be granted this opportunity and excited to begin my new project on aphrodisiac-foods in early modern England!
