Ahead of the US release of #themirrorandthelight @pbs I was delighted to contribute to this thought-provoking piece in @smithsonianmagazine about #thomascromwell in fact and fiction www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-...

#OTD in 1972, Japanese WW2 vet Shoichi Yokoi was spotted by a pair of fisherman in a Guam jungle. He had been hiding out on the island for 27 years, since evading capture by Allies in the Battle of Guam. @meilansolly.bsky.social tells his wild story @smithsonianmag.bsky.social: loom.ly/mgw5L4c

Uff da! Always hard to listen to the sound of your own voice. But if you want to hear a roundup of the year's biggest science stories, maybe you can endure this clip I recorded with @wbur.org? Thanks to Robin Young for the opportunity to chat about 2024's milestones. www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

Really enjoyed working with @meilansolly.bsky.social on this, even if it did involve the jarring experience of writing 'math' instead of 'maths' on several occasions...

Excited to have the newly minted postdoc @jamesafox.bsky.social make a guest appearance in @smithsonianmag.bsky.social today! www.smithsonianmag.com/history/afte...
