Historian of early modern England at University at Buffalo and Associate Dean for Undergraduate Research in Undergraduate Education. Happy to talk DH, 1890s bicycling, and the history of Buffalo. Skiing and biking. Opinions my own. She/her.
Lovely reference, love that song.

Having my students do reading experiments suggested here on Bluesky. Clear demonstration of reflexive reach for the phone!

I was once quizzed on what day of the week Queen Victoria was born. Not year, month, even date, but day of the week. The antique shop owner of course knew the answer.

My primary assured me that vaccines would be left alone when I asked for a review of my current status in December 2024. Not happy to have been right to worry about them. Nor happy that she was not more alarmed herself!

Research time lunch, on repeat in London: egg salad with watercress, crisps, special treat day add a Kit Kat bar. And yes I thought the Kit Kat tasted better there!
