It's happening! @autsquidsquad.bsky.social and I are out with #IntrepidTravel deploying #ProjectESCA in search of the #ColossalSquid.

With brief journey scheduled to Aotearoa New Zealand in March to visit @te_papa, and a plan to read more this year, now is the perfect time to listen to Jock Phillips' A History of New Zealand in 100 Objects. The introduction has set me up with high expectations.

A big congrats to #NDFNZ board member Claire Regnault, whose book 'Dressed', published by @Te_Papa, launched this week. You can hear Claire speak about the book on RNZ here:
