First Skype a Scientist session for Fall 2025 for me today so I've been thinking harder about #archaeology, #medieval, #museumwork and my place in the scheme of things.
You all have no idea how much I miss it and the people I've met along the way.

The staff is having an interesting debate on how to exhibit this as a 1960/70s “stop immigration” graffiti, unrelated to the factory, dramatically changes the history and nature of this object.

I love the shadows coming from this gorgeous sculpture by Ruth Asawa called, “Untitled (S.154, Hanging Nine-Lobed, Single-Layered Continuous Form)” c. 1958.
Come see it at the Cantor Arts Center!
Museum work is so cool!

Always fulfilling to get a group of younger students excited about the possibility of a career in medicine, or even museums! It helps to communicate that part of the job is playing history detectives really, and then story-telling your discoveries 🕵️♀️

The installation of the Long Gallery took two months and involved nine staff members, along with numerous ladders, trolleys, and crates.
The Long Gallery displays over 2000 of John Hunter's original preparations.

Feeling disheartened working in a museum right now. The political climate makes it harder to find meaning in the work I do, especially when so much of our history is being questioned or disregarded. #MuseumWork #PoliticalClimate #FeelingDown

Me, to practically everyone at work, at the end of the day: “Nat, the Indian boy, was judged to be free!!”
Them: “Who?”
Me: “The court case I was following (transcribing) from 1777”

Today I finished my 2nd draft of an exhibit proposal, gave a tour of our new exhibit which opens in 17 days, and wrote a session proposal for a conference. My brain is tired. #MuseumWork

Oh my goodness, that is tiny - can you make out the dove? I see some microscope photography in my future, but for now here's a quick snap of a pseudo-Sikyonian obol, 12.3 mm diameter, 4th century BCE.

Sweetpea, our Eastern Box Turtle, has a new home. It's hard for me to tell if she's happy, but the fact that we see her out exploring a lot more seems like a good sign. #Museums #MuseumWork #ScienceMuseum

1/🧵 This chap is evidently from the dervish frieze in our project on 17th century Iranian tiles. But the edges of the fragment were ground down and any one of them could be the edge of the original tile!
