Had a great Sunday afternoon at Ulster Museum at a packed event speaking about my recent book with Hugh Odling-Smee. This was my second event at this year's @niscifest.bsky.social, and hopefully I'll be invited back next year for more!
Really looking forward to being in conversation with @smeeho7.bsky.social tomorrow (Feb 22) about my recent book, 'A History of Ireland in Ten Body Parts', bringing medical history to @niscifest.bsky.social. There's still some tickets left!

Ancient human remains uncovered in a Co Londonderry bog are believed to belong to a young woman who lived around 2,000 years ago.
The discovery has been hailed as βone of the most important archaeological discoveries on the island of Irelandβ.

Please please don't π» your book review editors! We are always SO understanding about late reviews and ghosting just means that the authors do not get their books reviewed. #PhDChat #AcademicChatter

As an academic, I never expected many people to ever read my work, so I feel privileged, and quite surprised, to be in Waterstones Xmas window display this year.
In Feb 2025, Iβm appearing twice at Northern Ireland Science Festival.
Second event is Bone, Blood, Birth and Brains: The Life of a Victorian Surgeon in Belfast (Weds 12 February). Includes trephining tools, a blood-covered Victorian surgeon kit, bleeding tools, and more!
