Do you have very particular tastes when it comes to primroses? I do!
You can see the ones of the left are more white than yellow, obviously the ones on the right are infinitely better 🌼

This is a redrawn, recoloured adaptation from Robinet Testard, le secret de l’histoire naturelle contenant les merveilles et choses mémorables du monde, France, 15th century.
In this 15th century view we can see lots of the familiar representations of Stone Age life that are still popular today: violence, animal skins for clothing, unruly hair, clubs and bows, emerging from caves.
Medieval style drawinf of a prehistoric outdoor scene showing Five figures in animal skins, with clubs and a dead animal and a monkey and rocky caves
What did Medieval people think about the prehistoric world? It’s so fascinating to think that people from history wondered about archaeology too!

Trade Union Unite is seeking a Sectoral Employment Order (SEO) to raise pay for Archaeologists working in development in Ireland to €45k pa, a level broadly equivalent to building workers in skilled trades.
To note - many of our students get access to the premium version via Disabilities services, but the full application of the tool may end conflicting with assessment permissions. So lots of nuance to think through in practice.
One of the most popular AI tools that huge numbers of students use is Grammarly. Did you see its recent new AI features? It gives those of us working in Higher Education A LOT to think about when it comes to assessments.
Prepare yourself if this is new! #highered
