Very fun and educational morning in the lab remaking 'Mastic oil of Mesue', a staple of Renaissance apothecaries. Smells amazing.

Very excited to be hosting this in collab (suitably enough) with the amazing Renaissance Goo Project! Join us, Odeuropa Making And Knowing Project and Bear history in the Anatomy Museum on 7 June to learn more about experimental and interdisciplinary collaboration... eventbrite.co.uk/e/ways-of-know…

So as well as @profjill_burke & Wilson Poon from Renaissance Goo, this includes Dr. Sophie Pitman from Refashioning the Renaissance; @WillTullett from Odeuropa; @TillmannT from Making And Knowing Project; @andykesson & Prof Hannah O'Regan from #BoxOfficeBears AND stuff to touch/smell/see too. Will be fab!

What a brilliant morning investigating Renaissance pharmacy jars in the stores at National Museums Scotland - thinking about how the user, jar and ingredients interact.
