Goya’s Saturn devouring his sons, but with balloons

Featuring our own Dr @NorseLass and our PhD student Cati Fear! #MMNAW21

Good luck Cati Fear - discussing medieval lead (Pb) use in medicines and other purposes.

Very excited for the last day of #MMNAW21 after two days of great talks. My turn today discussing the impact lead use had in medieval Britain!

Last talk of session 7 by Catrin Fear Cati Fear: 'The impact of a lead in Medieval Britain: did they know it was poisonous?' #MMNAW21 a topic still relevant due to its toxicity also today

Lead was mind, smelted and produced throughout the medieval period. It was used in cosmetics, coins, paint, and medicine. Why was it put in medicine when they knew it was harmful? Cati Fear

Lead was used since the Neolithic and historically used in coinage, water pipes, roofs, food and drink, pewter, domestic household items, cosmetics... Cati Fear is opening our eyes on lead poisoning in the past (and worryingly) today

Used in medicine as it is a natural anti-inflammatory, and used up until 1952. Recognised as a poison and hence prescribed it also with calcium supplement.

What a wonderful presentation! Thank you Cati Fear #MMNAW21

After a great day presenting my thesis, I baked this carrot cake and I cannot wait to have a slice 😍

There are so many super villains with PhDs...I wonder if they decided to become a super villain before doing their PhD, or if their PhD drove them to that career path?🤔 I guess we’ll never know🙃😂 #PhDVoice

If you think the biggest threat to history is removing a couple of statues rather than the loss of multiple Departments of Archaeology from UK universities you are massively misguided. It's absolutely heartbreaking.

I am #ArchaeologistsMadeInSheffield and the decisions that the university are considering will be detrimental to the field of archaeology. I would not be where I am today without that fantastic department, and neither would many fantastic archaeologists.

Currently on a East Midlands Railway (EMR) train with at least 6 people not wearing masks and you can’t change carriages whilst on the train... worried is an understatement
