My superpower? Co-organising niche conferences 😂 Next year: Emblem studies. This year: sundials.

1 paper and 1 poster accepted for the big cultural astronomy conference in Sicily in November 💪🏻

Incredibly humbled to have been able to hold a copy of the object of my dissertation project today ✌🏻🥰👋🏻

I fell down the rabbit hole of the Protestant resistance against the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. Oh my word, the scale of the polemics! 😂

I am delighted to share that I have been elected a Postgraduate Member of the Royal Historical Society! Thank you 🥰 #history #historyofastronomy #histsci

It is my pleasure to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Austrian Astronomical Society as their vice-president today!

Awesome! We applied for a special session on digital technology and Neo-Latin studies at IANLS next year and it just got approved! Woohoo!

SEAC XXXI about to start. My poster looks good ♥️ Looking forward to my talk on friday as well...

Excited to share that I'm putting my generous Transkribus scholarship to good use 🙂 transkribus.org/blog/transkrib…

Did you know stars have official names beyond scientific ones? The IAU Working Group on Star Names has added 19 new names, preserving our astronomical heritage. Total now: 491. #Astronomy #IAU #starnames #WGSN

The IAU named θ Aquilae (HIP 99473) 'Antinous', preserving Ptolemy's 137 CE designation honoring Emperor Hadrian's deified favorite in the region of the extinct Babylonian constellation The Corpse. This star in Aquila continues a 2000-year tradition. #IAU #starnames #WGSN

Here we go ❤️ First article deriving from my dissertation project is out 😊

I learned yesterday that the Emperor of Austria & others tried to melt small diamonds into one bigger one in 1751. It didn‘t work, but I’d loved to have been there just to see the faces of the people when they found out they had just evaporated diamonds for nothing 🤓

Morning! Here's a silly little Paul McCartney tune to cheer you up: youtu.be/ap87QgZKTNw

I'm in Uppsala on a work & research trip and my colleague showed me Stoeffler's Calendarium today. Boring I hear you say... Well, this copy has Copernicus' handwritten corrections of the Latin :)

Well, maybe Dan Brown isn't that bad after all 😉 openculture.com/2025/08/2178-o…

About once a year, journalists take an interest in parts of my research. This year, it's the calendar!
