What a totally unsurprising result.... Votecompass.uk

Amazing first full day in Amman, Jordan. I don't think I've been to a hillier city, but the climbs are all worth it!

Does anyone fancy hearing me talk for six weeks about my favourite subject? If you last six weeks, I'll show you behind the scenes and let you touch stuff. Not a euphemism. liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/whatson/world-…

Join me World Museum 🌎 on Saturday at 11am where me and expert bee keeper Andrea Ku will be comparing and contrasting bee keeping from Ancient Egypt and today as well as discussing some surprising ancient uses for honey and wax. Saturday 20 July at 11am, drop in!

Really proud to speak today at #TUC2024 on a motion calling for more action to protect the rights of migrant workers for PCS Union (pcs.org.uk)! The motion was unanimously passed.

Had a total blast at GEM conference 2024, especially speaking on my panel straight after visiting the Brunel's SS Great Britain in wonderful Bristol. I am always inspired by my fellow museum educators and the theme of valuing learning gave so much scope for discussion. 😊

As always I had a total blast at #GEMconference24 and have, once again, made the 'cover' on one of the site visits. Rope making in Chatham, drag emmigration in Bristol, what will Leeds 2025 bring? 😂

We have just completed this amazing six week course delivered by the even more amazing Matt Exley It was entertaining, educating and fun 😊 liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/whatson/world-…

I've absolutely loved teaching the Introduction to Ancient Egypt course World Museum 🌎! The highlight, as always, is going behind the scenes with Ashley Cooke 𓀁 to see the thousands of objects not on display!

Glorious sunset over the Mersey after a packed week with 4 group visits to World Museum 🌎 Antiquities storerooms. Matt Exley is a wonderful teacher & his next National Museums Liverpool Short Course is Introduction to Egyptian Hieroglyphs - sign up now! liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/whatson/world-…

Beirut, a city much like the one you might live in with smart streets, a beautiful museum, an Irish bar, and centuries of history is being shelled. I loved Beirut and all the people I met there. This news is just heartbreaking.

Museum Problems... when you join a hybrid meeting and the camera thinks the painted Terracotta Warrior is a new team member World Museum 🌎. 😂

On my way to NWFed Museums Conference TheWorldofGlass in St Helens talking about research on the value of museum learning for GEM. My train's final destination is Blackpool however so there's also a distinct risk I'll miss my stop for some chips on the Pier!

Really enjoyed presenting for GEM at NWFed in the wonderful TheWorldofGlass in St Helens. Lots of interesting conversations, and on my way out, I made a feathered friend!

Just accepted an unconditional offer to go back to Archaeology, Classics & Egyptology at Liv Uni to start research on the spatial organisation of these amazing tombs (and others) at Qubbet el-Hawa. Excited beyond belief. Now the hard work begins! Keeping the day job, giving up sleep.

Really proud to help organise Liverpool's annual Trans Day of Remembrance Museum of Liverpool to commemorate those who have been killed or taken their own lives due to transphobia. A powerful and poignant event that centres Trans and Non-Binary community voices and lived experience.

Really proud to be able to help support this poignant event Museum of Liverpool with SAVERA UK to raise awareness of, and call for an end to 'honour'-based abuse. Amazing speakers, amazing performances, really powerful.

I had a wonderful day at the Museum stores yesterday, getting up close with all the amazing objects not on display. Massive thanks to Ashley Cooke 𓀁 for putting up with us going slightly feral in the racking.

I suppose there's no good way to go... but if I had a choice...

Never thought I'd be the type to set homework, but here I am, drunk with power and a red marker! Really enjoying delving into hieroglyphs once more World Museum 🌎... frying brains and transliterating inscriptions!
