It's 148 years since I married Louisa, and my 35th wedding anniversary today!

Can any #JohnTyndall experts help me locate a cartoon showing the Catholic bishops of Ireland driving Tyndall (the snake) out of Ireland after his Belfast Address? I think it appeared in an Irish graphic newspaper (1874/5) John Tyndall Michael D. Barton Tanya O'Sullivan @eneswald1

Sadly, I appear to have lost any correspondence I might have had with Mr Hyde Hills.

...and what about me?!

I have to admit, Eunice Foote does deserve to be better known #WomensHistoryMonth

Rededication this afternoon of the gravestone of John Tyndall and Louisa in Haslemere, complete with reading of his poetry 1/2

Just received my early copy of the new Henry Roscoe biography by Peter Morris and Peter Reed, which I enjoyed reading in draft. Available from OUP.

Well, I'd never claim I discovered the greenhouse effect, as I made clear in my 1861 paper that Fourier and others have precedence. But I did provide experimental evidence for its physical mechanism. (Also I was probably born c.1822 rather than 1820).

Delighted to be involved in this National Heritage Week event. I'll be talking about John Tyndall 's Belfast lecture, exactly 150 years since it was delivered... Unlike Tyndall's 2 hour talk, mine will be short. The rest of time will be filled with drama and music inspired by Tyndall.

John Herschel was much more than just an astronomer. My latest book explains why: upittpress.org/books/97808229…

My book has a cover, and it will be out in the new year! #litsci #litmed #soundstudies #medhums

I see that my good friend Thomas Carlyle has been 'cancelled' by The London Library by having his bust removed, and the discounted Carlyle membership appears to have gone. I'm hoping my books won't be banned there.

Those were the days
