Congrats, @hannatervanotko.bsky.social! This looks fab, and I can't wait to read it.
Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution.

#DigitalHumanities PhD position
Earlier this month, I was joined by colleagues from across Europe @chesterbeatty.bsky.social for a seminar on 'home' and CB's late antique artefacts. Very thoughtful papers and rich discussion. Grateful for the investment of all involved on this @researchireland.ie New foundations project.
McMaster university is hiring an Associate Professor or Professor with Tenur of History and Medicine.

This is on tomorrow and Wednesday! Join us @chesterbeatty.bsky.social at 10am (both days) if you're in Dublin and into material culture, late antiquity, ideas about 'home,' or Beatty himself.
Super energized by student presentations in my Paul module today. A few who have yet to speak in class began participating after they presented their work. Also, each group found a way to riff on the first group's designation of the community in Corinth as Paul's 'problem child'! Love it
Likewise!
Cool new colour, but also big congrats to @sarahparkhouse.bsky.social!
