Researchers in Museums: Collections and Archives Workshop Series. Thackray Museum of Medicine, Leeds. 13 May; 18 June; 9 July; 1-4pm. I am delighted to be working with Thackray Museum of Medicine to host three workshops for ‘Researchers in Museums’. These interactive workshops offer early career researchers an opportunity to learn about the potential of museum collections to enrich their research. Each workshop will include: ‘Cancer in the Collections’: a unique insight into how one researcher, Dr Claire Turner (Durham University) uses Thackray’s extensive collections and archives to support her own research. Stores Tour: an exclusive guided tour of Thackray’s stores by its Collections Team, with the opportunity to learn more about the history of the museum and the objects, books, and archival materials it holds. Research Room Time: a chance to look in greater depth at books, objects and archival materials drawn from the museum’s collections. Personal Research: option to request and view an object related to your own research. Each session can accommodate up to 8 attendees, each of whom will receive a £20 bursary towards travel to the workshop. To be eligible to attend, you must be: An early career researcher (MA, PhD, or within two years of finishing the PhD) Working broadly within the field of medical humanities Expressions of interest should include a short summary of your research, how you meet the workshop criteria, and your preferred workshop date (max 250 words). All EOIs should be submitted to claire.o.turner@durham.ac.uk by 5pm on Friday 17 April.

I'm delighted to finally share details of a workshop series I'm hosting with @thackraymuseum.bsky.social! 'Researchers in Museums' is open to a wide range of early career researchers and offers the opportunity to go 'behind the scenes' in a fantastic medical museum. Please share widely!

👋 Bluesky peeps, you might know me from history of science/heritage work, or as a lived-experienced autism researcher, or generally silly person. Whichever way, please consider donating: I'm walking 5km w my autistic son to raise money for National Autistic Society waam.autism.org.uk/fundraising/...

I have many thoughts on this, I had to buy my 4 YO a tablet to do his Reception homeschooling (phonics etc) set in lockdown; my lockdown baby has seen screens his whole life. The number of last minute emails from school etc. on phones whilst trying to look after them... Absolutely relentless

March is #Endometriosis awareness month, April is #Autism awareness & apparently May is #mentalhealth. I'm just going to rebrand my spring as self-awareness quarterly 🤔

Pass the dolly blue

Nothing makes me want to be totally alone with my computer and a podcast like parenting 🫠

This sounds very hitchhikers!

This cheered me no end, my AuDHDer became a Whovian at a similar age 💓

This parent's letter warmed my heart this evening - especially as my AuDHDer also discovered the Doctor during Tennant's comeback! #doctorwho #autism #adhd

I took Fred to the live show in MCR recently, the songs took centre stage and this was - of course - the finale 👑

We're the chronically ill and the chronically ignored 😞

I also think it's valuable to question why something is noted as a first or why a first is heralded as a good thing at any given time

It interests me how the railways utilise these narratives, and create the official company story. Like I mentioned recently, I'd love some more family stories coming forward for Rocket 2030, we might find less officially documented cases!
