I wrote a blog about possibly the most ambitious experimental archaeology project I've seen: Building a replica solar sail spaceship in three weeks and piloting it yourself! Give it a read if it interests you. #StarTrek #Archaeology #Classics @StarTrek https://t.co/23ltJoxa46

That's 50 episodes completed for the Coffee and Circuses podcast, and now to take a break.

Thanks to everyone who took part, I've learnt a lot along the way (most notably that I struggle to speak coherent English a lot of the time).

@EllieMackin I loved David Gemmel's Troy book series.

[Ben Greet @B_Greet]

@_ACFox Exactly. If not it's quite a hard pill to swallow.

[Ben Greet @B_Greet]

@_ACFox Right up my street! Puns and birds is basically my life.

Liz and I just had dinner at René and Judith’s home a few weeks ago...a heartbreaking and unspoken goodbye. He was truly a Renaissance man. One of the few I ever met. Always a joy to be with. A dear friend. I will miss him.

Rene Auberjonois 1940~2019.
A beloved member of our Star Trek family, among so many other decorated achievements on stage and screen. But above all, one of the sweetest humans I have ever met.
May he rest in God’s peace.

I cannot express how much you meant to me. I will truly miss you my dear colleague, mentor, father figure, friend.

[Brent Spiner @BrentSpiner]

Rene was a great artist, a great man, and a great friend. He will be forever missed by all that knew him. Goodnight Sweet Prince.

[Nana Visitor @NanaVisitor]

I love and respect Rene more than I can say right now. This beautiful soul. My heart. Oh

I'm mostly on Twitter for this kind of content. Excellent pun.

Back to teaching today and it's Late Antiquity.

Can't wait to tell my Tetrarchy joke, it's Galerius.

[Ben Greet @B_Greet]

@KatExe Thank you. I will be in Zurich. I've not even visited Switzerland before, so very much looking forward to it.

[Ben Greet @B_Greet]

Hello Twitter, I have an announcement. I will be starting a new postdoctoral position in Switzerland in January! It's a really exciting project creating a database of stamp seals excavated in the Southern Levant. Wish me luck! (Pictured: my favourite duck seals)

[Ben Greet @B_Greet]

@ElainaM42 I've haven't even visited it yet. Do you have any recommendations of places to travel and things to eat?

[Ben Greet @B_Greet]

@bigfridge224 Thanks Stuart! It's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time! I definitely don't know enough German yet...

@_iocheaira @rmavirumquecano One was just released that I missed in the cinema and knew absolutely nothing about. It's called Wolf and has a wonderful 1.8 rating on IMDB.

[Ben Greet @B_Greet]

@rmavirumquecano I love this movie! Mainly for the fact (if I remember correctly) they call Theseus - 'Theo'. Genius.

@DocCrom @pjgoodman @clitullus This is amazing. I especially appreciate the Martial/Data gif. Great stuff.
