Apothecary shop 🙏⁦@wellcomeimages⁩ query for ⁦@PharmHist⁩ please: have you seen ‘Soyez tranquille’ used as the name of an early 19C sedative/narcotic?

#otd 1825 Mary Morland saw some lamas at Farringdon - the letter she wrote to tell her betrothed William Buckland about it survives. It was her birthday! I think she would enjoy the gorgeous alpacas ⁦@HornimanMuseum⁩ Happy Birthday Mary ⁦@morethanadodo⁩

[Dr Emma Louise Nicholls @Dr_EmmaNicholls]

It’s so satisfying to see the fruits of our labour come together

And if comments from the Private View are anything to go by, I think it’ll be popular 😃

Come & see our FAB (she says humbly 😆) new exhibition Breaking Ground, featuring Megalosaurus! 🦖

My first (long overdue) visit to @lapworthmuseum a treat to glimpse its amazing collections including teaching diagrams and models

[Dr Emma Louise Nicholls @Dr_EmmaNicholls]

Thanks to sleuthing by @morethanadodo researcher Sue Newell, we now know our Dapedium fossil is a Mary Anning specimen 😎🐟

AND! We recently collaborated with @RoyalMail to put it on a stamp, modelled here by me & Librarian + Archivist extraordinaire @dczerkaszyn

@talloaksfrom @GeolSoc @BurlingtonHub Thank you!

@talloaksfrom @LinneanSociety @V_and_A Sorry for late reply see Northern Ceramics Soc (34, 2018) for my article, ‘Manufacturer and museum: George Maw’s relationship with Museum of Practical Geology c. 1867-80’. I consulted geologists to attempt link to known specimens/species but inconclusive. See also my fn42.

[Dr Susan Newell @Bucklandnow]

@MBRoberts4004 @morethanadodo Thank you! Your Darwin/ glacial theory article was an important reference in my thesis.

[Dr Susan Newell @Bucklandnow]

#otd 1797 was born Mary Morland ⁦⁦natural history artist, researcher, curator. Married to William Buckland, they contributed to the development of geology ⁦@morethanadodo⁩

[Dr Susan Newell @Bucklandnow]

@MBRoberts4004 @morethanadodo Her transcript of his lecture was acquired by @morethanadodo earlier this year. They seem to have been a devoted partnership up to the time he became ill- but yes the household was unconventional by any standards!

[Dr Susan Newell @Bucklandnow]
