@AuthorJCha Apologies, I’m not very used to Twitter but I think we need to follow each other as it’s not giving me the option to DM you!

@AuthorJCha hello! I wondered if I could send you a DM / email regarding some research I am doing for my PhD? Many thanks!

Happy #HDday #ClassicsTwitter - feeling lucky to be able to spend the next two years of my PhD in the company with of such a brilliant mind. My papa had scary complex surgery today but it went well and he’s in recovery - choosing to believe Hecate gave him a helping hand.

Our first session of #TQGNF21 is tomorrow! The scheduled talks have been swapped around a little in the inevitable pre-conference last-minute way - tomorrow we have @chrismologos @spacedolphin__ , Nemo Gorecki and Carolina Sanchez-Palencia speaking, with a keynote by @Anasemia 🤩

Very pleased to see that the Classical Association has launched this hardship grant scheme! Both their overall annual budget for this, and the maximum grant amount, are much larger than anything we can offer. Full details of eligibility etc are in the post below.

[Sportula Europe @SportulaEurope]

The first application deadline is in less than three weeks, so please share this widely - especially with self-funded PhD students in your departments or those whose funding period has ended, and who have no access to internal / departmental hardship funds.

[Ashley 🌈📚🎓 @MixedClassicist]

My take on the discussions (which are somehow *still* happening on the Liverpool List) about the need for Classicists to have reading proficiency in two ancient and (at least) four modern languages - who's willing to pay for that?

[Dr Carla Ardis @Carla_Ardis]

During #WomenHistoryMonth we saw ancient roman women working, writing, ruling. But, as an illustrator, I can't forget that Roman women could also be fine artist! This I AD #FrescoFriday from the House of the Surgeon in @pompeii_sites portrays a woman painting a statue of Priapus
