Wonderful night performing at History Showoff @Southwarkcathed on Thursday! Thanks so much to @steve_x and @ScienceShowoff for letting me blab on about 17th Century Lockdowns and the presentation of Matt Hancock in Ben Jonson’s ‘The Alchemist’!

Help a frustrated researcher out - how does one get access to a collection at the British Online Archives @boa_map? I’ve emailed the address on the website twice, but both have bounced.
A maths problem for GCSE results day:
Caroline’s train from Oxford to Leeds has a 12 minute change at Birmingham New Street. But the train from Oxford is routinely 11 minutes delayed. How fast can Caroline run?
Forgive the uncharacteristic self-promotion, but this baby is officially published.
Huge thanks to Colin Burrow and the team at RES @OUPAcademic, and to my supervisors @OldFortunatus and @David_F_Taylor for reading 50,000 drafts!

This conference season, I’ll be asking the big questions. Like:
“When writing their paper, does everybody pretend they’re presenting a BBC4 documentary?”
No? Just me? Ok.
