@pablitasan I’m infuriated that the article repeatedly states that her prioritizing hostessing over the health and safety of others was “well-intentioned”. From the very first sentence!
@pablitasan 🤚🏼 It was awful. I became depressed and lost relationships because so much of my perceived worth was wrapped up in my work. Also, I had to work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet, even after being hired by another museum. There was no opportunity to process the experience at the time.
@pablitasan I mean, we say “you can’t touch” all day long and folks continuously touch works.
And what happens when folks disrespecting mask or distancing rules are donors?
@museum_matters Mine was a guided program for visitors with dementia. We enjoyed a lengthy discussion at a new work in the collection by Firelei Baez that touched on snakes, soil content, hairstyles, and racial oppression. @RissiPalmer joined us and performed 1960s/70s women’s power ballads.
A major highlight of the study is that nearly half of the participants were able to remember the artworks they discussed in the program six weeks after it ended. @JessicaKayRuhle@Scott_M_Reid

@tertiaryprocess@Scott_M_Reid Now the question is, how can #neuroaesthetics research partnerships help us identify how new learning takes place when those with memory loss have the arts as part of a treatment plan. 👁🧠💃🏻
Big thanks, @magmidd!! We 💚 our new sign as the Nasher Museum plans a bathroom update to create a non-gendered space for non-binary folx, families with young kids, and adults with care partners! I am excited to see museums creating more inclusive spaces. 🎉🎉🎉 #visitorcentered
Loved yesterday’s visit from Jeremy at Brain Visions who brought a dry touch wearable EEG device for our team to check out! 🧠🔬💖 It’s exciting to imagine how mobile brain body imaging might help museums create better… https://t.co/nNtgl7SMKP
