It was an honour to mark our 100-year relationship with @Smithsonian by signing an MoU and gifting books which represent the University’s research. It is inspiring to see so many @UniOfLeicester alumni in key roles @Smithsonian. We look forward to partnering for 100 more years

@tillyblyth @LeicsMusStud Congratulations!! This is absolutely wonderful news! The School of Museum Studies couldn't be in better hands. I can't wait to see what this new chapter will bring. I expect great and exciting things!

[Petrina Foti @PetrinaFoti]

Late to the game, but depending on the topic, I tend to check @ComputerHistory holdings first, especially their oral histories

[Darren Milligan @DarrenMilligan]

@lljohnston @PetrinaFoti any ideas?

[Leslie Johnston @lljohnston]

Colleagues and friends: what are your favorite primary sources when considering the history of technology and innovation in information science?

[Petrina Foti @PetrinaFoti]

@dr_amyjaneb No, don't do that! We need to counterbalance those Hollywood types that kiss everyone!

[Petrina Foti @PetrinaFoti]

@dr_amyjaneb Good idea! And maybe try one of her recipes from her website. It would give you a sense of how easy her recipes are to follow and if you life her style of cooking.

@dr_amyjaneb I have never tried her recipes, but I occasionally check Chetna Markan's website, because I loved her so much on GBBO https://t.co/IcaQd0Fubd

🐼❤️ Although our giant panda cub is still perfecting his crawling skills, mom Mei Xiang is helping her son see the world beyond their den. Over the weekend, the pair took a brief “field trip” into their indoor habitat. ✏️STORY: https://t.co/TJpSFsRftZ. #PandaStory #PandaCubdates

The article looks fantastic and it's directly related to our research! Something for a future reading group! #CircuitsofPractice @simone_natale @rossparry @dcbrock @simonacasonato @dag_spicer @rj_boon

[Fernando Domínguez Rubio @fdrubio1977]

@simone_natale @dcbrock @dag_spicer @rossparry @PetrinaFoti @simonacasonato Thanks for reading it!

BTW, and in case of interest, I also have this other one, which came out early this year in Public Culture, that is directly related to digital heritage

Blocked by the Arkansas National Guard on what should have been her first day at Little Rock Central High School, Minnijean Brown bravely pursued the education she knew she and fellow members of the "Little Rock Nine" deserved. She designed and wore this dress to her graduation.

@dr_amyjaneb I seem to recall at least one of us drinking tea out of a wine glass ;-)

Autumn scenery is on view at “MoonFlower Sagaya Ginza, Art by teamLab” in Ginza, Tokyo, an interactive space where you can feel October in Japan while enjoying a new dining experience. The space and cuisine change monthly with the seasons of Japan.

🐼💙 Our 6-week-old giant panda cub is aww-inspiring. Over the past month, the newborn’s iconic black markings appeared, he received a clean bill of health from Zoo veterinarians and he's packing on the pounds! ✏️TOP 5 MOMENTS: https://t.co/p4zJqZ7xtV. #PandaStory #PandaCubdates

[Petrina Foti @PetrinaFoti]

@civema @alexwoodall @A_Karbe @AnraKennedy @IsabelM48908112 @igalina @RhiannonMason @analuciaraujo_ I never thought about it like that, but you are absolutely right! My first thought was "How did Cintia know my research was delving more into the history of science?" 😆😆😆😆
