If anyone asks why I’ve not finished my thesis, I blame this little desk monster

Currently on a @EastMidRailway train with at least 6 people not wearing masks and you can’t change carriages whilst on the train... worried is an understatement

University of Sheffield: Save Sheffield's Archaeology Department - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/SWIn8mpr5l via @UKChange

[Cati Fear @catrinfear]

I am #ArchaeologistsMadeInSheffield and the decisions that the university are considering will be detrimental to the field of archaeology. I would not be where I am today without that fantastic department, and neither would many fantastic archaeologists.

If you think the biggest threat to history is removing a couple of statues rather than the loss of multiple Departments of Archaeology from UK universities you are massively misguided. It's absolutely heartbreaking.

There are so many super villains with PhDs...I wonder if they decided to become a super villain before doing their PhD, or if their PhD drove them to that career path?🤔

I guess we’ll never know🙃😂

After a great day presenting my thesis, I baked this carrot cake and I cannot wait to have a slice 😍

Lead was mind, smelted and produced throughout the medieval period. It was used in cosmetics, coins, paint, and medicine. Why was it put in medicine when they knew it was harmful? @catrinfear

[Dr. Sarah Baccianti @SarahBaccianti]

Lead and Saturn

[Dr. Sarah Baccianti @SarahBaccianti]

Used in medicine as it is a natural anti-inflammatory, and used up until 1952. Recognised as a poison and hence prescribed it also with calcium supplement.

[Dr. Sarah Baccianti @SarahBaccianti]

Lead was used since the Neolithic and historically used in coinage, water pipes, roofs, food and drink, pewter, domestic household items, cosmetics... @catrinfear is opening our eyes on lead poisoning in the past (and worryingly) today

[Dr. Sarah Baccianti @SarahBaccianti]

Last talk of session 7 by Catrin Fear @catrinfear: 'The impact of a lead in Medieval Britain: did they know it was poisonous?' #MMNAW21 a topic still relevant due to its toxicity also today

[Dr. Sarah Baccianti @SarahBaccianti]

What a wonderful presentation! Thank you @catrinfear #MMNAW21

[UoN CSVA @UoNCSVA]

Featuring our own Dr @NorseLass and our PhD student @catrinfear! #MMNAW21

[Cati Fear @catrinfear]

Very excited for the last day of #MMNAW21 after two days of great talks. My turn today discussing the impact lead use had in medieval Britain!

[Archaeology Nottingham @UoNArch]

Good luck @catrinfear - discussing medieval lead (Pb) use in medicines and other purposes.
