I'm a researcher and anthropologist. I'm also a parent, a cook, and a terrible sketcher.

With the welcome attention Th Bathysphere Book is getting — I’m still very grateful to @rescuepress for publishing my novel To Remain Nameless, which snuck out during the early days of lockdown.

I love the notion of Else Bostelmann's Bathysphera intacta as a descendant of Dürer's Rhinoceros in this wonderful review in The Guardian.
