This does a much better job of announcing our Professorial job than my rushed blank Retweet earlier today. What Priya says is all true!
Okay. Now for a happier tweet. We @englishunicam are hiring a Full Professor--an established chair and it's open field. Don't tell anyone I said this but it's a pretty decent department to work in, fabulous students & there are loads of good people in it incl. obv me.
There have been a couple of new posts on my blog since I last mentioned it: english.cam.ac.uk/research/c…
The most recent one looks at research into why most people are not constantly flooded with involuntary thoughts about the past and the future.
Retweeting someone Tweeting what I should have Tweeted... If I am blogging again (which I am, tentatively for now) then I should be back on Twitter more. Thanks, Simon! english.cam.ac.uk/research/c… as he says.

Some of my friends have had dramas getting their kids home from far away, as lockdowns spread and flights stop. This petition relates to an ongoing one, in Peru... Needs more signatures I think:

I was in Cambridge last night, so sending greetings this morning from the @CambridgeUCU picket to @UEA_UCU #UCUstrike
Here's something I wrote about hatching plans with scientists (@js_simons and @cfernyhough) to think about what it feels like to remember things.

I just think I've looked after my armband pretty well. It's been used 8 times and it looks like it could manage more.
And a shout-out to Dunstan Roberts, not on Twitter I think, but in this pic!
Cambridge English on the pickets again, this time the one modernist outnumbered by Medieval and Renaissance @WhatLitKnows is here & in centre, heroic Dr Phil Knox, who resigned his Fellowship at Trinity after they pulled out of our pension scheme for spurious reasons. Bravo!
My second excellent exhibition in 48 hours.

He's more than just Whistlejacket. The painting of the Earl of Clarendon's gamekeeper with a dying doe is really something: metmuseum.org/art/collection…
I was really taken by all the design work alongside the paintings: marbled papers by Tirzah, Wedgwood china by Eric, etc.
The latest issue of Cambridge Quarterly has essays on 'we' in poetry by @eileen__sperry, @cspaide and me, and a response by Bonnie Costello: academic.oup.com/camqtly/iss…
Good to see this excellent and valuable project going from strength to strength!
