Major in English, minors in French and women's studies. Now I'm a multispectral imaging technician at a major university. My English degree introduced me to manuscripts, codicology, and paleography, and helps me translate science info to humanist colleagues. #iwasanenglishmajor

Re-found this spider squashed inside a book from 1492 when checking a reference. First time we saw it, we meant to ask if any scientists out there are interested in doing #DNA analysis of #insects, #flies, #moths, #spiders etc we have found in ancient books or MSS. If so, DM us.

We're happy to report that as of today we have a temporary office set up! As archival recovery continues and mutual aid efforts are still deeply needed, our team is working around the clock right now. Need help or have help to give? Go to appalshop.org/floodsupport.
I’ve left academia, and we’re moving next week to coastal Massachusetts, our happy place. If anyone needs editing/copy editing/proofreading on a writing project, academic or otherwise, please let me know as I’m eager to delve into publishing services. Here’s to a fresh start!
