Great point by @snblickhan about being conscious of the way in which the term 'citizen' has become politicised and possibly exclusionary in relation to #CitizenScience projects. #DHOx2020
Starting off the day discussing the role of digital humanities in preserving lost heritage with the example of 3D modelling monuments/temples destroyed in wars. #DHOx2020
@andrewcusworth's talk on 'Recoding the past: Digital [re]mediation and the [re]modelling of history' has gone down a storm: 'deeply inspiring' 'brilliant' 'fascinating' 'incredibly enlightening'. If you'd like to watch it again/later, sign up at dhoxss.net #DHOx2020
The 'new normal' really sucks, but one of the best parts about attending courses online, is being able to knit while I learn.
"No act of encoding is neutral" Great line from Huw Jones regarding the Text Encoding Initiative #DHOx2020
As difficult at these times are, knowing that the @royalsociety were able to transform the legendary Summer Science Exhibition into #SummerScienceOnline is pretty spectacular, and means so many more people around the world get to see it!

Aww! You can always tell where the family is on the crowd! Glad my dad was able to tune in from all the way across the pond in Canada.
Everyone speaking at #HistSciFest has such nice backgrounds of bookcases and clean walls, due to the layout of my tiny flat, everyone gets to see my kitchen!
In about 45 minutes (4pm UK time), I'll be participating in a panel on New Perspectives on Women in the Life Sciences as part of the @BSHSNews Global Digital #HistSciFest, check it out! bshsfestival.org.uk/index.php/prog…

I'm so glad Home Cooking is back. @CiaoSamin has *the* best laugh, which fills me with warmth and joy, and I love the way she speaks about food.
Interesting piece in the Economist Intelligence podcast about gender, language and self-promotion in scientific papers. Based on this BMJ article - bmj.com/content/367/bm… podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cDov…
Just about to start the 2019 @OralHistorySoc conference, Oral History at work. Follow #OHatWork19 to follow along!
It is really nice to have a clear list of transphobic academics to block, avoid referencing/collaborating, etc. with. Handy!
