So excited to have been installing my curator cabinet in the forthcoming @bodleian.ox.ac.uk exhibition Plain Things Wonders, all about woodlice! And even better I got to feature specimens from the @andy4040.bsky.social collection!

Here are two wonderful paintings about letters created by Gabriel Metsu (1629-1667), the Dutch master. There were both painted c1665. They are considered his greatest works. I’ve used software to digitally ‘restore’ these works to how they might have looked in the studio. I love colour!

🧵1) Having your favorite dinosaur be the T-Rex is often considered "basic," but for me, it's because it was the first dinosaur I ever saw, at the first museum I ever visited: The Academy of Natural Sciences.

Today in #museumlife I’m a day away from a bucket list trip & wrestling with something re:grant writing & AI that I can’t outline here. Let me just say: if anyone burns it all down—all the LLMs, data centers, environmental destruction & theft—while I’m gone? I’ll be a lot more likely to come back.
