After 5 years and some technicalities, I can finally say that I contributed a chapter in the multi-volume “Manuscripts, Plants, and Remedies in the Mediterranean Traditions: Studies across Disciplines for Alain Touwaide” (DeGruyterBrill). You can find my chapter in this 👇 volume. 😃😃

Dissertation Update: I now get the “staring at one sentence for a long period of time” and that the methodology can really trigger all the feelings.

My name is Jack. I woke daddy up at 3:10am, then woke momma up at 4:20am. Momma fed me but I decided to start fighting enthusiastically with my sisters. I then decided at 8:30 am to puke all over the house and now I’m causing trouble biting, showing my belly, and chewing my feather toy. 😸

In the #Roman necropolis at Wehringen, a physician was buried with a set of surgical instruments, a stone palette, and a bronze medicine box with a sliding lid and separate compartments for storing medical substances. The compartments still contained remnants...🧵 1/2 🏺 #archaeology AncientBluesky
A photo of a bronze medical kit. The kit consists of a rectangular bronze box with various compartments and a sliding lid.
Several bronze surgical instruments, such as scalpels, and tweezers are displayed next to the case. A stone palette and another bronze tool, a spatula, lies below.

Today’s thoughts are on seasonal mortality and my curiosity is if this can be mapped with previous and new data. 🤔 #dissertationthoughts

At a workshop this afternoon & received great advice from someone I look up to, “find the interest…passion…drive it, even if it’s a stupid question at first…mine was ‘why are ancient doctors so weird?’.” Guess my diss. idea isn’t so stupid after all, “why can’t we prove ancient contagion theory?”

It is the end (or at least coming to) of an era; I’ve had a few students now ask me what my comments on their papers say…they’re in cursive…gasp! Anyone else see this as a more frequent thing?

Cat naps can be comfy for some and uncomfy, locked muscles and bones, painful moments for others.

Last night, I got to explain what a bath bomb was to an older border control officer. He was fascinated that the color and glitter don’t stick to the user. I suggested that they’re great stocking stuffers, and he was thrilled by the idea. This made my day. 😄
