Objects that are out to kill you, what to do when you are in charge of private view budgets, #purplegloveclub, temporary contracts, #girlboss - we break down life and careers in the museum world on the latest @AskAnArch podcast! #listennow #episodeGuid=askanarchaeologist.podbean.com%2Fs3e2-ask-an-archaeologist-interview-with-terri-dendy-and-kristin-hussey-27a20a88250a8c974a27043086aa52fc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/ask…

@HollyEvanMarie Coming back round to something we talked about earlier in the year - I'm a curator with a PhD, but not because of my PhD theministryofcuriosity.blogspot.com/2018/05/on-phd…

can I just say this? MUSEUMS ARE NOT ALT-AC. They don’t want Ph.Ds with no museum training.

Stuck for last minute Christmas present ideas? Don't go to Oxford Street - go to a museum shop! A great piece in @TimeOutLondon on awesome finds in London's museum shops! timeout.com/london/news/th…

‘Do you have a list of green objects? Could you send us a list of everything you have that is yellow?’ - curating with Wes Anderson 😂😂 news.artnet.com/exhibitions/we…

Check out our back catalogue for museum loving, opinions and a bit of sass theministryofcuriosity.blogspot.com/?m=1

REMINDER: If you cite museum specimens in publications, let us know and send us a copy. WE LINK YOUR RESEARCH TO OUR COLLECTION FOREVER. It's like super important to science.

@UniRdg_MusStudy 😂 exactly!!!

@CuriosityTweet Yes! I'm probably mis-remembering the quote from Friends but I always tell my students about this using the one where Ross gets a pager and Phoebe yells "Dinosaur emergency! They're all still dead!" Then I have to explain the concept of a pager.

While we do believe that museums change lives and we know museum professionals are the most enthusiastic and committed, be sure to make a little distance between yourself and your work. We aren't brain surgeons - no one is going to die. Your best is enough. #WorldMentalHealthDay

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay - so take some time to look after yourselves. Get away from your desk and into the ☀. Reach out to a friend and ask how they are doing (especially if they seem like they have it all together). And always always ask for help if you need it.

Feminism, curating in a conservative organisation and how the museum is not neutral 💪theculturetrip.com/europe/united-…
