Kicking off the #AIMConference with a fangirl moment, meeting John Homer, @BCLivingMuseum’s 1920’s Grandad. His TikToks make genuine & deep connections and have long featured in my #digitalskills training.

@EmmaChaplin9 @LaingArtGallery @NPGLondon I caught this at the @NPGLondon and loved it too. What a woman!

📢#HeritageJobs Thinking about a change in 2024? I'm lucky enough to Co-Chair this extraordinary place. We're hiring a Director - is that you? Or do you know someone who might be just the person we're looking for? Please share... #ArchaeologyJobs #ArtsJobs

@museums_yvonne @Culture24 @janefinnis @thatmuseumguy @anouskaspiers @zakmensah @katiprice @roslawler @audienceagents Thank you for your support and wise counsel Yvonne, and I so appreciate the time & energy you gave us too. #trustee #superwoman

It’s been a huge privilege to be chair of @Culture24 and support the team to reach this point. Thanks to @janefinnis @AnraKennedy and @thatmuseumguy and my fellow trustees @anouskaspiers @zakmensah @katiprice @roslawler and Rob Yates and to @audienceagents team 🙏🏻

@Eilish_McGu @HeritageFundUK @Heritage_NGOs @josiefraser @j_chevallier @NKorn @Jennyw_MT @heritage_lizzie @TheCCT @Conservators_UK @nationaltrust @ChawtonHouse @NatHistShips @Wentworth_House @amadigital I love how at every heritage conference I attend, I hear about the supportive and collaborative nature of our sector. It was highlighted by the brilliant @AnraKennedy (@Culture24) showcasing the power of peer to peer learning. #ReflectShareInspire

What an amazing group of people & topics. Genomes, deep space, the Anthropocene, empathy in healthcare & of course museums & digitally literate leadership. Framing these conversations w @rossparry @vargasl @janefinnis & Institute for Digital Culture was a privilege. #lovemyjob

After a long gap, I am back on twitter!

At last! A new @MuseumCrush email digest heads out later this week with loads of tempting museum objects and stories - like this Tibetan human thigh bone flute from the irresistibly veiled museum of @rncmlive Subscribe museumcrush.org/email-digest/
