What was our favourite thing in the fascinating new exhibition about science at Versailles which opened at the @sciencemuseum last night? Has to be the Indian rhinoceros that lived in the palace menagerie until dying in mysterious circumstances in the Revolution. sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/ver…

Today I got my author copy of 'Cultivating Futures Thinking in Museums', ed. by Kristin Alford. By sheer fluke that means I've had four books published this year to which I've contributed essays or chapters, which makes me seem far more productive than I feel.
