Oh my goodness I'd love a new learning manager to help us whip an exciting new education programme into shape! Do you have the skills? @FitzMuseum_UK @FitzMuseumEduca are pretty great!!! Deadline 2nd Jan jobs.theguardian.com/job/8767657/le…

This is such a lovely fundraising idea from @wisbechmuseum . Any artists out there interested to contribute?

@MirandaStearn @friezeofficial Would have loved to have seen you but sadly have a busy week ahead. Enjoy @friezeofficial

Planning some autumn art viewing. I'll be @friezeofficial 12 October if anyone fancies catching up?

@ward_esme This podcast was very highly ranked a few weeks ago and yes, shameless plug, is produced by my daughter. Eight episodes if you get hooked: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

@jeremysallis Very best of luck in your next chapter Jeremy. Thank you for all your support of our work at the Fitz over the years. X

Today marks my last official day with the BBC. I leave without regret, and grateful for the opportunities and for the friends I’ve made over 21 years. Even got dressed up to celebrate! (PS but didn’t go to the Ritz)

@alexandrabulat @HilCoxCondron @CambsCC This was my granddaughter enjoying that same space in May. She goes regularly to her library in Australia and felt very at home

This morning I visited Cambridge Central Library as Vice-Chair of Communities @CambsCC to see their popular story time activities - and found one book in Romanian! Really proud of the work of our libraries team including the recent award as Libraries of Sanctuary.

Today I saw the Uni bus pass Queen’s College heading for Eddington - why can’t the students be accommodated there? Wildlife lovers fear for nature reserve threatened by Cambridge university building theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/a…

Please see this 🧵about The Girlfriends, podcast produced by @AnnaSinfield - first two episodes came out today …..

Met friend yesterday whose daughter has just completed her 1st year of medical training. Apparently a huge proportion of 5th year medics are heading for Australia. Shouldn’t #NHSWorkforcePlan consider pay/better working conditions/life-work balance for retention of our students?

@iamkristinesr @theUL Fantastic news Kristine - what an amazing role 👏🏻

I am delighted to share that today is my first day as Head of Conservation & Heritage for Cambridge University Libraries. I am looking forward to familiarising myself with the wonderful @theUL building, community and collections, and to joining an expert conservation team!

@JenniAuthor @RaeSnape I painted those very cakes once - yellow was the tastiest!

May I ask ⁦@sainsburys⁩ why, in peak UK #asparagus season, their Eddington branch “in season” veg section only stocked asparagus from Mexico and Peru today? Should you not #supportbritishfarmers and consider #airmiles?

I thought Mo Mowlam was a wonderful woman who always spoke plainly but intelligently. I only found out way after her passing that her brain tumour was a grade 4 astrocytoma. It was said that she lost her inhibitions due to this & that this was a significant reason... 1/2 #GFA25

Just watching #InMemoryofMaudie & the raw grief of Jason and Clara is heartbreaking. Anyone who has suffered the loss of a child, as we have, will recognise their pain. How brave to make this documentary to raise awareness of #sepsis

An excellent, honest, straightforward account of the BBC’s ‘crisis’, from the BBC itself, naturally. You won’t find anything in the rest of the media as good as this: yet another reason why the UK and the world needs the BBC to be strong & self-confident. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-649292…

This is heinous. The BBC is censoring not only itself, but David Attenborough, by pulling an episode of its new flagship series on British wildlife as it focuses on UK wildlife declines... in case it upsets right-wing politicans and media. #WildIsles theguardian.com/media/2023/mar…

I am going to donate to @BrittenSinfonia to help them #PlayOn. For several years @FitzMuseumEduca collaborated with the orchestra and the Britten Sinfonia Academy. Here is a blog I wrote: museums.cam.ac.uk/blog/2019/05/1…
