Using X-ray CT imaging to look under the surface of an ancient Egyptian mummy mask @britishmuseum

@nebulousflynn Gutted to hear this Tom. You've been a fantastic and inspirational advocate for 3D in the heritage sector, as well as being so supportive of our work at the BM. I very much hope we have the opportunity to work together in the future and all the best for what comes next 👏👏👏

Sad to say that, just shy of 7 years at Sketchfab, I'm part of the Epic Games layoffs. Not sure what's next for me / what it means the cultural heritage program, but for now I'm just letting it sink in. Any suggestions for remote work related to 3D + museum-y stuff welcome 🙏

Proud 🤩.Daniel O'Flynn (@danoflynn) of @britishmuseum will be one of the speakers during the 2023 CWI lectures on Digital Cultural Heritage 16/11. Don't miss his lecture "X-ray imaging, perspectives from the British Museum." ➡️More info + registration: cwi.nl/en/events/cwi-…

.@isisneutronmuon are taking a deep look into the past! ⏰ With the help of Egyptologists from @BritishMuseum scientists have led pioneering research into 2,500-year-old ancient Egyptian lizard mummies. 🔬🦎 Find out more with the link below. 👇 ukri.org/news/isis-neut…

Using neutron tomography, researchers @danoflynn, Anna Fedrigo, @lperucchetti, and @aurelia_masson uncovered ancient Egyptian lizard mummies sealed inside animal metal coffins nature.com/articles/s4159…

Three of the 'animal coffins' were uncovered in a sacred cache at #Naukratis, along numerous finds, including 100 other similar containers topped with lizards, snakes and eels figures, but also this lovely #Egyptian mongoose 'mummy case' #Animal #mummies

Taking a look inside ancient Egyptian animal coffins... the @britishmuseum used neutrons at ISIS to look inside objects that were 1500 years old. This video shows what they saw inside the lizard coffin... Full article in @SciReports: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Very happy to share our new research uncovering ancient Egyptian lizard mummies sealed inside metal coffins, a collab with my fab colleagues at STFC/British Museum, Anna Fedrigo, @lperucchetti and @aurelia_masson nature.com/articles/s4159…

@DEJPett 👎😡

@danoflynn Thank you captain photon! Are your machines working again yet?

I joined @HistoricEngland today to lead on digital strategy for the next few years. Lots of good challenges to be taken on, and positive change to implement. (As I've got no pictures of an office, here's Oskar and Isabella at Stonehenge.) #NewJob

In this episode of the CRASH! podcast, we hear from @AshkanPakzad, @danoflynn and Julie Dawson 🎧 They're not radiologists, but experts in their field that have embraced computed tomography among other imaging techniques in their research! Listen now: rcr.ac.uk/college/rcr-le…

So - exciting news! Next week I start a new postdoc at the British Museum in London! Looking forward to doing image analysis on ancient egyptian animal mummies 🥳

#Museum30 Day 2 #WhoAmI? I'm the @britishmuseum's Colour Scientist🌈 I am based in the department of #ScientificResearch where I am one of a team of 14 permanent scientists! That’s me on the right of the photo with the #CodexTonindeye & visiting researcher, Davide Domenici.

@TimLeachWriter Many congratulations Tim! x

Overjoyed to make the shortlist - had a little cry when the news came through... Huge congrats to the rest of the shortlist and the longlist, it's a tremendous line up!

📢📢📢I'M HIRING! Want to join our team @britishmuseum #ScientificResearch? We are looking for a research assistant to develop protocols for the analysis of writing media (#inks) on none other than the Roman wooden tablets from #Vindolanda😃More info here: bmrecruit.ciphr-irecruit.com//templates/CIP…

Do you have inksperience? 😉 Come and work with me @britishmuseum using #imaging and #Raman to look at some of the world’s oldest “postcards”! Just ONE WEEK left to apply!! (Ink puns inkcluded…I’ll get my coat) 😀

@nebulousflynn @JoanneDyer_BM Cheers Tom, great to see you and thanks for the inspiring talk 🍻

Very grateful to @danoflynn and @JoanneDyer_BM for the tour of the BM’s X-ray ct, multi band, and RTI imaging facilities - clever people using great tools to answer interesting questions 👌✨
