Proofs! (always good to receive book proofs a few hours before going on annual leave...)

Gutted that I can't be at RAP2025 at The Clark in Massachusetts as originally planned today. I was invited to speak on a panel on "Case Histories" convened by Suzanne Hudson and Victoria Papa, but have sadly been unable to fly out due to circs beyond my control.

An appropriately gothic setting for the “Blood, Myth and Media” symposium today at Liverpool John Moores, convened by @beehughes.bsky.social and Stella Gaynor. Some great interdisciplinary papers on blood in horror, health, forensics, fashion and more.

Such a pleasure to present on how creativity is central to the work of @durhamimh.bsky.social at "Creativity in Research" hosted by South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust yesterday. A great day with some fascinating reflections on what 'creativity' signifies in an NHS context.

In a gloriously sunny Amsterdam for Creative-Critical Approaches to the Health Humanities, organised by Hannah van Hove (Vrije Universiteit Brussel). Programme here: perdu.nl/en/agenda/52...

In London this weekend? Don't miss the "Fertility Fortunes" (Mis)Conceptions exhibition, showcasing art by Anna Burel exploring fertility health, including the Tarot cards photographed here. There's a brilliant programme of events over the next few days: www.misconceptionsproject.org/exhibition
