Thrilled to share what I’ve been working on at Yale-NUS: Biodiversity Stories, a collection of essays by student authors on the fascinating cultural and environmental histories of non-native species in Singapore. juncture-digital.org/Digital-Schola…

Peachy PhD!! #PLANTS & their PRODUCTS: #BIOCULTURAL #COLLECTIONS @ #KEW_GARDENS & #SOUTH_KENSINGTON #MUSEUM in 19TH CENTURY Fully funded studentship, supervised by Felix Driver @Valeriani_S & @CarolineCornis1 More: royalholloway.ac.uk/studying-here/… @V_and_A @Kew_LAA @musgalhistgroup

In a crushing blow to free speech, @Cambridge_Uni is asking a High Court for an injunction *through February 2030* to arrest anyone who protests on certain properties "in connection with @cam4palestine or otherwise for a purpose connected with the Palestine-Israel Conflict."

New open access paper exploring the scale and heterogeneity of Hans Sloane's botanical collections, the de facto foundation collection of the @NHM_London London #herbarium and the largest pre-Linnaean botanical collection in existence: doi.org/10.1080/147720…

This is how we wish “Happy Lunar New Year” at SIGNIFY! Here we showcase a range of ‘red’ specimens that we have digitised in our project. Swipe to identify the specimens! 🦀🔴 Happy Lunar New Year🍊☺️

✨We are DELIGHTED to release the Term Card for Lent Term 2025✨ Join us for a fascinating set of papers every Thursday between 14:30-15:30 UKT at Room 3 in the Faculty of History.

How do we understand our heritage when the specimens that once defined it are scattered across the globe? In homecoming, we’re bringing Singapore specimens housed in museums worldwide back home, through the @signifynathist project. Stay tuned for more information! 👀

Just enamored with the @ScienceCentreSG's new carnivorous plant exhibit! Thank you @jamieuywrites for the tour 🍃🪰

We are advertising two fabulous jobs at the Cambridge University Herbarium. A Collections Manager (5 year fixed term) and a Collections & Digitisation Assistant (4 years fixed term). Incredible collection including most of Voyage of the Beagle material. Job links in thread below.

On 15 Nov do join @Kew_LAA @AuroraPrehn @LondonArchives to explore plants and trade in the Victorian Port of London. Lots of documents and objects to see and discuss. Book ahead: thelondonarchives.org/whats-on/plant…

Herbarium? is a project I recently completed. The idea and material collecting process started in 2022 when I was looking into early modern pressed plants as a small part of my PhD research. You can now see the creative project through the link: jessiewhchen.wixsite.com/madebyjessiewh…

What a joy to be back at Harvard for the opening of Measuring Difference! My hugest thanks to @gabrielasotolav for asking me to be part of the curatorial team with the wonderful Manny Medrano and Francis Newman, and to everyone at @harvardchsi and @HarvardMuseums

Measuring Difference exhibit opens 10/20. Measurement is everywhere, but measurements are human inventions. Using examples from across the Americas, this exhibit illustrates what—and who—was measured. Visit FREE 11 am - 4pm Sunday through Friday. tinyurl.com/MeasuringDiffe…

Roughly 25 Harvard professors conducted a silent study-in at Widener Library on Wednesday to protest the library’s decision to temporarily ban pro-Palestine students who held a similar demonstration last month. @tillyrobin and @neilhshah15 report. thecrimson.com/article/2024/1…

What a pleasure to hear from a dynamic community of scholars and museum professionals at Artefacts XXIX! And of course to visit the @sciencemuseum for the first - but certainly not last - time

I had a wonderful time presenting and learning about different approaches to archives and libraries of natural history at the @LinneanSociety yesterday! My thanks to @CILIP_LIHG and @SHNHSocNatHist for organising a brilliant conference.

What do H.G. Wells and the Little Shop of Horrors have to say about the state of #botany and #plantsciences? My article on the interwoven histories of botany and the strange orchid is finally out: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… #hgwells #littleshopofhorrors #nofungitoday

Graduated in July with my MPhil in Digital Humanities! With many thanks to @CamDigHum and @Gates_Cambridge
