Did a thing. Quite chuffed with it.

The practice of medicine looked very different in the Middle Ages compared to today.
Dr Christina Lee @UoNEnglish @EngagedArts_UoN joins the @DrugDiscovNews podcast to discuss her research identifying suitable remedies used in medieval medical books. 🌿

It’s a great rabbit hole to go down, to be fair. Welsh accents in Shakespeare, worth a read:

That's it! Another Summer School over. We've had such a brilliant time - huge thanks to our @UoNEnglish colleagues for running engaging and inspiring sessions all week, and to our students for (as ever) throwing themselves into it all with gusto!
Time for a little lie down... 😴

Day 4! @beccagregs is talking to us about ‘Rewilding the namescape’ - wildcats and beavers and bears, oh my!

We're finishing the day in the best way, with a work-in-progress showcase. Our brilliant students have brought their work, ideas and plans to share, and we brought the bubbly and snacks 😉
Becca Gregory retweeted
We're ending our main programme for the day with a session from Prof. @louisejmullany, who has brought together politics and politeness for a very timely topic of 'Politics and Impoliteness at Work' (anybody for a General Election?)
