So grateful to have been able to tune in live online for one panel of this year's #StAndrews Book Conference #USTC23. Enjoyed three speakers talking about women publishers and stationers in early modern #France and #England #bookHistory. Sadly that's the only panel I'll be able to see with my #neuro illness so bad this year. But so grateful to have been able to watch. Huge thanks to the organisers for making it accessible to me. #streaming #accessibility #academia #StAndrewsUniversity

The drawback of reading Iain Banks’s “Raw Spirit” whisky tour book is I now have a very long list of whiskies I want to try! If we ever get back to the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh I will have to spend a long time - and a lot of money! - in their dedicated whisky bar. It is also marvellous reading more about whisky names I recognise from all the computers at St Andrews Computer Science back in the 1990s 🙂 #Scotch #whisky #Scotland #IainBanks #BalmoralHotel #StAndrewsUniversity #ComputerScience

Having a rather meta seminar experience this afternoon, watching a seminar on student note taking in 17th century mathematics lectures at St Andrews. Watched online with an audience in a mathematics lecture theatre at St Andrews where I had maths lectures in 1990 and 1991. I think one or two of my old lecturers are there.

He is one of the great troubadours of modern music; a man whose songs were as famous as those of The Beatles in the 1960s and whose legacy has been as influential on future generations.

Yet, unlike the Fab Four, Bob Dylan has always preferred to let his work do the talking – with an aversion to publicity which has often made Greta Garbo seem garrulous by comparison.

So what happened when he came to St Andrews in 2004? #bobdylan #StAndrewsUniversity #Scotland
