Can we take a moment to admire the extraordinary attention to detail in the costuming for #WolfHall from the incredible designer Joanna Eatwell? A flawless interpretation of Jane Seymour’s bonnet and gown from the Whitehall Mural 🙌

I have five invite codes for BlueSky in case anyone needs one?

it's wild that R, the ubiquitous statistical computing language, was co-created by a Māori prof (Ross Ihaka) — and yet the vast majority of scientists who use R don't know this is like inventing the toaster. possibly the largest impact of a single member of an indigenous community on modern science

since the DH world is here: Who else has a full-blown "DH dissertation" that was finished *after* 2017 (aka after me, @walshbr.bsky.social, @literaturegeek.bsky.social, @amandalicastro.bsky.social, @halperta.bsky.social, etc finished our PhD programs)

As part of Open Access Week, Ben Tiven (from Library Stack) and Amy Ballmer (from Pratt Libraries) and I are talking about open access + knowledge sharing — and discussing our new collab OA project, my Reparative Redaction booklet — this Thursday at 3pm ET on Zoom! pratt.libcal.com/event/11454430

So excited to have been working on this project — check out MapReader via the link below! I never won any real big prizes for my DH projects before so this is a big one for me 🎉🎉🎉

Just returned to my dissertation for the first time since my defense/viva in January 2022, as I'm preparing one chapter for potential publication, and it is both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. Monstrous feelings!

Microsoft Research has two new applied scientist positions to work with Hanna Wallach's team on identifying, measuring, and mitigating potential harms caused by generative AI systems: jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/jo... jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/jo...

Mini-thread! It’s publication day for Tudor Networks of Power, which I co-wrote with Sebastian Ahnert. We are really proud of this book, which brings methods from network science to the study of 130k early modern letters But it’s not just a book! global.oup.com/academic/pro... 1/8

A 21 year old undergrad played a key role in this major breakthrough for the Herculaneum Scrolls project (one of the coolest DH projects NEH has funded). Luke Farritor, from U Nebraska-Lincoln, was the first person to uncover a full word from a 2000 year old scroll. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
