Face-inating discussion with @fayboundalberti.bsky.social @michaelpollan.bsky.social #MaryCostello www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Thanks!

There is no male equivalent of resting bitch face - resting asshole face is not a thing. Why? Misogyny innit. It was great to speak to Melissa Denes for her brilliant article on moveable faces in film. observer.co.uk/culture/film...

Thanks to my lovely friends and colleagues and students who came to the launch of The Face last week. And to my Interface collaborators near and far who were unable to make it: a glass was raised 🙏

Thrilled that The Face is included in The Telegraph’s “Best Books of 2026 (so far)”! www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fi...

Men's faces are in the news - from Pete Hesgeth's chiseled jaw that conceals flimsier credentials to Trump's last-gasp hair and the is-he-or-isn't-he transformation of Jim Carrey. This is white male neoliberalism at its finest, as I wrote in my latest faces piece for @theguardian.com

Well that was rather wonderful and what a great book. Congratulations David! @kingschostm.bsky.social

“Who is feeding our children while we are making history?” That was Robert Chelsea’s question when asked about being the first African American face transplant recipient. Robert and I talked to Annie Kelly @todayinfocus.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/p/x4dd6m?CMP... #BlackHistoryMonth

Face blindness isn't well known and nor is its history. People with face blindness do *know* people - just not in the ways we are expected to! To find out more see the Telegraph magazine - out this Saturday. Photos Felicity McCabe www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02/22/living-with-face-blindness/

Hooray hooray publication day! Huge thanks to the team at Allen Lane 🐧
