Was a real pleasure to be at @lundsuniversitet.bsky.social again with *such* a lovely group of people. Energised about my own contribution thanks to the brilliant work and discussion of colleagues.

Excited to return to Lund @lundsuniversitet.bsky.social for the second installment of the project led by Drs Catrin Williams and Wally Cirafesi on 'The Gospel of John and Early Jewish – Christian Relations.' Now to put the finishing touches on my own paper on Origen and Cyril of Alexandria...

That feeling when you can finally deal with the last of a string of deadlines and the light at the end of the tunnel is at long last in sight...

Consider applying to join my dear friend and colleague Dr Lavinia Cerioni on her research project at Sapienza!

Thanks to the lovely participants in the Biblical Studies and Patristics Research Seminar @durhamtheology.bsky.social for a super session today. Feedback on my paper on the female exegesis of Methodius of Olympus' Symposium was so helpful and incisive! Such a pleasure.

My dear New Testament Studies colleagues, there is a job opportunity for a full professor at my former faculty. The job ad reads a bit cryptic, but if you have questions, you can send me a pm. Please share widely. www.uni-leipzig.de/en/universit...

I was really glad to write this obituary for Professor Dame Averil Cameron: www.theguardian.com/books/2026/a.... I wish more had been done to celebrate her contributions and achievements since she retired. She will be much missed! www.theguardian.com/books/2026/a...

Congrats, @hannatervanotko.bsky.social! This looks fab, and I can't wait to read it.

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

#DigitalHumanities PhD position

Earlier this month, I was joined by colleagues from across Europe @chesterbeatty.bsky.social for a seminar on 'home' and CB's late antique artefacts. Very thoughtful papers and rich discussion. Grateful for the investment of all involved on this @researchireland.ie New foundations project.

McMaster university is hiring an Associate Professor or Professor with Tenur of History and Medicine. They are looking for someone whose work bridges humanities-based historical inquiry and contemporary infectious diseases scholarship. #histmed #histstm

There’s two weeks left to apply for this position. I appreciate everyone who has shared this so far. If anyone has questions about the position, then please contact me.

Warsaw Late Antique Seminar on Thursday, 12 March (4.45 p.m.): Aaron Butts (Hamburg), 'The Connected Histories of Ethiopic and Syriac Christians'. In person and on line.

Over the next two days, we'll hear papers from @sarahparkhouse.bsky.social, @mbinzurich.bsky.social, @kelsbot.bsky.social and Jill Unkel, Nils Korsvoll, Christos Tsirogiannis, Rebecca Usherwood, and myself and Daniele Pevarello.

This is on tomorrow and Wednesday! Join us @chesterbeatty.bsky.social at 10am (both days) if you're in Dublin and into material culture, late antiquity, ideas about 'home,' or Beatty himself.

Super energized by student presentations in my Paul module today. A few who have yet to speak in class began participating after they presented their work. Also, each group found a way to riff on the first group's designation of the community in Corinth as Paul's 'problem child'! Love it

Cool new colour, but also big congrats to @sarahparkhouse.bsky.social!

Working on a book review assignment for my undergraduate module on the Gospels. Best new (and accessible) books on the Gospels, synoptics and John? Help please! Self promotion also welcome.

finally submitted that long overdue book review. now I can...tackle that stack of corrections....😩

Cambridge Elements do not get reviewed often (I guess the format is to blame) so I am even more chuffed to see Louise Blanke discussing Monasticism and the City in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages for JMMS. Really honored by such kind words from a giant in our field!

Every so often I wonder if I'm overreacting for committing to no more US travel under the current regime (I'm Canadian and usually go to a few conferences a year) And then something else like this happens Sorry folks, it's virtual talks only for the time being.

Bit of news here: genaut.univie.ac.at/?p=1595 @erc.europa.eu #ERCCoG

Just put the finishing touches (for now) on a co-authored piece that I quite literally could never have written without the specific expertise of my co-author. Feeling totally invigorated, and looking forward to the next opportunity to collaborate in this way.
