- Looks like my book 'The Transactioneer: Hans Sloane and the Rise of Public Natural History in Eighteenth-Century Britain' will finally be published by Johns Hopkins University Press later this year! Excited doesn't cover it!
- I have, at times, felt like I'm cursed - acute precarity, global pandemics, institutional cyberattacks, high staff turnover, and my all-round bad luck has meant this has been a very long time coming. But I'm absolutely thrilled that this research will finally be published! Better late than never!
