Just gave my first keynote.

And thus one of my weirder childhood fantasies has been fulfilled: I am a sorceress, a necromancer. I wrest utterances from the void. I raise the dead. 📜🔬🪄👻😜 #OBNS_MISHA #BookScience #MedievalManuscripts

New #introduction: I’m the Mark Andrews Fellow in Book Science at OBNS (Old Books New Science) Lab, University of Toronto, and a #MedievalManuscripts scholar and cataloguer. My research mainly focuses on later #medieval European #manuscripts with an emphasis on scientific and #quantitative methods, #materiality, and provenance studies. 📚 📜 🔬 📊

Visiting you this year was a great honour and pleasure, Cambridge University Library and Girton College. Thank you for everything.
Now that I’m settled back on the other side of the pond, I have news:

From 01 September, I return to University of Toronto’s Old Books New Science Lab as the Mark Andrews Fellow in Book Science.
Watch this space! 📚📜🔬📊

@juliesbits Hello and welcome!! I joined Mastodon a little over a month ago — and landed in c.im simply because it was a general interest instance that was accepting new people when I started looking into alternatives to my other social media site.
I’ve thought about migrating to a new instance. But, honestly my tastes are so eclectic. There is no instance of nerds interested in: #CatholicTheology #BookPublishingIndustry #Books #BookEditing #Grammar #History #MedievalManuscripts #ChurchHistory #AcademicTheology #Liturgy #Photography #LocalNews
And I’ve mostly found a welcoming group of people here. So here I’m staying. At least for now! 😉

Today our lab—University of Toronto’s Old Books New Science Lab (in which I am a postdoc)—was featured on CBC Radio‬⁩:
