Every Monday (not Bank holidays) at 11.30 and 14.00 the @V_and_A National Art Library staff give a free talk about an item in their collection.
This morning Vicky Worsfold presented Maria Sibylla Merian's Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium (1705).

Providing access and research support to users is one of our key roles, so it is a pleasure to be part of the induction weeks of the new MSc and MRes students from @imperialcollege and @ucl embarking on their courses with @NHM_London as they progress in their scientific careers.
Happy birthday @MarDixon Dixon 🎂
Miss you so very much 😘
Thought I should try to use one of the daft things I’d picked up from your memorial to mark the day. I know my work was one of your favourite museums, so it felt fitting 😂🤣
#RememberingMar it was wonderful and emotional to come together yesterday to celebrate the impact the @MarDixon has had on our lives ❤️💔

Made the decision to move to @bluesky. No longer comfortable with the X / Twitter / Musk world ☹️

Lovely to see my book, The Kind Librarian, is rippling out already.
We need more kindness and although my book is about libraries a lot of it can transfer to other scenarios.

Due to an operation I’m being given a small, temporary window into disability. Yesterday was my first significant trip out. Thank you @RHSWisley & @RHSLibraries for your calm (dry) spaces, wonderful volunteers, wheelchairs, smooth paths & pick up service.
How to relax and recover on a warm day, after an operation?
Be passed an ice cream, stay on the sofa, do as you are told and tune into @AnimalHistories conference
