The Deutsches Museum in Munich

My new office for the year ❤️ #HistSci #HistTech #HistSTM

Bike parking at a station in Munich—reminiscent of those we have in the Netherlands.

First day in Munich and („you can take the girl out of the Netherlands but you cannot take the Netherlands out of the girl“ 🇳🇱) I’m already loving it ❤️🚴

Thank you :)

Aw, thanks Thony! I will miss both of you too! But I'll be back. Munich is only 2 hours away 🙂

But I am a sucker for late medieval and Renaissance history 😭

Vielen Dank 🙂

I'm sure it does, haha, but I'm going for the objects (or better yet, for the screws) 😍

I'll do my best! 🙂 Though Munich doesn't have as many old buildings as Nuremberg.

Goodbye Nuremberg! ❤️ You were wonderful!

I'm all for more academic content on here! ❤️

I have yet to experience a "quiet" coach, despite me always booking a seat in it to work in peace. There's always someone having a phone call ("it won't take long"), whose kid's playing a videogame on speaker ("it's a child"), or people chatting loudly ("if it bothers you, go sit elsewhere").

When life gives you woodworms, go ahead and decorate the holes!

Yes, it's a magical place!

Home ❤️ I grew up with this #Medievalsky church & have seen its use change over time: I've celebrated Carnival here, marvelled at a snake exhibit, and stored my bike there. But its present use is hands down my favorite—celebrating both books & he historical structure within which they are housed 🗃️ 📚

Great, I’ll bring my sleeping bag! 👯‍♀️

Can I set up camp here while writing my dissertation dealing with craft history? ❤️

5 Classes I took as an undergrad:

1. History of Ideas, Philosophy & Ethics
2. Knowledge and Criticism (History of Science)
3. History of Technology
4. Philosophy of Mind
5. Sociology of Science (independent study)

These were coupled w/ (required) research & writing skills-training classes.

Absolutely!

God, I hope not! Keeping all fingers, toes and everything crossed for you!

Oh no! Is there no way of finding out if it is?

Haha, thank you for this! :)

Link?

Where does the author claim that?

Fiction....

Daniel Kehlmann's book "Lichtspiel"

Oh, that sounds like just the thing. I just got this one, which probably isn't light reading (I haven't started yet; still finishing another book), but the New York Times Book Review listed it on their top 5 fiction books of 2025.

Yes, I'd like to read more novels, but when I've been reading all day for my dissertation, I prefer doing something else.

I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to be insensitive!

Where do you find the time to read all of this—tell me your secret! I'm lucky if I can ever read all of the literature related to my dissertation 😭

Attends @astrolabe-science.fr vous avez dit "calibre de vis." Je ne sais pas exactement quand ces outils ont été développés pour la 1ère fois. Je n’ai jamais vu un exemple historique (j’en ai un modèle moderne à la maison). @aliceernoult.bsky.social savez-vous de quelle période viennent ces outils ?

Merci David. Voir mes deux réponses :)
