So it turns out that Egyptology is a discipline of databases! Something for (almost) every niche -- check out this list and be amazed :-)
Tobias Konrad and I prepared a Bibliography of Egyptological databases and datasets to give an overview of publicly available databases in Egyptology(past and present).Description: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10691… Library: zotero.org/groups/4851156/ Corrections/additions highly appreciated
Our work re-configuring narratology for Egyptology has just hit the press in open access! Very exciting! widmaier-verlag.de/index.php…
Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia) will offer up to 10 full-time research positions within the Macquarie University Research Fellowship (MQRF) Scheme, to commence 2025. PM me if you want application details! @mq_dha
Beyond excited that my new work on pedagogic practice in Ancient Egypt has just appeared in JEA and is open access: journals-sagepub-com.simsrad…. Spoiler: I think I found a new type of scribal exercise... ;-)

For this #WorldTeachersDay, here's an Egyptian writing board in the MET's collection. The apprentice scribe is clearly fumbling with imperfectly formed, unevenly spaced hieroglyphs... which is probably what my @egittologiaPISA students are struggling with now 🙃

There is a comet (67P) of which every area is named after an Egyptian god! space.com/29980-rosetta-come…. Fascinatingly, some names are not arbitrary, e.g., Hapi for the middle section (like the Nile). The probe giving us information about the comet is, tellingly, called 'Rosetta' <3
I just signed the petition to federal and state education ministers (in Australia) to support university governance reform. Do you want to sign too? :-) nteu.au/News_Articles/Nation…

How to study Ancient Egyptian metaphor? Check out my article in the new Special Issue of Metaphor and the Social World :-)
There's more cool data in this issue - @DiBiaseDyson take Ancient Egyptian religious texts to reflect on methodological challenges encountered in the study of ancient texts - as well as more evidence for #metaphoricity regarding the conceptualisation of deities.
