Not even a “warm altercation” over the Bishop of Lincoln trying to vote about bread in Birmingham while not being in appropriately ceremonial garments can drag me back to working this afternoon

I’m now overexcited from The Knife In The Book incident and can’t focus. I need a wee lie down and a biscuit.

Professional achievement unlocked: at the @britishlibrary today working on a bit of the Gentleman’s Magazine from 1801 which is so obscure that even the BL’s copy had uncut pages - had to get a nice chap at the desk to use his very official-looking knife on it.

.@AndrewStruan said that the award was thanks to their team and supporters, so naturally I assumed this meant that as a supporter I was entitled to take the award itself home and he stopped me, which I just think is logically inconsistent and I WILL be speaking to HR about it

Still elated from seeing pals, colleagues, and all round lovely folks at @UofGSLD win a very richly-deserved national award last night for their amazing work with our students! They’re the hardest-working team on campus and frankly need to stop showing the rest of us up.

We won!! @UofGlasgow @UofGSLD #HeraldHEDs

In a packed room for @AndrewStruan and the @UofGSLD team to start the Student Learning Development Doors Open Day to hear about all the writing, study, and research enhancement work the team does (also to hear all the 2000s cultural references made to engage millennial academics)

It was an honour to receive our #QAPrize from Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace today. This highest national Honour was awarded in recognition of the work of our world leading Centre for Robert Burns Studies. Read more: https://t.co/9Sfo7BPISq @QAPrizes @GlasgowBurns

Today is the day! Head along to @UofGARC for hand-on activities and exhibits for all ages, as part of #Explorathon23 and @Glasgowdodf. Activities will run 12-3pm and it’s FREE

This is Johanna in October 2009 at the launch of the printed HT, and a photo she took in 2008 (when we were finalising the first edition dataset) of a note which made her laugh out loud. You can read more about her later academic career at https://t.co/sMZ8SXxxNQ

We are saddened to hear the news of Dr Johanna Green. During her PhD Johanna edited a number of sections of the Thesaurus, most notably Judgement, where she applied her expertise from her PhD. She was a friendly, funny & conscientious presence in the HT office for a long time.

J had some suggestions for charities for folk to donate to should they wish to remember her - please go to https://t.co/Y2TBD0Fa4f and consider donating if you can.

Johanna and I did our PhDs together, jobshared a postdoc for 3 years, and taught together for a decade: she was smart, determined, funny, warm, kind– and fierce when something wasn’t right. I’m in awe at the just how many lives she touched around the world. She is deeply missed.

Many congratulations to my @UofGCritStudies colleague @jhstuartsmith for her richly deserved election as a Fellow of the British Academy.

We are heartbroken to hear of the loss of Johanna Green. A much loved colleague, extraordinary teacher and friend. Sending all our love to Johanna’s family and friends and all who loved her. She was a wonderful and warm person - one of a kind.

Johanna Green, July 21st 1983-July 20th 2023. It is with heavy hearts we mourn the loss of an exceptional teacher, scholar, and friend. Johanna's legacy will forever live on in the hearts of those she touched.
