The Autopsies group were delighted that Claire Ross and Ernesto Priego chronicled our study day on 'Yesterday's objects' with their real-time tweeting. They have both kindly allowed us to reproduce their Twitter feeds here in order to allow the speakers, audience members and everyone else who were unable to attend to relive the day's proceedings, and to enjoy a wonderful array of thoughts, links to other projects, and comments from Twitter users from around the world. As Ernesto remarked, 'how awesome is it that people in other continents were 'following' what was happening and commenting.' Thank you to you both for opening our little event up to such a wide audience and for providing such a lively account of the day.
As pointed out by @clairey_ross, there's only two of us with laptops in the audience.
