I've been working with MALS (mals.org.au/) for a year now, and I'm really excited to be co-directing PALAIA (palaiamq.com) with some of my fellow MALS tutors and with the support of @TrevorEvans55. Hopefully we can help many students learn ancient languages!

Still time to enrol for the MALS Winter Week via mals.org.au, but the clock is ticking.
Spots still available in most Greek and Hieroglyphic Egyptian classes and in Advanced Latin.
Reposting a bit late, but there's still plenty of time to enrol in MALS. I'll be teaching Continuing Beginners Greek this time!
Any of MALS' programs are a really great way to spend one of your holiday weeks, if you can spare it!
Attention all ancient-languages enthusiasts.
The MALS Winter Week returns 8–12 July.

I am reading a peer review of a paper of mine - the reviewer claims that I have misunderstood Kasperski's argumentation from his paper published in Fruhmittelalterliche Studien. Good to know that I have misunderstood myself 😁

Today we are announcing a major breakthrough in the Vesuvius Challenge: we have read the first word from an unopened Herculaneum scroll.
The word is "πορφυρας" which means "purple dye" or "cloths of purple."

Congratulations to 21yo computer science student @LukeFarritor who is the first person to see this handwriting in nearly 2000 years. He has won the $40,000 First Letters prize for this world-historical achievement.
We are also awarding a $10,000 First Ink prize to @CJHandmer who was the first person to see ink and multiple letters within an unopened scroll. His work was the basis of Luke's ML model.
And @Youssef_M_Nader has won a $10,000 second-place First Letters prize for producing the clearest and most comprehensive images from inside a scroll yet.
This has been the dream of many people since the scrolls were first discovered in the 1750s. It is also the result of 20 years of work from Dr. Brent Seales and his team at EduceLab, whose years of dedicated work have made this last mile possible.
The $700,000 Vesuvius Challenge Grand Prize is now in sight. Who will claim it?
After twelve long years I graduated with a Bachelor of Ancient History from @mq_dha today.
Thank you deeply @malfy_c (pictured looking almost as relieved as I am!) for the warm wishes today, and for everything over the years.
Thanks also to @SusanLupack for your kind words. 1/2 – at Sydney, New South Wales
Most of all I need to thank @TrevorEvans55, without whose patience, guidance and friendship I wouldn't be here now.
Our keynote said education is like a gift as it can't be repaid, but encouraged us to pay it forward. I hope to do just that working with you in the future. 2/2 – at Sydney, New South Wales

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
