So I was recently promoted and I am now Professor of Death Studies in the Centre for Death and Society at the University of Bath.
This is a photo of me with my parents in 2006(!) when I won a Ph.D. dissertation award.
I wish I coud tell them all this but I think they know.

Massive thanks to intrepid Editor Matt Browne (@HappyFlaneur) and @mitpress for making this happen.

Today is my sister Julie's birthday and she would have been 49(!) which she wouldn't want me to say on twitter but I would have anyway just because I'm her older brother. This is us in Venice. Julie always side-eyed this photo since I wore my Jive Turkey t-shirt to Venice...
