That's a wrap on #eabs25 / #isbl25. Thank you all for a wonderful and inspiring conference. I got to meet incredibly smart new people, reconnected with wonderful colleagues, partied hard every night, (without ever having a hangover #verygrownup) and learned so much. Successful conference I'd say!

Photo of an outdoor stage. The German metalband "Powerwolf" is on stage. The staging behind them shows a big wolf, holding a sword, in front of a fiery red background.
I didn't have "attend a metal concert" on my conference-bingo-card, but seize the moment, as they say, I guess.
Seeing Powerwolf live last night was great and with their whole "we celebrate concert as a mass"-concept astoundingly on topic for a bunch of new Testament scholars 😅 #eabs25 / #isbl25

Picture of me sitting up front in a seminar room, presenting next to the starting slide of my PowerPoint. Title of the presentation is: the unseen Mary: a Jewish mother's struggles in mark's gospel
Yep, still love presenting.
This was fun!
Thank you to the SBL unit on the Gospel of Mark for letting me put Mary in her context as a Jewish woman, mother and most likely widow in 1st century Galilee.

Good morning! It's presentation day for me at #eabs25 / #isbl25 in Uppsala.
Picture into the main hall of Uppsala university. On the stage there is the starting page of a PowerPoint telling us that we are at an event of SBL and EABS.
Let's get this started! Opening session of #eabs25 / #isbl25 at the University of Uppsala in this gem of a main hall.
Not experiencing any FOMO at all over here while everyone sets off to EABS/ISBL in Uppsala this week....

Evening dusk with a sky that goes from blue to orange. Just that the picture was taken at 22:30 today. A time where I've never experienced daylight before.
Stockholm at 22:30 tonight. My brain definitely cannot comprehend this. - so, since it wasn't dark yet, I used the time to work after sightseeing. Spent 90 minutes on footnotes and Literature for my paper/PowerPoint. Buuut now my #eabs25 / #isbl25 presentation is as good as ready!! 🥳🥳
View out of the plane over water and islands of Sweden
Hello Sweden, you beauty!! 😍😍 I feel extremely lucky to spend the next week here. First to explore Stockholm with friends and colleagues until Monday and then to attend #isbl25 / #eabs25 in Uppsala.
What does one do in Stockholm on midsommar eve by the way? I'm grateful for all and any tips!
My paper is 5 minutes too long!! 20 minutes really isn't enough time to talk about Mary in her socio-cultural context 😫 #eabs25 #isbl25 #sbl
