I will remember the day of July 7 (7-7-2017!) for a long time – the day that I successfully defended my PhD in Digital Media. My deep appreciation goes to my advisor at the University of Porto, Professor José Azevedo, and my co-advisor at the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum, Robert Costello. I am also grateful for the insightful comments and discussion promoted by the jury at the defense: Professor Pedro Casaleiro, Professor Ana Delicado, Professor Nuno Correia and Professor António Coelho. Read about my doctoral studies at the Research page and download the thesis at the Publications page.

The Cultural Programs of the National Academy of Sciences offers one of my favorite monthly events in Washington DC. DASER – the DC Art and Science Evening Rendezvous – promotes interdisciplinary networking between professionals that live at the crossroad of art and science and fosters great dialogue about current projects. Participating in a DASER panel was a fantastic experience and wonderful opportunity to talk about Skin & Bones in the context of a broader discussion about museums and digital media in the 21st century. See the video!

It’s that time to go to the Museums and the Web annual conference, this year in Chicago. It is one of the best for everything related to museums and technology.

It is very rewarding to read the positive comments about the app in such noteworthy publication. Upon Skin & Bones release many other online news came out, including at Gizmodo and LiveScience.

Anyone with an iPhone, iPad or iPod can now download from the App store and enjoy the rich content about 13 skeletons on display at the Bone Hall, at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.
