I wrote a blog post about my current research on the lives of the assistants of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich @ROGAstronomers @RMGreenwich. What do you think about the title? "Music and Murder under the Midnight Sky" The story does include music, murder, and the night sky. https://twitter.com/BALHNews/status/1331564094051266561
