It was great to be back in Providence with @RonitPrawer for my first visit to the Rhode Island School of Design. Fascinating conversations with the folks at the Center for Complexity, great to visit the Nature Lab and see some fantastic British portraiture at @RISDMuseum! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

This fabulous Roman sarcophagus is just one of a few to depict the Trojan War. You can see Achilles dragging Hector’s body around the walls, while Priam, Andromache, and Athena watch. @RISDMuseum #classics #antiquity
