Data scientist by day and queen of Medieval Memes by night, Olivia Swarthout shares medieval art with the world via @WeirdMedieval Twitter and Instagram accounts. She uses her platform to debunk myths about how we view the past through humour that reveals how medieval people were, in many ways, just like us.

Born in Montana, USA, Olivia lived in Germany for many years before moving to the UK to study statistics at the University of Glasgow. She now lives and works in London.
