      I'm surprised Dr. Peterson isn't wearing cloth gloves when handling such rare artefacts.

        Yes, I wondered about that too. But this would be at the discretion of the university, particularly when an international academic is a visiting Fellow (which I think he is now).

        This reminded me of something....John Eliot Gardiner reading/touching original texts associated with Bach, including scores, without gloves: at 11:45 here and elsewhere in this documentary:

          It seems Dr. Peterson is in Cambridge for their first Multidisciplinary Seminar, not as yet as a Fellow.

            Dr. Peterson has tweeted this today.

            I held the same position at Harvard as Timothy Leary, 60's LSD guru. Remember "tune in, turn on, drop out"? My version, for the chaotic 20's: "Tune in. Turn on. Grow up." That phrasing would have saved us a lot of trouble.
