New paper with Dr Hannah Slack! There's a lot of literature on PhD wellbeing and academic staff wellbeing, but what about people who straddle this border? We explored the experiences of Graduate Teaching Assistants and show how complex this identity can be tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our PhD student, @WhyteEmi, was successful in gaining a Magnus Magnusson Award to create a film/theatre production about the issues affecting care experienced young people in Scotland. A very well done to Emily!!!

Unbelievably proud of two of my co-researchers Jess (she/her) & Kirsty Hughes, for successfully completing their undergraduate BSc Psychology courses! Unbelievable that we started this PhD journey nearly 3 years ago, with the pair of you now off to graduate!

So immensely grateful for all the opportunities to learn and develop as a young academic, made possible through this role. Let’s get more young people involved in research!

HELL YEAH SHE WILL BE!

As much as seeing & hearing myself makes me cringe 😬 We really need more young people to join #health studies in #Scotland to make research relevant to their lives & needs. Sadly only 1% of our members are under 18 😢 gen.scot Generation Scotland

Can't quite believe next week might be my last time mentoring my young person through MCR Pathways in Glasgow due to funding. Keeping all my fingers crossed for an outcome that keeps the coordinators in Glasgow schools and allows mentoring to continue across the local authority!

Officially drafted all 8 chapters of my PhD thesis in full. There's still a whole round of editing and a final conclusions chapter on the horizon, but that full draft deadline in August is looking less daunting by the day. Feeling proud!

Being back in my gown to celebrate our GCUPsychology graduates this week has been such a delight! Every single student graduation is a unique inspirational journey and a demonstration of resilience. Don’t forget your individual achievement amongst the crowds!

Unbelievably thrilled to announce I have submitted my PhD Thesis. It has been a long and non-conventional journey but I couldn't be prouder of myself and the co-researchers. I look forward to sharing this work with you as myself and the co-researchers work on publishing!
