I just sent a full draft of my PhD thesis to my supervisors for feedback. I’m at the stage where everything feels like a big milestone now!

And again.

Great life advice

I’m FINALLY planning two(!) hiking trips and I could not be happier. It’s been so long since I’ve been able to get out on the trail which has made this weird year even weirder. But things are looking up now ☺️

A lovely morning - despite the rain - welcoming guides from Peterborough Cathedral to see some of the cathedral’s early printed books & manuscripts, deposited here since 1970.

Finishing my PhD thesis. I have to wear this hat so it knows I’m in charge. #academicdaddy

I can’t figure out how to get the lid off my #adhd meds. Medically, I don’t have the patience for this.

Bring a Grown Up with a Job is writing an email to your boss who is sitting at a desk four feet away from you.

Here I am at #OxCamLib23 learning all about the West Hub, Cambridge library service. Imagine a library that isn’t quiet?!?! 🤯

Creating links between postdocs and PhD students is essential. Today was our first Hughes Hall doctoral network event and it was a great success! It was a pleasure to organise this with Ellie Greer and Ben Marshall.

Had a great time speaking Cambridge Assistant Library Staff Forum this afternoon! The other talks I heard were fantastic. Well done to the organisers 🎉

Academic induction day today at ⁦Hughes Hall⁩ where we welcomed our new students and got them thinking about what it means to be a Cambridge student. Really impressed with the creativity and insights they brought!
