I moved from a 100% teaching contract to a "traditional" research and teaching contract. It's been strange to get used to (in a good way). The good parts are having time to be think and to be intentional. The bad is that I have to be a lot more disciplined in prioritising my work

One of the things my close friends would always laugh about was when I'd say something that they didn't quite get what I was on about - they'd repeat it with an Irish accent and then apparently I made sense? 😅. Apparently using Irish-English with an English accent is confusing

Today I had a good hair day. (I still don't know if I should be embarrassed or proud that multiple students have told me they like my haircut 🤣)

It's been a whole year since my last chemo session. The stubbornness skills to keep going with something that's so hard that I learnt during my PhD are remarkably transferable to cancer treatment!

Hot take of the day: I miss getting to see the start of the next article in the old scans that's below the paper I was actually interested in!

Celebrating #EngineersWeek with DCU Engineering it's so much harder to talk about yourself than about electronics! My research is all about how we can teach engineering better and hopefully get more engineers through the pipeline CASTeL

We only went and won folks! My team has worked so hard and we've shown not only is an interdisciplinary course between Electronic Engineering and Law & Government possible(!), but it's exactly what we need to make the world a better place

Absolutely thrilled that our qualitative research paper "Investigating Student Approaches to Rearranging Circuit Diagrams" is available on early access before it's in the next issue of IEEE Transactions on Education ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10577… Dublin City University CASTeL Uni of Nottingham #WeAreUoN

Great to present at the Advance HE #tlconf24 on how we can support non-specialists engage in an engineering curriculum by using a mix of simulations and practicals to ease the steepness of the learning curve
