Very excited that the first episode of the Materials Unlocked podcast I've been working on comes out today!! Featuring the brilliant Kathy Christofidou and two of our fantastic students!!

Making my thesis seems to be a purgatory of redoing and redoing SEM images, until I go mad and inevitably just use the first one I collected 6 months ago anyway 🤷‍♀️ #phdlife #materials

As an avid podcast listener, I can't tell you how exciting (and strange) it is to see your own podcast appear in the app. Second episode out today!! Pleasure to talk to Iain Todd FREng and Dr Dave Bowden from UK Atomic Energy Authority with Frances Livera

Just finished the first draft of my lit review for my thesis, it would really help me out if no one could publish anything on AM of HEAs for the next few months... 🤷‍♀️😉

Lit review's just been sent to my supervisor to read, pretty sure I might have sent my brain along with it... But YEY! Another step closer to the dreaded hand in 😳

I forgot to bring my laptop to work today. I don't have a PC. I hand in my thesis next week, so I think my brain has stopped functioning for anything not metal related? 😭 #phdlife

This just popped up as a memory on my phone. Don't know what I was so happy about but at least I look really cool while doing it #additivemanufacturing #phdlife #womeninSTEM #Engineering

A bit of light weekend reading.... #phdlife #Thesis

Super proud of Fran Synnott and Josh delivering two fantastic presentations on oxidation of superalloys and ML in materials design respectively at #TMS2024.

It's #InternationalWomensDay so here's a recent pic of a couple of gals doing science and loving life. #phdlife #WomensDay #womeninSTEM #phdchat

Proud to say I've just submitted my thesis today. It's been a long slog and I'm so happy to have finished writing! And on #IWD2024 as well 👩🏼‍🔬 Thank you to my brilliant supervisors Prof Russell Goodall and Iain Todd FREng for all the support! #phd #phdlife #engineering

It's International Women's Day ... so here's our little video celebrating a small selections of our female movers and shakers from the Royce Discovery Centre youtu.be/LZjC1hV9rcg

Congratulations to Lucy and Frances who both chose #InternationalWomensDay to submit their thesis! Both of these incredible women's research has been centred around #AddititveManufacturing and working at the RDC. Fantastic achievement ladies! 🍾🥂

New Paper Friday!!! Check out our new paper on using ML for alloy design. Super proud of Joshua Berry and all his hard work on this. doi.org/10.1002/adem.2…

It was really fun being on the podcast and talking about loads and loads of different types of sample testing! 👩🏼‍🔬🔬

Back in the normal hosting chair for this episode of Materials Unlocked. This time I got to talk about Sample Testing with Professor Russell Goodall and Lucy Farquhar (who, since recording, has submitted her PhD Thesis!! Congratulations!!).

I followed Nigel Farage on and off for 10 years. When all's said and done about his standing in Clacton, milkshake incident etc, he remains at the end of the day one of the most repugnant shameless liars in UK history. Some of his standout lesser-known lies I've compiled FTR 🧵
