7.50am- Up, showered, and dressed- ready to tackle the busy Monday ahead 8.04am- No coffee can be had today because my beloved machine is not working (I am in the process of getting it fixed).

Hi I’m Emily and I’ll (hopefully) be finishing my PhD in July this year! I’m researching the impact of urbanisation on native plants and their insect pollinators.

Hi all! I am Laura (@duoluola on insta) from the Netherlands, currently in Spain, and I am writing a PhD on Chinese calligraphy – trying to connect different fields of practice that I think belong together. It’s been great, but now I am in the final phase of editing which is a bit less fun, and I am trying to tie […]
It has been a few months since I last documented one of my ‘typical’ days as a PhD student, the last one was in October to be exact. So here is my first ‘day in the life’ post of 2019! 7.54am– I am up and ready to leave. Just making a salad roll for lunch. 8.42am- I have been at work […]
