Just when I thought my working life couldn’t get busier… I was offered a job and was asked to start within a week! Starting work straight away meant I had to work while also finalising all of my tutoring and marking, and it just so happened that while I was learning the ropes of my new job, I was also […]
Dr of what turned 3, which is surely at least 10 years in blog years? I can’t believe that I had a little idea to document my PhD journey through a blog and on Instagram three years ago, and that it has grown so much since then.
