OK. It's happening, and I can finally talk openly about it (a thread). I have decided to transfer from my #PhD into a #Masters degree. I'm currently writing my thesis - I'm due to submit in October. And I want to talk about it, because we don't talk about this enough.

Today I graduated from my Master of Teaching (Secondary) Internship 👩‍🎓. Though these last two years have been incredibly challenging, going back to Uni (for the upteenth time!) was the best decision I ever made ⭐️ ⬇️

For the last two years I have worked as a paraprofessional teacher, teaching (mostly) science in Melbourne’s West. Some highlights include designing and teaching a Year 10 Chem elective this year, taking on VCE Bio and getting to teach Year 7s fresh into secondary school 👩🏻‍🔬⬇️

Surprise! I think of Midnights as a complete concept album, with those 13 songs forming a full picture of the intensities of that mystifying, mad hour. However! There were other songs we wrote on our journey to find that magic 13. taylor.lnk.to/taylorswiftmid…

Do recommend getting stuck into a pomodoro session before the numbers come out though - much better than my old “refresh until they appear” strategy
Double vaxxed (and prepared with all the snacks) 👍🏻 Please #GetVaccinated - we have access to two safe and effective vaccines 💉

I’m a few days late, but maybe I’ll join in on this #SciCommSeptember challenge now that I’m working on #scicomm in a whole new way - teaching!

I've been looking forward to today! What is your favourite STEM fact? Doesn't have to be from your field.. just has to be a fact that you think is awesome (and is you know.. factual)! #SciCommSeptember

💉 I got my #Pfizer as a teacher who works with vulnerable students. It’s been a bit unclear what paperwork/proof has been required, so I went in happy to get AZ if needed. I didn’t get my letter from my school in time, but took a letter from my GP and my teacher ID and it was 👍🏻

This has been a huge decision and I’m so excited to get started with @EduMelb @unimelb - this course is a bit different to your standard teaching degree, and will allow me to actually work as a teacher, in a school, while I complete my studies (perfect for career changers!)

Last week was my last week @biomelb - I've learnt so much this past year, and am so grateful for the chance to develop my communications skills in a small, tight-knit team. ⭐️ Some big changes are on the horizon - I'll keep you all posted! 💁‍♀️
