PhD? More like "Phew, Done!" ✌️ I'm hitting pause on my research to focus on the most important project of all: being a mum! πŸΌπŸ‘Ά Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way – it’s been a wild ride! Looking forward to the next chapter. πŸ’•

It's that time of year when I start to populate the interview schedule for @einstein_agogo on @3RRRFM. So if you know somebody who would be a good guest, DM me. PhDs, ECRs particularly welcome. Would love to hear from more geologists this year too.

When someone has paper published or wins an award or gets promoted you only see the final success. You don't see the earlier rejections, revisions and setbacks. You might assume they found it easy but that is rarely so. @sylviaduckworth #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc #gradschool

A fantastic event and ran to perfection! Great job @MAPP_postgrads πŸ‘ – at Melbourne, Victoria
An absolutely outstanding night of trivia, hosted by the MAPP HDR committee! Lots of fun, food and friends. At times, tensions were high, but our winners have very much deserved their bragging rights, including our very own head of department @gr_drummond! #MAPPtrivia2023
