Yesterday, after 3.5 years of work, I passed my doctoral defence. I'd like to kindly request that from now on everyone refer to me as "The Doctor". I'm looking forward to receiving my Tardis and embarking on wacky adventures through space and time. That's how this works, right?
Just watched Spielberg's West Side Story having never seen the musical, and the film seemed to me to be a story about toxic masculinity and women knowing better. Is this a modern take, or was Romeo and Juliet always about toxic masculinity? #WestSideStory
Just finished binge listening to #thetrojanhorseaffair podcast from @serial. Highly, highly recommend it. Everyone should listen.
Astonishing lack of interest amongst UK journalists about questions raised by The Trojan Horse Affair, and even less desire to put those questions to @michaelgove. I wonder why that is.
Very happy to share our new open access paper investigating the cognitive functions of slow instrumental music practice, with @cwoellner journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

Drove all the way from Hamburg to Copenhagen specially to see @sindhuvfunny....on the wrong day.
Some pleasant accidental alliterations I found in my own writing today:
1) "making musical material more manageable"
2) "a matter of millimetres in magnitude"
Apparently a theme of my writing style is "mmmm..."
Can anyone in #musicscience explain why my sister's baby can be soothed to sleep during a tantrum by putting on rap music? #music #babies #psychology

Thanks to everyone who came to my presentation at #isps2021 today on Effects of attentional focus in violin tone production. It was great to have so many questions! looking forward to the rest of the programme. I may even stay up past midnight.
Very excited to share this new publication which is part of my PhD work! We looked at how a psychological performance technique (attentional focus) might affect a sound producing action (violin bowing), using motion capture, electromyography and MIR.
New study: Effects of attentional focus in violin playing - acoustical, physiological and physical tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… Well done, Emma!
The macaroni pie: a seriously deliscious Scottish assault on 'Italian' food, second only in offensiveness to deep fried, battered pizza. Almost makes me feel patriotic.
I'm having to ban myself from listening to Billie Eilish's Happier than Ever (the album) because the earworms are out of control.
New paper out on the effects of attentional focus instructions on motor performance and physiology in violin bow control, with @cwoellner. #musicscience #musiceducation #performancescience journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
And another great talk from SloMo colleague, and one of the winners of best presentation award, David Hammerschmidt this morning, , looking at effects of chronotype and arousal on spontaneous motor tempo. Well done David! #icmpcescom21 #musicscience #rhythm
