Nothing quite beats the joy of opening a manuscript acceptance email. Even more exciting when you realise it is the last of the empirical studies from your PhD thesis to be published! 4 years post-viva and 3 jobs later, it is done! 🙂

I delivered the psychology taster lecture for the applicant visit day @universityofleeds.bsky.social today. Had fantastic questions from applicants & family members - really enjoyed the sessions. Getting the audience to find their blind spot is always a winner 😊 simple but effective demo!

New published Registered Report! People are talking a lot about 'psychological literacy' in psychology education, but how do psychology educators actually define this term? Is there agreement? & how is it integrated into practice? with @richharrisleeds.bsky.social ✨📝 psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

First lecture in the new job - done!
Were there technical issues? Yes.
Was I talking too fast due to a combination of being excited to talk about neuroanatomy and "first lecture in the new job" nerves? Also yes.
Was it a nice and engaged group? Yes 😊

Woohoo! A non-academic achievement to celebrate. I just do it for a club biscuit, but I do enjoy receiving a certificate and a pin badge 😁🙌 blood donations have saved my Mum and my brother's lives so I'd be silly not to give back (especially given I am a rare type!)
