MSc, MEd, MA & PhD candidate at @UCL_IOE, with a research focus in multimodality and assessment in HE; Educational developer at the Karolinska Institutet. All opinions are my own. Website: https://multimodalstudy.wordpress.com/
From Groningen and the #12ICOM conference, organised by Janina Wildfeuer @neous.bsky.social and her team, to the quiet at home. It's a privilege to meet and discuss with other #multimodal researchers across the world. Then, a walk in the woods with my dog and time to reflect provides balance.

What a busy week! But I'm back to 30 min of running/walking in the morning and that feels good even if I'm out of shape.

I write and I write. I've restructured chapter 7 and reframed chapter 8. It's like domino. You change one thing and all the rest moves (or falls). How I wish I could have done a PhD by publication, if only because you cannot be asked to reframe what has already been published. #PhDlife #AcademicSky

This week I've given presentations on AI in HE, and been evacuated from a train, amongst other things. But summer is here and the birds are singing.

Back from London the woods are more fabulous than ever.

Back to work and #research tomorrow but I've had some glorious days off. Nature, my dogs and time outdoors balance that other key part of my life which is my work and research @ioe.bsky.social

I've been focusing on getting my #PhD thesis document in shape for a full read by my supervisors @ioe.bsky.social. Now things feel strange - a mix of being adrift and on holiday. I've slept longer, minded my chickens, walked the dogs, normal non-writing-at-all-hours things. #AcademicSky #PhDlife

I'm still writing but spring comes anyway with promise and cherry flowers and busy bees and nesting birds.

The time it takes to #write and #rewrite a research monography is extensive (understatement), and you sit, sit, sit on a chair all day. So, in between stretches of writing I made some plum and rhubarb jam. The writing is slow but I feel good about the jam. #AcadmicSky #PhDlife @ioe.bsky.social

In between polishing and proofreading my thesis text I made a cake. I feel quite proud. #phdlife #AcademicSky

I have company when I write. That is, I sit on a hard chair and stare at a screen and type. Harry cuddles in an armchair nearby

Colour ... I like colour

The news is depressing. I take comfort in moments of beauty and continue with my #writing, working to make my #PhD #research at UCL IOE contribute something positive to the world @ioe.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk #AcademicSky @academic-chatter.bsky.social @academic-chatter.bsky.social

I'm placing one metaphorical foot before the other #writing up my #PhD #thesis at UCL IOE about assessment of multimodal text in HE. I've also 1 accepted article 1 book chapter neither are included in the thesis #AcademicSky @ioe.bsky.social @thephdplace.bsky.social @academic-chatter.bsky.social

Through my #research I hope to contribute something to making the world a little bit better. Not that it will do much for the weather.

Snow, winter and #PhD #writing is what my life is about at the moment. #research

I took a break around lunch and went skiing. Absolutely wonderful. And I've sent off my thesis draft for feedback on my rewritten chapter 7, which means I can think about other things for now. #phdlife #AcademicSky @academic-chatter.bsky.social

l have so many thoughts and ideas after the AI@KI conference today.

Starting my day with tea , candle light and traditional Swedish #Lucia on tv.

Day 9 of #ReserchAdvent and challenges I've faced include going around in circles with my #PhD #thesis writing. Very frustrating. I remind myself that there are other dimensions to reality as well beyond #research and #writing. Outside my window are deer, red squirrels and birds.

It snowed again. So that's one thing. Then I'm writing and working on arguments and sub-arguments in my #PhD #thesis @ioe.bsky.social. Slippery work. I think I have it sorted- then I add data extracts and realise that 'no this doesn't quite work'. Hoping to sort out one chapter today. #AcademicSky

The snow keeps coming and roads and rails are blocked. I'll be working from home today.

I took a break from #PhD #writing and went to Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. Hard winds just suddenly whipped into the harbour on the way there. Quite a spectacular backdrop to the exhibition on Romanticism. And now I'm back, ready to write again. #AcademicSky #AcademicChatter #PhDChatter
