Doctorates are changing…

My blog reflecting on the @ukcge.bsky.social 9th International Conference on Professional & Practice Doctorates @royalcollegeofart.bsky.social. Many fascinating insights & lovely conversations with other delegates, including many PD candidates! electv.net/2025/04/11/t...

Heading home after a fascinating two days at the @ukcge.bsky.social conference at the @royalcollegeofart.bsky.social in London.

Plenty of valuable insights into professional and practice based doctorates from a variety of institutions & PD candidates!

Our Christmas cards arrived (slightly belatedly)! I finally chose Adobe to create this year’s version, though I spent a fun afternoon playing with image creation in DALL.E and Leonardo.Ai (my new favourite).

Enjoying playing with the new “Flow state” feature on Leonardo.Ai - a whole range of images from a single prompt & you can create similar styles. Not every image is perfect but made several gems! Creating astronaut images seems to be popular so I started with that…

Frost beside the pool, dusk, 2 degrees, wind chill of zero - but today was a great day for an outdoor swim in Edinburgh! #WinterSwim 😀😎🥶

Beautiful sky (there is blue sky behind the clouds) here in Edinburgh this week!
