Did a lunch and learn about my PhD research-in-progress for @cilip.bsky.social ARLG today. Not many questions but I think it went well, it’s nice to try to find ways to take something complex and translate it to different audiences.
Thanks to @craigmartinucl.bsky.social for setting it up! #PhDSky

It was really hard to get a picture of but it was draped throughout the whole atrium… I’d love to go back, it was such a great museum I agree. Lovely and calm.

Mark is playing Microsoft Flight Simulator so of course I made him find my office! Look, it’s the Portico! Okay granted they have done extra work on London but no one can deny this is UCL :)

I always forget until I pick up the pen again how much drawing helps quiet my brain. Was 100% out of all brain for the day and then I sat and drew, reduced my stress levels immensely! Posca pens are my new favourite toy.

When the emails are coming in faster than you can answer them and you want to get your head down on campus without interruption for a bit… what do you do? Hide in a corner of the stacks of course! Only possible in the summer, but isn’t it nice! #library #UCLlibraries #oncampus

Just sent my final Tweet. Account will be deactivated tomorrow. Been through this morning and saved or screenshotted lots of memories. Feeling quite sad to say goodbye but it’s the right thing to do. Here’s a cute dinosaur I built while I was poorly to cheer everyone up :)

Chatting about my ontology/epistemology problems with my brother was super helpful. He asked ChatGPT what it thought. Not bad. He then asked it to define constructivism in the form of a @Metallica song and it was too good not to share! I haven’t laughed so hard in ages! #PhDLife
