✅️ First time at EAWOP complete!

While I am now home and jetlagged, I continue to think of the people I met with and the projects I heard about. Energized by knowing what problems and research questions people are pondering, along with how they're examining them and the results they're finding. 😄

I'm in Oxford for the month, and one highlight (of many) so far? Hearing Sara Ahmed lecture in person 😍
Sara Ahmed speaks at a lectern to people sitting in a theatre-style lecture with a PowerPoint shown on the projector screen behind.

Still thinking about this past weekend, in which I attended #SIOP24. It was my first time at SIOP, and everyone was lovely. Much appreciation for community. 💕

Plus, Chicago is beautiful! I only wish I had more time to explore it. Some photos from mini exploration times:
A beautiful blue dome can be seen in a decorative arched ceiling with a chandelier hanging from it. Various Chicago buildings, differing in height and style, can be seen bathed in golden light under a blue sky.

The cat in the photo is now asleep and curled up beside me as I work. 🥺 Very grateful for moments like these.

Taught today for the first time and feeling good! (Hopefully saying that doesn't jinx the rest of this course.)

A view from my commute earlier this morning. :)
White snow covers trees, both those without any leaves and those with pines. A dark river travels through the midst of these trees.

Prepped a PowerPoint for a meeting tomorrow

Stayed with friends this weekend, and they purposely chose to give me this mug to use. They know me very well. 🥰
A cream colored mug with the words "Never underestimate the power of a woman" in a green font with an illustration of orange, yellow, and red flowers underneath the text.

When it finally feels like fall outside.
Green trees stand on each side of a paved sidewalk covered in light brown and yellow leaves.

Because elsewhere in the world, celebrations have likely begun ❤ Happy MidAutumn Festival to those celebrating!

A little puppy therapy. 💕
Three puppies sit in a soft dog bed, two white ones peering at the camera while a white and black one has its back facing us. Multiple hands are petting them.

Took the afternoon to enjoy a local outdoor festival, along with try this pumpkin chai tiramisu 😍 I'll be working a bit tonight and tomorrow, but very much still trying to enjoy my weekend! #AcademicSky
Spices are sprinkled on a layer of cream of a piece of tiramisu sitting in a plastic container.

Most of my photos are blue as I love clouds and the water. This one was from a wedding I recently attended in Toronto. :)
A glass pyramidic building stands on the left with a field of lavender in front of it. To the right, there is a glass archway with white flowers on top, along with a nearby white tent and many rows of chairs. In front, the above blue sky and clouds along along some treeline are reflected in a square water fountain.

Spotted on a walk outside. Here's to a bit of sweetness (and resting my eyes) after having spent the last two days focused on revising a manuscript 🤞🏻#PsychSciSky #SocialPsych

When the end of August becomes prime time for exploration - and for data analysis as my student SPSS license expires in less than 7 days 😅 #SocialPsyc #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky
A car zooms away and down the road, with trees on either side of the street and a sunset reflected upon the clouds above.

My go-to social media is Twitter. Trying to break the habit by posting some things only on here. This seems fitting given the app; I took this photo while outside earlier this week. Despite feeling like it's crunch time with the end of term, I'm trying to enjoy summer as much as possible ☀️
Clouds swirl in the sky but some sunlight peeks out from behind. This is all reflected in the water below, with a green treeline in the distance.

Went to Boston for AOM, and it was amazing in so many ways. I loved hearing about research and meeting people - while also exploring the surrounding area when possible. Some photos from exploring the Boston Public Library today :)
A pale lion lays on the bannister of a staircase with paintings seen stretched on top of the marble walls. People study at copper-coloured tables with green lamps, with bookshelves, arched windows and an arched ceiling surrounding them. A fountain stands in the middle of a courtyard, surrounded by green grass and white flowers. Beige brick walls may also be noted with archways marking the path around the courtyard.
