#NTUDoctoral Conference closed with a #FameLab session featuring 5 diverse presentations on piezoelectric technology, healthier homes, material culture and furniture use, the gut microbiome and pancreatic cancer, and understanding the mystery of Tau proteins and their role in cancer. #Inspiring

#NTUDoctoral snapshots - I feel after these two days that the future is in good hands. I listened to research today on everything from early Alzheimer’s diagnosis for adults with Down syndrome to understanding the behaviour of specific proteins associated with forms of cancer. #AcademicChatter

#NTUDoctoral Research Showcase - lots of conversation, research sharing, and excitement about the different PhD projects being undertaken by our #doctoral researchers. #Interdisciplinary networking in action! #PhDchat #AcademicChatter

Rich presentations this afternoon, on the ethical, emotional, personal implications of researching communities - especially those we are part of and identify strongly with. Can we - should we - be impartial, or can our partiality strengthen research impact? #ethics #communityresearch #NTUDoctoral

Feliciano Domingos presenting his research on bioaccoustics - understanding marine sound landscapes to explore the effects of noise pollution on the behaviour and stress to marine animals. Can we communicate with marine life through understanding how they use sound? #NTUDoctoral #marineresearch #PhD

Oluwasegun Apejoye presenting his systematic review looking at using machine learning to protect cyber networks and home devices which are vulnerable to hacking. Can Network Intrusion Detection Systems help keep us safe? #cybercrime #machinelearning #stopthebots @ntudoctoralschool.bsky.social

@ntudoctoralschool.bsky.social is hosting our annual 2-day PGR Research Conference in Nottingham, with 50 PGR presenting their research and thinking about #interdisciplinarity. Kicked off with Prof Andy Newton talking about the need for collaborative approaches to solving big problems. #PhDchat

Sitting outside in the warm sunshine, eating my lunch and admiring my blueberry plants. Hard to be inside working today. Spring is such a hopeful season - not sure I fully appreciated it until I moved to the UK. #springthaw #sunnydays #vitaminD

Such a great day inducting a new cohort of #UfNCollaboratory #PhD students into our doctoral training programme, alongside their PhD and community supervisors. Getting the project teams and research off to a strong start, facilitated by the #NCCPE (thanks Zoe and Laura!) @mattjaywhy.bsky.social

Chris Bryant and Peter Kyle need to #DoTheRightThing and protect authors' work from being stolen and pirated by #Meta #RespectAuthorsWork #MetaBookThieves #StopThieves

Spent a couple of days in March with @laurenjnixon.bsky.social at #IlamHallYHA in the #PeakDistrict running a 2-day retreat for NTU PhD students. Everyone got a lot of good work done, but the best part for many was the opportunity to meet new peers & friends #PhDchat #worklifebalance #writingretreat

So very true. #janeausten #mansplaining #introvert
