Proud to say our little conference was a huge success ❤️

A lovely group of students and I have been working very hard to bring this conference to life. Please share with your academic circles!

The snow is back and I've got a terrible cold but don't worry guys, I got the jumbo box.

Celebrated the part of my personality I'm most annoying about.

"But being Irish, and superstitious, we touch wood" - Emily Murphy in a letter to A. W. Coone of California.

I've been struggling to find hints of Murphy's Irishness and what it meant to her in her life and work, but it is appearing as a constant undertone on her personal correspondences.

I've had an amazing time in Edmonton working on my research but the best part was popping over to Calgary for the weekend and watching my friend living his absolute dream as the executive chef of an amazing restaurant 🥹 (being fed was also very nice)

And so it begins!
