Wow that rugby match was a bit spicy!

Had my end of 2nd year internal evaluation assessment today (written report, presentation, and mini viva with two examiners). It was lovely to talk about my research and I'm now fizzing with ideas for my final two studies...

Today is International Non-Binary People's Day. Did you know? The date was chosen because it sits exactly halfway between International Women's Day and International Men's Day, recognising that not everyone fits neatly into a binary understanding of gender. #InternationalNonBinaryPeoplesDay
