Great few days w @emmakjackson.bsky.social and PhD & staff researchers at @uniofgalway.bsky.social Researcher Development Centre. Research topics included immortal jellyfish, online abuse of female academics and bovine methane emissions (only 5% from rear end! 😳). Really really enjoyable week!😁

End of a busy week! PM webinars with research staff at @warwickuniucu.bsky.social & @bristoluni.bsky.social, & PhD planning with @uniofgalwaylib.bsky.social. Edinburgh Saturday for the incredible Jodie Comer in Prima Facie - wow, so so powerful. Packing today for next week. Plus gym every day 😊

Spent a great day at Politecnico di Milano with Doctoral Candidates from UPCYCLE and DESIRE DNs discussing research collaboration & creating good supervision relationships. A very interesting cohort embarking on some fascinating research. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Ljubljana in 6 months!

“Completing a PhD is so much more than expressing the content of your ideas or being an expert in your field; it is about learning how to live as a scholar.” @academicdiary.bsky.social‬ reviews Rosie Doyle & @fraserfistral.bsky.social‬ ’s The PhD Handbook. buff.ly/N74MBWx

Really thrilled to have my review of the PhD Handbook in this edition of the magazine. Glad book reviews are making a comeback. It’s a wonderful book. @fraserfistral.bsky.social

You’re more than welcome, Jesse. It was a pleasure to meet you, good luck with your research!

Thank you very much for your engaging delivery! The tools felt both accessible and empowering. I look forward to applying them to my thesis and beyond. Thank you 😊

Really enjoyable week delivering project management training with @emmakjackson.bsky.social for #AAPS #CDT @uniofbath.bsky.social Extremely engaging cohorts, impressively insightful questions and a genuinely really nice experience! Looking forward to seeing everyone again online to pass the #CAPM

Today we completed this years #CAPM programme with iCAT Integrated Catalysis CDT based in @uniofmanchester.bsky.social . Was great to see so many people from this cohort but also attendees from previous years making the most of EPSRC CDT funding opportunities.

Happy International Women’s Day! My youngest during her internship at @esa.int earlier in the year 🚀 🌍 #WomenInSTEM #ProudDad

Heading home after a wonderful week at @ucc.ie ! Bespoke course for the UCC Campus Accommodation team followed by two great days with staff for an intro to project management sessions. Love coming here, the people are great and the campus is gorgeous 😍

At the airport heading to Ireland for a few days with researchers at the University of Galway. Always love visiting Ireland, especially the west coast!

Had a very enjoyable week with PhD students from @official-uom.bsky.social iCAT CDT. Excellent discussions about PhD planning but also the trials and tribulations of early career research.

Great day at @bristoluni.bsky.social contributing to the “Research In Practice” programme - PM Tools for Managing Your Research… basically turning the plan that got the funding, into a plan that works day-to-day. Really nice group and very enjoyable 😁 #research #resdev #projectmanagement

Really looking forward to this event next week hosted by the inimitable @academicdiary.bsky.social 😃

If you are a PhD student in Glasgow on the 7th Feb come to this event. The PhD Handbook is a brilliantly useful book… a notebook, intellectual manual and companion all in one.

Originally developed as support during COVID, we are still offering free access to a set of “Introduction to Project Management” videos to support PhD/ECR staff and students. Visit www.fistraltraining.com/fistral-vide... #PhD #PhDChat #PhDLife
