Extremely excited that my article ‘The Pandemic's Legal Legacy: COVID-19, Global Health Regulation, and the Challenge of Political Will’ has been published in Volume 14 of the Manchester Review of Law, Crime and Ethics! Hopefully the first of many more! heinonline.org/HOL/homeHolT...

After a lovely dinner at the wonderful Clare College last night, it’s now time for a weekend of existentialism! @cam.ac.uk

Following @manchester.ac.uk’s victory in University Challenge, I am jumping on the bandwagon to share that I will be back at Manchester from September to study for a PhD in Bioethics and Medical Jurisprudence! Exciting times ahead! @uomlaw.bsky.social

Had great fun in Cambridge over the weekend, with my first formal at the wonderful Clare College, and then two whole days of Kant at Madingley Hall! @cam.ac.uk

Feeling very proud to have graduated from @manchester.ac.uk yesterday with my MA in Healthcare Ethics & Law - and with a Distinction, no less! I definitely think I suit a gown! @uomlaw.bsky.social @uomsoss.bsky.social

After an agonising wait, my MA dissertation result finally arrived today. I only went and got a distinction! 🥳

Sending love to the whole Jewish community tonight, especially to Heaton Park.

Appeal to #academicsky #PhDsky - if anyone can point me in the direction of any resources which might help with putting together a PhD proposal, I would be most grateful! Bonus points if it’s specific to #bioethics!

Official Cambridge postgrad selfie! Looking forward to being back in a couple of weeks for all things ancient philosophy!

Whatever mark my dissertation gets, I am pretty proud of myself for having written something quite this long! It’s almost like a proper little book! #ethics #healthcarelaw #ma

Just ‘Kant’ handle these Kant jokes… 😂

The bunnies know how to Bank Holiday!

Now that it’s all official: delighted that I will be studying the Philosophy PGCert from October at @cam.ac.uk! #philsky

Please tell me there are some other MA students out there currently experiencing dissertation-related existential crises! #postgrad #academicsky

Had a great day at the @uomlaw.bsky.social celebration of Margot Brazier event, which was excellent. 10/10. The M56, in my faithful little car without air con, was less excellent. 1/10.

I don’t necessarily object to #assisteddying as a concept, per se, provided that the legislation around it is sufficiently robust. This legislation is not. It’s a poorly drafted Bill, and the RCPsych has concerns about it in its current form. So, I am a little surprised by today’s outcome… 1/2

MA: 2/3 complete! Just the dissertation to go…

The current dissertation book pile! #ethics #philosophy #philsky

I rather like this!

Vetinari stirred his cocktail. Death watched, shaking the timer again. The last grain still refused to fall. "You must have seen the worst of us, as a species." The ex-Patrician said. BUT ALSO THE HEIGHTS TO WHICH YOU CAN SOAR Vetinari angled his head. "Really? Such as?" BUTTERED TOAST /1

Philosophers: what are your favourite works on philosophy of mind? I’m seeking recommendations on what I should read! #philsky

Well, this is just grim. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Four in 10 universities face financial challenges

A drop in international student numbers has driven the worsening financial position, a report says.

I was the only person who turned up for my #bioethics seminar today (well, and the tutor), so I got my own personal tutorial about cloning and GMO. I had great fun! (But, honestly, the youth of today… *rolls eyes*) #postgrad

The fact that my niece is getting into #DoctorWho, and this therefore makes me a cool auntie, is possibly the most exciting thing ever. I am hoping this will mean I have a comic con buddy for life!

Following #DoctorWho, what I really want to know is whether anyone out there actually own a Meep t-shirt…

An appeal to the world of #AcademicSky, #PhDSky, #PhilSky, and, indeed, anyone else: please send me your tips for writing a good abstract, other than just copy-and-pasting my conclusion at the top!

The sun can be a bit of a rarity in Manchester, but look how pretty it is when it does appear! @uniofmanchester.bsky.social

Who needs Oxbridge when you have #Manchester?! @uniofmanchester.bsky.social

Today at uni, I have had far too much fun being contrary and disagreeing with everyone! I do love a good argument! #bioethics
