Just looked back at my initial PhD proposal to see if there was something that I could use as inspiration for the thesis introduction, and the answer is... no, there isn't 😅

Today's the day! #YorCCA

Most people in academia feel like an imposter at some point. But feeling like an imposter does not mean you are an imposter. Look at the facts. @phdcomics #impostersyndrome

A river of daffodils at #UniofYork

Today it's the crocuses' time to shine #FlowerFriday

The weather has been dreadful today, but at least the day finished in style.

Good morning friends! Sending you all a big hug on this Friday morning. Today I will be trying to remember that even small acts of kindness and love matter—and to do a few.

I took this course a few years ago, and it gave me a whole new perspective on phonetics in interaction. If you're interested in phonetics and conversation analysis, I highly recommend it!

Richard Ogden@richardogden.bsky.social · 2y ago

I'm running an on-line course on the phonetics of talk-in-interaction in June with @marinanc.bsky.social. More information from this link: www.york.ac.uk/business/cpd...

Is getting a PhD like driving? After passing your test, you can drive (mostly safely), but you’re not great at it right away (I almost crashed in the first week). Now, five years later, I’m a decent driver—so, will I peak here or am I still improving? If it’s not like driving, what analogy fits?
