Long shot, but thought I'd try anyway: I'm applying for the Canada Postdoctoral Research Award program (SSHRC route) and I was wondering if anyone has had a successful application they'd be willing to share with me. It'd be really helpful to strengthen my application!!

just heard the good news that I've been awarded a Professional Development Grant from the Society of Spanish Researchers in the United Kingdom (SRUK/CERU) to support me in attending 4S in Toronto in October (as I'll be out of PhD funding!)

got my 4S abstract accepted!!!!

The latest US administration abhorrent anti immigration propaganda is a cheap vibe-coded web-dev-data-science-bootcamp-looking project with a very poor usage of the alien scifi visual aesthetic: www.whitehouse.gov/aliens/

Quite astonishing how @universitypress.cambridge.org will have an over £2k APC fee and then publish your paper with a typo in the title (no budget on those APC fees to have someone proofread before it goes online?) and also fail to link your supplementary material www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

it's all about "the numbers" until you realise no one has actually looked at "the numbers"

tried to write a critical interdisciplinary thesis and somehow ended up having to write a treatise on onto-epistemology. i'm NOT HAPPY

Songkick, a platform I've been using for I don't know how long to get notified of concerts, sends me an email letting me know my data is now property of Suno. No way to opt out as I read that Songkick is now owned by them. The linked contact form offers a sad "Delete Account" checkbox.

I'll be at the AI Music Studies conference (AIMS 2026 www.aims2026.com/programme) in two weeks, held at the University of Nottingham. I'll be giving two talks on Wed. April 1st:

Spain to regularise 500k undocumented migrants. This does not wash away the scandalous treatment undoc. migrants suffer through detention in "CIES" (Immigrant Detention Centres). However I am happy to see Spain taking these steps towards making the lives of migrants easier, especially at this time

El Gobierno pacta con Podemos aprobar una regularización extraordinaria de inmigrantes

El Consejo de Ministros dará luz verde a la medida que beneficiará a más de 500.000 personas. Podrán acogerse aquellas que acrediten estar en España antes del 31 de diciembre de 2025, carezcan de ante...

finally updated my personal website design and content teresapelinski.com . got lots of inspiration from sites in neocities.org , used some gifs from gifcities.org , also added a "/now" section (inspo from sive.rs/nowff) and a blog with rss. concept is "identifying as a netizen of the indieweb"

I miss the internet I grew up with: neopets, club penguin, those online games in minijuegos (the free version of WoW, I was made to believe), forums dedicated to my favourite videogames (NDS Animal Crossing!) and rol forums on my favourite wizard and vampire books at the time

happy international day of women and girls in science, technology, engineering and maths -- i only had 1 woman lecturer in my whole undergrad + master's degrees (5 years, physics & computer science) -- parity is also about representation, you want to study something you can feel part of

Drawing on traditions of artistic research and first-person research methods, Teresa develops the idea of "technical practice research": design- or engineering-related activities in an arts context, where the locus of knowledge production is in the doing and not just in the final result.

In the paper, we examine digital musical instrument design using ideas from STS, especially Pickering's "mangle of practice". The post-hoc stories found in research papers are often much tidier than how the design work really unfolded.
