Excited to announce the launch of the FYC Podcast, The Scoop on SoTL. This podcast aims to reinvigorate a culture of scholarship both within my college/institution as well as beyond! Through the sharing of ideas we can all improve in some ways. youtu.be/lQXAZPJgm3E#VU
More enthusiastic sharing over lunch about learning and teaching in the VU Block Model - this time from a panel of talented First Year College staff who are now our experts/leaders in residence #VUFYB#VUFYM#studentsuccess

People truly agonise over their PhDs. Actual agonies of doubt & anxiety. When I read a thesis as an examiner I am always struck by the immense achievement & the investment of care. It concerns me that perhaps the authors never truly recognise what they have created #PhDLife
Down to single digits. I oddly don't feel stressed... which in turn has made me stress. Literally making work for myself at this point out of paranoia haha #9daystogo#phdchat#gradschoolproblems

Getting by and denial, delusions and faith at this point #phdchat#phdlife
My 3-year-old daughter said she wanted to be a professor, so I asked her what professors do. "Talk to each other, drink wine, and put trees on their heads." Sounds about right.
10 weeks until my PhD is due. Working diligently and making edits every day. Becoming fearful that my computer isn’t going to make it. Not only has my soul slowed down but so has my comp #gradschoollife#phdchat
