This is what great supervisors do…they recognise that learning is about building the person along with building the knowledge. There is so much room for doubt during the the isolation of the PhD
I love a good visual metaphor. In today’s supervision meeting my student was doubting her progress. So I got out some of my plants to show her how she’s doing (where I’m pointing), vs how she feels like she’s doing. #phdchat

Wonderful working with this group this morning. So many great questions about writing. One of my favourites tips “you can’t think yourself out of a writing block, you have to write yourself out of a thinking block”
We are now ready to "Turbocharge our writing" after Maria has given us some amazing tips. Thank you @ithinkwell and @ritamcmorrow the chair of SPCR for organising. What was your favourite tip? @jianrong_zhang @fitrimurry @Amy_x_Coe @molzywellington @ShakiraMilton #phdadvice

It’s now time for birthing practices in Western cultures to be scrutinised for their effect on women and families. I find this heartbreaking and unbelievable in this day and age.
...and the awards continue to roll in for Birth Time: the documentary.... the conversations we are having in the Northern Hemmisphere are so heart warming. Universal themes are emerging across maternity systems in the developed world. We are sharing a lot of the same struggle.
