Academia is held together by caffeine, free labour, and the two people who nod encouragingly during presentations

Great week delivering the Digital Methods Summer School at BU. Thanks to everyone who helped out and to the amazing group of PhD students and ECRs from across BU, the UK, and as far away as Turkey.

Finishing your PhD and staying in academia
@PhdamnPod @merissabrown123 Outrageous that you replied to this almost a year later and it still applies 😭
Vicky Knowles retweeted
I had a great time @FB_Collective in Leeds learning more about impactful football research taking place in the UK and beyond. Good to hear from emerging scholars, researchers and industry professionals. Well done @AJBond_LBU @Joelrookwood @Fire_and_Skill. #FBC23Leeds 👇🏽📸
Upon further reflection I reckon an entire section of the PhD risk assessment I wrote last year should have been dedicated to Elon Musk
Vicky Knowles retweeted
so thrilled to have been a part of organizing this year's PGR #conference for @SocStudiesShef this year's theme is 'Inequalities, Resistance and Change', looking forward to some fantastic presentations 🌈✨ #PhD @ninavoluminosa @VBKnowles @IslaZavosMacRae @merissabrown123
When someone asks me how the PhD writing is going:
Word of the day is ‘circumbendibus’ (17th century): anything that deliberately goes round and round without ever getting to the point.
The instant panic whenever "David Attenborough" trends will never truly leave you
@thesillywonka honestly at this point just remove the 'data' (quite literally) from 'data anxiety' 😂
Okay so I wrote a thing (!) Here's my new blog post about the media, race and activism in English football if you fancy giving it a read 👇 socstudiesresearch.com/2022/12/08/tak…
@StephDoehler_OU Thank you for writing about this - it looks really interesting. Can't wait to give it a read!
