I loved being part of this podcast where @notts-psych.bsky.social supervisors discussed how we mark project reports, including ideas of what makes an excellent project report. The link to the podcast is available on the PSGY3008 moodle site.

I joined @notts-psych.bsky.social 3 years ago after many wonderful years of teaching in Sheffield. Last Monday I received the best email confirming my promotion to Assistant Professor!! I can’t put into words how grateful and happy I am. Spent the weekend celebrating and letting it sink in 🎉💚💙

For Valentine’s Day I thought I would bake my husband some cookies as it’s one of his favourites. My first time baking them and it half worked? Lost their shape but delicious in taste. I’m glad I took a picture to show him what they were meant to look like 🤣 🍪

Most of my friends on Goodreads are in sync. My newsfeed is full of Onyx Storm. I’m currently on the first book and fallen in love with the dragons 🐉 #BookSky

Celebratory walk after finishing marking today around campus 🌳🐾

Lyra exploring the campus today @notts-psych.bsky.social #NottsPsychPets

I have become so used to marking everything online that I find it strange to be marking physical exams again. My table is surrounded by piles of questions. I forgot how satisfying it is to be able to visually see how many you have left to mark #AcademicSky

Hot chocolates were a great addition on todays snowy walk

Lovely frosty morning on the @uniofnottingham.bsky.social campus today for the @notts-psych.bsky.social Staff Away Day. I do love seeing this sign when I come into work!

Back at work this morning with my two pals. Here they are on their way to the office 🐱🐶

New year can only mean one thing: a new #GoodReads challenge. Its amazing how much joy it brings into my life. I love keeping track of what I’ve read and 2024 was an outstandingly good reading year. Here’s to more great books in 2025. Happy New Year Everyone 📚✨

Lovely afternoon for a bike ride on the paseo 🚲

Opened this beauty this morning and it’s taken me straight back to the 90s! Playing with a Tamagotchi again and feeling all the nostalgia. My mum's definitely going to regret giving this to me… it’s SO loud! 😂

Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating. Hope you have a great day! ☀️

York researchers test impact of school smartphone ban in new Channel 4 documentary www.york.ac.uk/news-and-eve...

Got very excited when I saw our paper had been cited for the first time! It was a great paper but as I was reading it I realised my surname had been cited incorrectly 😩 One of the cons of having two surnames in a world of usually having one surname. I have been in touch with the journal to correct!🤞

It was incredible to watch the #Lionesses play last night ❤️🤍

Founder members of @sagi-uon.bsky.social. These 3 make work extra special. Happy 1st December from the SAGI team 🎄

Wreath making tradition continues. Chuffed with how this years has turned out. Happy 1st of December everyone!
