Good to have the chance encounter to connect with some of you during your recent visit to Lancaster and catch up with some familiar faces - thanks for bringing the sunshine as well as the intellectual curiousity and engagement.

Belated bluesky congratulations but many of them to Thomas Kral who has been a great contributor to our Educational Research PhD Study Days.

A great defense for a great thesis and a valuable opportunity to engage with Suzy Beck during her PhD journey. Thanks also to the examiners @jmvincent.bsky.social and George Koutsouris for opening up such an interesting discussion which it was a pleasure to listen to.

It was a pleasure and very informative to have the opportunity to hear more from Sarah about her fascinating study, lots for us all to learn from.
