Ten months in, 11,001/100,000 so far

Confirmation in the bag! Onwards.

Confirmation set for October 8! Keen to be back in Canberra (when it's not freezing).

Always nice to see this sort of feedback from your PhD supe 😄 Feeling very confident with how things are going six months in.

That's a wrap for me at my first AHA conference. Overall a fun experience, despite being under-the-weather. Keen for '26 #AHA2025

Very cool experience attending my first ever AHA Conference day today. Highlights for me included a great panel discussion on the use of AI and hearing about @stplbrk.bsky.social's planned book on the Dutch Free City of Riouw. #AHA2025 Back tomorrow!

Pretty devo to have missed the day I was most keen to attend due to getting unwell in the final days of my trip down south (arrived home at midnight and slept most of today). Aiming to at least experience Wednesday and Thursday! #AHA2025

Attending my first AHA conference next week up at home in Townsville. Not presenting, but very keen to experience it! #AHA2025

Very excited to attend my first AHA conference when it rolls into town in early July! The programme looks stacked.

Receiving your initial feedback from your supervisor for the first few thousand drafted for your PhD:

Diving head-first into the lit review and still feeling suprisingly confident. Very, very glad to have already had some experience with them - particularly with honours.

Ticket purchased for my first AHA conference up here in Townsville later this year, very keen!

Had a great time on campus in Canberra for the three day HDR Launchpad program. The highlight was meeting many of my new HASS colleagues. Such a wonderful environment. Makes me wish I could do it on campus!

Canberra tomorrow! Alarm set for 3:30am 💀

In today's "Are they rude, or just German?"

Down in Canberra 2-6 March for the HDR Orientation! Last time I was in town was for only two days for the inaugural UNSW War Studies Workshop, so keen to have a little more time.

Me: tries to remain calm about the fact I begin my PhD in just over a month UNSW: approves me for external study but mistakenly gives me the RTP internally Me:

37 days til we begin! ✍️💻📚

Thought I might as well make a 'professional' account here. Don't really use the other place anymore.
