Very excited to share that I passed my PhD viva yesterday. Grateful for all of the support from @Bath_AIM , @BathPsychology, @GW4BioMedDTP. Big thanks also to @JannaCousijn and @DrJennyAllen for being great examiners.😊

I can vouch for both the @GW4BioMedDTP being an excellent funder AND Dr @LindseyAHines being an outstanding PhD supervisor. Definitely consider applying if relevant!

@marie_ahoi @icep2023 @jo_is_me_2 - is this the conference you are going to? :)

@SarahWarbis @DoctoralBath @UniofBath @3MT_official Well deserved Sarah - your research is clearly so important and your presentation was extremely well put together and executed!

What an incredible night at @DoctoralBath's Research Celebration Evening! Still in shock after winning both the Judges' and People's vote for @UniofBath's @3MT_official final as well as receiving a recognition award for my work in researcher wellbeing.

Nearly 4 years of hard work later & I've just submitted my PhD thesis!! It's been a blast 🚀 @BathPsychology @GW4BioMedDTP @Bath_AIM
