@aberdeenuni Update: looks like I'm not the only one who has noticed. Ludicrous to suggest there's no fee to graduate - the robes cost £50!! @aberdeenuni bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

I've had to pay over £40 so my parents can attend my graduation, when only a year ago my partner could bring 5 guests for free. We have to fork out on gown hire, travel, hotel stays - all in, probably about £1000. University still isn't accessible. Shame on you @aberdeenuni

@sisir4u @aberdeenuni Absolutely! Hope you are doing well Sisir 🙂

@Tillogen @aberdeenuni And then think of the costs associated with international students for the ceremony of just some hours!

@DarloOrchestra do you have any vacancies for a flute player this term?

Time to get used to my new title! Thanks to @DanPowell83 and @StineUlven for a great viva yesterday @rowett_abdn. Can't believe almost 5 years of being in the PhD sphere has finally come to an end! #phd #phdlife #vivasuccess

Being confined to finishing up my thesis a) at the weekends and b) when it's nice and sunny and I just want to be outside, is tough! Send me motivating gifs/pics/words of wisdom #phdlife #phdvoice

@elizabethlees93 Same!

...but if anyone is interested in keeping in touch please drop me a message and we can maybe follow/chat on another platform. Thanks for keeping me entertained, informed, and mildly irritated(!) over the last few years! #phdlife #PhDthesis #phdchat #endofanera #newjob

I've tended to find Twitter most useful as an academic tool in the past, but as I will be moving away from academia now I will therefore find less relevance in it. My Twitter silence will therefore mostly continue...

Hi Twitter 👋 sorry for the radio silence (though I doubt many people follow my tweets any more). Things have been pretty busy as I have been writing up my thesis (nearly there!) and I'm due to start a new job in less than 2 weeks(!)

@lenaacolatse @ENLP_Lead See you there! :)

🥁 roll please!! Super stoked to be joining @ENLP_Lead this year! Best I've heard is that it's a 'life changing' experience, guess who's open to change 😉

@elizabethlees93 Hope you feel much better soon and that the teaching goes well 😘

@HayItsAbi Congratulations 🎉 definitely take a well-earned break now!

@molagutal Quora, yes. Horoscope, no...? It all seemed legit apart from "not interested in the precarity of academia" not really making sense

Thought I'd ask #ChatGPT for some career advice. This is what it said. Not bad...

@elizabethlees93 Sending you lots of love ♥️

@ScepticalDoctor Indeed, a great example of the ridiculousness of the NOVA system. Plant-based milks being category 4 but cow's milk being category 1 (despite pasteurisation) is another strange one IMHO

Now there are scam Covid texts! Stay safe out there folks #ScamAlert

@BBCNorthEast So sad!

News just in: The Belmont Filmhouse in Aberdeen has ceased trading. The trustees of Centre for the Moving Image (CMI) - the parent charity which runs the cinema - have appointed administrators.
