Congratulations to @obrienalexia1 and delighted to share this news. She did an excellent job seeing this thesis through among many obstacles and engaging with the examiners yesterday. The sun was out, coffee and jelly beans were had - a good day.

Delighted to say I passed my viva this morning 🥳 huge thanks to my two examiners, @PhilLawton and Richard Waldron. And of course a special shout out to the best supervisor I could ask for, @CiantOCallaghan. Thank you also to everyone at TCD Geography

What are you doing on Thursday? Getting together with PECN, of course! Join our final event of 2024, an online writing retreat. Details and the Zoom link to join are linked below. Let's get together! #WritingCommmunity #phdlife #masterslife @geogsocire pecnireland.wordpress.com/2024/12/10/wri…

We’re excited to share that our final event of 2024 is an online Writing Day on Thurs 12 Dec. Sometimes writing can become quite isolating, especially the end phase of a #Thesis. But we don’t have to do it all alone. Join us and let's write together #PECN #Phdlife #Masterslife

This is literally me right now

Thank you so much to @TCD_Geography for the amazing send off for being the engagement coordinator the past 2 yrs 💕 I’ve enjoyed every second of trying to bridge the community from non researchers to undergrads and everyone in between while also having a bit of fun with the posts

@CiantOCallaghan @igc2024dub @TCD_Geography Hahahaha thanks 🤪
