I couldn’t have asked for better supervisors than Antske Fokkens & @suzanv.bsky.social 💖 
And huge thanks to my incredible paranymphs @urjakh.bsky.social and Selene Baez Santamaria 👯♀️. From Zoom rooms to the stage, our journey has been full of growth, laughter, and mutual support. ❤️
In fact, all PhDs from @cltl.bsky.social were a great community of support. 💖 
Amazing co-authors broadened my perspective and made me a better scientist. Thank you so much for that! 🙏
Also to my doctoral committee: @damiantrilling.net , Annette Hautli-Janisz, reshmi G Pillai, @Khalid Al Khatib & Antal van den Bosch: thank you for your thoughtful (and fun!) questions.
