A while back I had a lovely conversation with Adrianna from the podcast "The Other Kind of Doctor", hosted by Royal Holloway. We're having a conversation around the ukulele world, my ukulele research, life in general and a bit dinosaur love in the end. open.spotify.com/episode/4dAP...

Just back from the RMA Conference in Southampton - an inspiring few days full of musicology, new ideas, and wonderful conversations. Highlights included keynotes by Mariana Ritchey and Sara Collins, plus fascinating talks on amplification, EDI, and collaboration with composers.

Had a super productive and fun Stagepack Osterakademie 2025! Great synergies with the singers and actors. I hear there are very few spaces left for the Stagepack Sommerakademie 2025. Be sure to secure your spot if you want to spend a whole week studying the Ukulele with me! #ukulele #workshop

Worked for more than 1 hr on a presentation including loud scrappy rasgueado sounds today in a cafeteria. Tuns out my earphone were not plugged in and the whole place got hit with infrequent unpleasant noise at my convenience. I guess I won’t be back #phdchat

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🧪 🥼🔬 Longing for the day when funding is ample, jobs are steady, and autocorrect stops changing "Curie" to "cutie". #academicsky

Anyone else frequently writing on the train? Do you love it or hate it? I often love it. Train rides give me dedicated time slots (much like writers’ meetings), which I find usually leads to productivity. #academicsky #phdchat #phdsky

Another productive day, transcribing, inserting citations, editing and even writing a whole new paragraph. #academicsky #phdsky #phdchat #ukulelethesis

Wow! This was fun today! I found myself in three different lovely writing communities, which were super-welcoming. I was productive and felt very supported in each of them. Guess I’ll be back tomorrow. #academicsky #phdchat

I find writing spaces - virtual or in real life - hugely helpful. Spent the morning working with other dedicated PGRs and loved it as usual! #academicsky #phdsky

The first work trip this year brought me to Aberdeen. The RMA Conference 2025 was a wonderful event! So many incredibly interesting paper presentations, super-inspiring researchers from all over the world! Presented my research on ukulele playing techniques. #ukulele #research #conference
