Went on my first cruise last week with Celebrity Cruises and it was just incredible. Loved waking up to a new place, food was delicious, and the sunsets were just another level. Back to reality this week!

Very proud to share our latest study exploring the experiences of PhD demonstrators across UK universities. Read more here: doi.org/10.53761/57k... #PhDLife #HigherEd Highlights in the thread below. 1/6 🧵
We examined the experiences of 16 PhD demonstrators from Russell and non-Russell universities, exploring teaching benefits and challenges, dual student-teacher identities, and opinions on the “demonstrator” title. Through interviews and reflexive thematic analysis, 4 themes were found: 1) ambiguity in the demonstrator label persists despite the GTA alternative, reflecting a disconnect between title and role, 2) the unpredictability, heavy workload, and lack of freedom in the role contribute to stress and diminish enjoyment for demonstrators, 3) feelings of being unsupported due to inadequate preparation, lack of recognition, poor treatment by staff, and the burdens of casualised contracts, 4) positive aspects including the unique demonstrator-student relationship, skill development, mentorship, supportive community, and flexible scheduling that provides a break from PhD work. The study highlights the importance of recognizing the dual identity, finding a label that reflects their responsibilities, addressing stress factors, and enhancing support and recognition for individuals within these roles.

Stats education often starts with abstract equations but what if we flipped that? At the Teaching & Learning Conference Kieran Lyon shared our ongoing study of whether we can improve stats education by starting with examples, & showing the equations last. Talk here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yhc...

For Valentine’s Day I thought I would bake my husband some cookies as it’s one of his favourites. My first time baking them and it half worked? Lost their shape but delicious in taste. I’m glad I took a picture to show him what they were meant to look like 🤣 🍪

Got very excited when I saw our paper had been cited for the first time! It was a great paper but as I was reading it I realised my surname had been cited incorrectly 😩 One of the cons of having two surnames in a world of usually having one surname. I have been in touch with the journal to correct!🤞
