Fantastic opportunity to study for a PhD @PCI_UniofLeeds and as an internally funded scheme, it's less competitive than the big consortia! Win- win! Please circulate and consider applying: phd.leeds.ac.uk/funding/313-...
Got the most brutal feedback on some research in memory today (combined with a lot of commentary from someone trying to help but who hadn’t read the proposal). Went back to my office and cried after. Some things about academia get easier, but not others 😢

Another QLD question for you all - do I need to go to a specialist skin cancer clinic for an annual skin check or do GPs do this? Figure I need to get on top of these now I live in Brisbane 😬
Do houses in QLD and/or houses with floorboards produce more dust, or did I just live in invisible filth in my carpeted UK home? Feels like I’m constantly hoovering here 😩
