Full circle moment ⭕:
@psaepop.bsky.social was the first ever conference I presented at, and now I'm thrilled to wrap up my PhD conference cycle at #EPOP2025 in Exeter. Enthusiatic to present joint work with @aleferna.bsky.social and to be part of this promising panel. Curious to hear your thoughts!

This might be useful to @psaecn.bsky.social members; there are lots of super-supportive (senior) colleagues out there who can offer advice and support.

Often it's just a matter of finding them; conferences (from small research student ones to big international ones) can be great for this.

Joe Greenwood-Hau @niceonecombo.bsky.social · Aug 29

Of course, since posting this, I've remembered some other people I wanted to say thanks to as well.

During my PhD (and after), I was lucky to receive advice or, equally importantly, supportive words from some (senior) colleagues.

I'm really grateful to the following people...

Joe Greenwood-Hau @niceonecombo.bsky.social · Aug 11

A thread:

Today, I'm going to try and say thanks to everyone who helped make my book possible. There have been lots of kind, supportive and helpful people along the way, starting with my excellent PhD supervisor at @uniessexgov.bsky.social, @robjohns75.bsky.social.
