OK. It's happening, and I can finally talk openly about it (a thread). I have decided to transfer from my #PhD into a #Masters degree. I'm currently writing my thesis - I'm due to submit in October. And I want to talk about it, because we don't talk about this enough.

Today I graduated from my Master of Teaching (Secondary) Internship πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“. Though these last two years have been incredibly challenging, going back to Uni (for the upteenth time!) was the best decision I ever made ⭐️ ⬇️

In 2023 I am also stoked to be teaching VCE Chemistry! Though Bio is a huge part of my background I have realised Chem is my first love ❀️. Also super stoked to be teaching some maths, and Year 7s again in a fresh setting. πŸ§ͺ⬇️

I’m absolutely terrified that this is where we are - that after so many decades of people fighting for women’s rights to their own bodies, today’s decision has stripped us of that.
My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Do recommend getting stuck into a pomodoro session before the numbers come out though - much better than my old β€œrefresh until they appear” strategy

#SciCommSeptember 7: Fave fact! I love dispelling myths especially in the #wellness space. Did you know that there’s no specific proof that #collagen supplements do anything to help your skin/hair/nails? Essentially no better than eating a balanced protein intake (or powder)!
