Four years ago, @AngelaWithAnEh and I had the great pleasure of developing and chairing the very first ITiCSE Doctoral Consortium. I’m now watching this year’s DC candidates present their work at #ITiCSE23… some inspiring work coming out of the “next gen” of CS Ed academics!

I think anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love my job. Most of the time I think it’s absolutely crazy that what I do is even a “job”! So to be nominated and awarded for having fun is beyond wild. Thank you to all the students who took the time to put my name in. 🌟

Wrapping up a very productive Erasmus visit @Saxion in Deventer 🇳🇱. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel all over Europe under the Erasmus scheme over my career - it’s definitely shaped me into the academic I am today. It’s sad to see this funding stream close.
