A Trip To London

Last Thursday I went down to London for the day. It wasn’t for sightseeing – thank goodness as the Tube was on strike – but to see Emma Cole who does the PhD Vlog, and chat with her about viva prep and other related things!

It was great to meet up with Emma after watching the final month of her PhD (leading up to submission) and after chatting with her via Twitter for a little while. I don’t want to say too much more about the trip, as the main output of it isn’t finished yet: Emma and I filmed a video for her vlog about the viva and viva prep!

As Emma was also the curator for @WetheHumanities last week too, it seemed like a good opportunity to do a Q&A on Twitter. It was great to immediately connect with people and their questions; I’ve been thinking about doing Twitter Q&As in the past but been put off thinking that they might be logistically difficult to manage. With this experience I may have to revisit that assessment…

I’ll share the link to the vlog when it goes up, probably around the end of the month I think.

Thanks for reading!
