Fantastic day yesterday at the 'Popular Culture and World Politics: Portraying War, Conflict, & Political Violence' one day symposium. I learnt so much from 'dresses and drones' to 'weaponizing music' concluding with discussion on some fantastic low budget films in 'Wakaliwood, Uganda'.

Excellent keynote today from @maddipow.bsky.social - Everything she said made pure sense and even included a little history lesson in open science 🧬 (and bropen science 😂) There is more than one way to be scientific! 🧪 #QRS2025

Excited to be at #QRS2025 for two days nerding out 🤓 (do we use hash tags here?)

Term one teaching complete! As exhausted as we always are by this point, London is very pretty and I know I am lucky to work in such beautiful buildings (excluding strand building, if you know you know 😂) with wonderful colleagues. Now to steam on w PhD before signing off for a rest 🎄🤶🎅🦌
