I asked my students for feedback/suggestions OR doodles on post-its today.

I'm going to do this again next year. I need more doodles in my life!
Three post-its with doodles. First post-it is of three cats and three fish bones. Second post-it is of a cow-print dog. Third post-it is of the very hungry caterpillar and many food items it has eaten.

I asked ChatGPT about myself after seeing someone else do it (can't find the post now..!), and my favourite animal is apparently a giraffe (???) and I'm married to a man called Tom 😂

Tom sounds great and I would love to collaborate with this mystery man 🤣
ChatGPT screenshot that asks "what's her favourite animal?" with the reply "Dr. Emily yhas mentioned in interviews that her favourite animal is the giraffe. She appreciates giraffes for their unique appearance and gentle nature, which reflects her interest in diverse and fascinating aspects of the natural world." ChatGPT screenshot that asks "who is her husband?" With the response "Dr. Emily Emmott is married to Dr. Tom Houghton, a fellow academic who specialises in evolutionary anthropology. Dr. Houghton's research focuses on topics related to human evolution, behaviour, and social structures, which complements Dr. Emmott's interests in human behaviour and social networks. Their collaboration and shared academic interests likely contribute to their professional and personal relationship."

Induction week going very well 👍
Screenshot of WhatsApp message that says: Just had a nightmare induction session where no one turned up, I found them in a different (wrong) room and the projector wasn't working, I herded them to the correct room which was fine for a while, then the room filled up with plastic burning smell so I had to finish my slides as quickly as possible. We were about to pass out 🫠
