There are so many things to love about @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025. I got to bond with my @phrg-standrews.bsky.social colleagues over insanely long train rides (but they made it fun). I (re)connected with people doing interesting work who also happen to be great people. Lovely to be home though.

At the Understanding Society conference in Essex. The time-use cross over post birth of a child presented by Professor Anne McMunn.

Enjoying the Hope & Resilience Conference at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland, but was that snow yesterday?

Enjoying sunshine in Malta with Univ of St Andrews UG students, working on a British retirement migrant project.

At Academia Sinica next week.

Southern Taiwan, here I come.

Looking forward to a new year of seasons. Jan & Feb (not much to look forward to tbh), Mar - June (garden growing season), July-Sep (warmth), Oct - Dec (apples, pumpkin spice & fireplace).

Kingsbarns beach (8 miles outside of St Andrews)

Test test. First post. Hello hello.
