@jas_kalra Wonderful - will stay tuned! :)

@rishie_ Benedict Carey's 'How we learn' may help (particularly Chapter 4). I remember there was some evidence that distributed learning ('spacing effect') helps improve learning outcomes for students.

@Rob_Briner Such a downer, Rob! From my teaching at QMUL, I found that attendance is high (70 to 80%) only when there's an assessment element (group work, course participation) linked to class. Otherwise (many) students seem to schedule in part-time work #CostOfLivingCrisis

@jas_kalra Thank you - will be in touch for a catch-up soon :)

[Dr. Aparna Pasumarthy @Apasumarthy]

This Valetine's Day, I successfully defended my PhD and passed with no corrections. The viva was a dream come true - a truly beautiful ending.

Thanks to my examiners, fabulous supervisors, and everyone else who's supported me at @sbmqmul @QMUL_CRED

@nilanjanab Please be kind to yourself.

Anxiety and depression are soul-destroying. If the pills make you feel even a teensy bit better, it's a small win for now. You've got this! :)

@pallaviaiyar Grew up reading Enid Blyton in the 2000s. I loved how the protagonists were young girls living adventurous, fun lives. The Baby-Sitters Club by Ann M Martin was another pre-teen favourite :')

[Dr. Aparna Pasumarthy @Apasumarthy]

@jas_kalra Eeeks. I hope you have coffee and cake to help power through :)
