@British_Airways BA135 on 27th of May (1740) London - Mumbai

[Poorvi Iyer @PoorviIyer]

View above my head seated on a @British_Airways aircraft from London - Mumbai. I don't mind an old aircraft but there is zero excuse for the air vents being full of dust and filth. We pay ridiculous prices for air travel and this is what we get?

I was so lucky to be able to have Danny Kahneman as a best friend and collaborator for decades. He usually ended our conversations with "to be continued..." but I now have to simulate his part which is impossible. My favorite image of us "working".

Hey @LSEnews would you like to explain to me why your security tore the ‘Free Palestine’ sticker off our PhD office door claiming that it is against school policy?? /🧵

@lsesu @LSE_UCU

[Poorvi Iyer @PoorviIyer]

I have a code. Hit me up.

@SedovicMicha @LSESocialPolicy @PlattLucinda @BerkayOzcan_ QUEEN!!! 💟

@MJuzaszek Oh, I absolutely love your country. I had the pleasure of visiting Poland as a tourist and have some of my fondest memories from my time there. All the more reason I was excited to attend this conference. I definitely plan to come back. Thank you for your warm message :)

#easp2023krk is over and I'm seeing so many tweets about how great it was. No denying the truth to that, but there's also the not so great truth about how #visa issues were handled.

[Poorvi Iyer @PoorviIyer]

Yes!!!!!!!! Here's to this phenomenal, fantabulous human being 🥂🥂🥂🥂

[Poorvi Iyer @PoorviIyer]

@FloraCornish If I *had* to pick 1 thing, i'll go back to our conversations regarding the individualistic assumptions that social psych carries. This one is great in questioning the over reliance on social categories!

@FloraCornish where do I start really??!?!
everything I know about writing, teaching, qual/mixed-methods research and what it is to be a great mentor that constantly looks out for her mentees

[Poorvi Iyer @PoorviIyer]

@ccardehu And easiest way is making planning the celebration @msnyutsem's problem hehe

[Poorvi Iyer @PoorviIyer]

@ccardehu Heartiest congratulations!!

By the same author - on the history of indigenous people and loss of culture!

[Poorvi Iyer @PoorviIyer]

In an interview with @abishmathew, @Zakirism breaks down some beautiful poetry on what it means to leave home, to be a #migrant. I wept the first time I heard it and I wept even more as I heard it now given the current atmosphere in the UK.

Did I say he is quite the brat?

[Poorvi Iyer @PoorviIyer]

My little brother has a way with words and I asked him to help me select a few quotes, suggest a few good lines for my #phd Acknowledgements section. Here's what he suggested.
"I’d be remiss were I to not express my deepest sense of gratitude to my family...

[Poorvi Iyer @PoorviIyer]

(especially my brother) without whom I wouldn’t be half (strike that), quarter of the woman that I am today. Without his invaluable insights, this thesis would be mediocre (at best). He’s the be all and end all. He’s the one. I dedicate this thesis in his honor. Amen."

[Poorvi Iyer @PoorviIyer]

Being in visa hell makes the last month of PhD writing feel like a walk in the damn park. That's how bad it is friends.

[Poorvi Iyer @PoorviIyer]

@rishie_ Solidarity Rishita! I'm facing similar visa expenses right now and the visa process is soul-sucking in and of itself...! Sending you strength.
