Thoroughly enjoyed my two week placement alongside two other fantastic law students at the Signet Library, researching an area outside of my comfort zone: the Bill of Rights Bill. You read a summary of our research which we presented to WS Members here: https://t.co/QZrp9t2O16

Summer scholars Christiana @AberdeenUniLaw, Evan and Shona @UoELawSchool begin their legal research placement today on the integration of the UK Bill of Rights into domestic law. An especially warm welcome to the Signet Library! #HumanRights #law #education

With huge thanks once again to everyone who helped me get here! ❤️

Today I graduated with my PhD (and also the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice) and celebrated in a sunshiney Old College.

[Dr Shona Norbash (formerly Warwick) @shona_norbash]

I honestly checked a thousand times that I really was graduating with the PhD. I was worried I'd have all my family here and they'd turn round on the day and say there had been a mistake. But I have the certificate now, so maybe soon I will start to believe I really did do it!

[Dr Shona Norbash (formerly Warwick) @shona_norbash]

Particularly my supervisors, Laura Macgregor, @Scott_Wortley, and Lorna Richardson, and my examiners @MacqueenHector and @MalcolmCombe . 2/2

[Dr Shona Norbash (formerly Warwick) @shona_norbash]

I did it! I got confirmation that I'm actually being awarded the PhD! I don't think I will believe it until I have the certificate in my hands... 😄😄😄 Thanks again to those who helped me get here... 1/2

I've been in two minds about changing my name in the professional context, but have finally decided that for a multitude of reasons I want to have just one name for both personal and professional use. When you see Shona Norbash, it's still me!

[Dr Shona Norbash (formerly Warwick) @shona_norbash]

@DrGillianBlack @MacqueenHector @MalcolmCombe Or Dr N! Ahhh I can't decide!

[Dr Shona Norbash (formerly Warwick) @shona_norbash]

It hasn't really hit me yet, but this morning I passed my PhD viva with minor corrections! Thank you to examiners @MacqueenHector and @MalcolmCombe for their thoughtful comments on my boringly titled thesis! 😅😄

[Dr Shona Norbash (formerly Warwick) @shona_norbash]

@MalcolmCombe I must admit it totally threw me as it was so far from every other question I'd been assured would be asked as an opener!

[Dr Shona Norbash (formerly Warwick) @shona_norbash]

Whilst thanked in my thesis, thanks also to my wonderful supervisors: Prof Laura Macgregor, @Scott_Wortley, and Lorna Richardson for all their support, and to all those who discussed my work with me along the way. Huge thanks to @AriAround for being such a lovely Chair!

[Dr Shona Norbash (formerly Warwick) @shona_norbash]

On the 21st December, I got married! ❤️

A greeting from @Team_Oaklands to all of you and yours. Merry Christmas and a very happy new year. #Edinburgh #Christmas #isittheholidaysyet

[Dr Shona Norbash (formerly Warwick) @shona_norbash]

It's only the beginning of the end, but over the moon to have finally clicked "submit" on my thesis today! 🎉

[Dr Shona Norbash (formerly Warwick) @shona_norbash]

@amy_lawton_ This looks like you are staying very nearby me! I'm by Pilrig Park! Hope to see you around in person soon! :)

[Lindsay Jack @LindsayGJack]

We are so grateful to have Neil's input into training. His Facilitation Theory and Skills sessions always get our leaders thinking. (And even thinking about thinking when Neil gets onto metacognition.) Thank you!

[Dr Shona Norbash (formerly Warwick) @shona_norbash]
