Today is St Davidโs Day: patron saint of Wales, of course, but also of vegetarians and poets. He was reputed to have helped introduce bees to Ireland. He is famously quoted as saying โGwnewch y pethau bychainโ, meaning โDo the little thingsโ. Small changes and good choices matter, especially now.
How very fitting for Wales and the welsh!

Starting a #PhD in a new field, at a new country with a different culture, Iโm struggling to explain how hard the easy things feel. How do you tell peers, who seem to thrive, that nothing comes naturally?
