This year's #POD25 POD Network conference was just what I needed, right when I needed it most.
I'm glad POD noticed who couldn't be there, too. May we find more & better ways to bring everyone's voices together.
Here are my photos; have fun remembering, y'all!

Not sure where to start? That’s what coaching is for. In the PhD Career Clarity Program, you’ll get support, structure, and guidance. You don’t have to figure it all out alone! Just show up and we’ll go from there.

What a splendid way to begin my #POD25 conference! It was an honor to give a peer-observation workshop with Lauren Barbeau, Claudia Cornejo Happel, and Marguerite Regan.

I love it when I get into that hyper-focus groove, with one song on repeat, and do 3 hours of work in 45 minutes.
How's *your* Saturday night going?
