Yesterday I had the privilege to listen to and hang out with Jenny Gore and Andrew Miller at #AERA2025. It's always fascinating to hear about the incredible and important work they have managed to do with Quality Teaching Rounds (QTR) in Australia.

Yesterday I nailed my thesis to a wall at my University. A tradition stemming from Martin Luther and his 95 thesis' about 500 years ago. πŸ”¨

This symbolizes that my thesis now goes public, three weeks prior to my defence πŸ“’.
