Lovely to see familiar face discussing her #PhD research in #dementia #nursing and #care at the University of #Dundee. 20+ years ago Linda was my classmate in a taught #MPhil #history degree at Dundee. It was such a surprise to see her face pop up in my subscribed #YouTube videos today! https://youtu.be/M9UwTYEBgvc #DundeeUniversity #UniversityOfDundee #healthcare

Just heard that my honorary research fellowship in History (now in School of Humanities, Social Sciences & Law) at #DundeeUniversity has been renewed again to summer 2025. Huge thanks to #Dundee #University for this. It helps me continue to be an active academic, publishing new research, despite my progressive neurological disease. I've held this fellowship continuously since 2010. #Academia #History #Fellowship #Neuro #ChronicIllness #DisabledAcademic

Facebook reminded me 5 years ago today I started investigating the 200 year history of 166 #Nethergate, #Dundee where my husband works. Former Dundee Uni Careers building, now HQ of spinoff company STAR-Dundee. 49 page report. Print copies with Dundee Uni Archives, Dundee City Archives & Historic Environment Scotland. #HouseHistory #BuildingHistory #ScottishHistory #DundeeUniversity #Architecture #Space #SpaceIndustry #SpaceResearch #StarDundee #Scotland

Facebook reminded me 13 years ago today I passed my #PhD #viva at #DundeeUniversity. Happy PhD birthday to me! I haven't been able to work in a paid capacity in #academia since due to my #progressive MS-like #illness. But I'm still active as an #academic. Here's a blog post about my activities since then. https://vivsacademicblog.wordpress.com/2020/03/27/ten-years-since-phd-viva/ #Dundee #Research #University #Postgrad

Just been trying a couple more of the #ScottishHistory #quizzes by Allan Kennedy linked from the Centre for #ScottishCulture at the #University of #Dundee website. Relieved to get 47% and 53% on the “super hard” 16th and 17thC ones! https://dundeescottishculture.org/scottish-history-quizzes/ #Scotland #History #DundeeUniversity #SixteenthCentury #SeventeenthCentury #16thCentury #17thCentury

Facebook reminded me that 13 years ago today I put in alternative/disability arrangements request for my upcoming history #PhD #viva at #DundeeUniversity. Worked well: a #wheelchair accessible room and time limited viva cos of how confused & slurred speech I get after a while. Loved my viva. #neuro #disabledAcademic
