I wrote a guest post! You can read it over on patter. Patter is an academic blog written by Pat Thomson that features stories about writing, everyday academic life, and the doctoral experience and supervision. Recently the blog has featured a series of posts relating to beginning a PhD. The post I wrote is related to the theme of ‘things to do during your PhD’. I’ve written about my internship at cookNscribble last summer, where I made loads of granola (you can read the original post on *that* debacle here), a lot of pie, met some very interesting food people, and talked about food pretty much 24/7. It was ace. Head over to patter to read about why the internship was important to my wider PhD experience! x
