Thanks for your thread, and for picking up on that infuriating line. Just spotted this when seeing what people were posting about the strikes! I remember a few lecturers like this during my degrees too, it's amazing how such small things can change your whole trajectory. Best of luck with the viva.

(I won't do the full sell while I'm on strike, but, if you wanted to make a return visit to Edinburgh, do bear in mind the @iashedinburgh.bsky.social postdocs)

You're so kind, Lucy 🥰 I hope we will be able to reverse some of the many changes that are being foisted on us, so that we can get back to doing the kind of teaching you so admired back then.
