Today was the ceremonial end of a very long journey. My son was not yet born when my PhD was conferred last year, but the delayed nature of graduation ceremonies in the pandemic meant that he was able to join in on the fun (as a 15 month old!) along with my wife.

I was also honoured to have my valued mentors and co-authors there to celebrate the day with me. And it was truly a thrill to see so many of my students receive their own degrees. What a day.

The final of many endings within the PhD journey. I can’t believe it’s over.
