What remains after four years and all those notes and drafts. Ready to be handed in. #phdlife #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

It started out as a joke, turned into a fun little project and many drafts, and chats, and jokes, and fretting over details later here they are: @fishy_79 and my contribution to #StrikeTour26 - our #StrikeTradingCards.

Re-imagining #CormoranStrike as a Point-and-Click Adventure (and trying my hand at pixelart). (Kind of want this as a game now.)

"#CormoranStrike had the high, bulging forehead, broad nose and thick brows of a young Beethoven who had taken to boxing […]. His thick curly hair, springy as carpet, had ensured that his many youthful nicknames had included ‘Pubehead’." pre-Cuckoo's Calling Strike.

Colour and light study inspired by this quote: "Strike descended the stairs, and had placed his hands on her upper arms and pulled her towards him […]." (Yeah, no, totally alright after reading #TheHallmarkedMan – not haunted by it. Such a good and such a tough book.)

In absolutely patient anticipation of #TheHallmarkedMan and due to an endlessly long train ride - two new, extremely rough Strike and Robin sketches. (I’m sure I’ll get a consistent style down at some point…) #CormoranStrike #Fanart

Started drawing this fanart while having a pint at The Flying Horse. Finished it today (neither with a pint, nor in London, bit of a letdown). (Heavily inspired by bearded!Strike and all those visits to various pubs in the #CormoranStrike novels.)

The romantic subplots in the Strike novels a nutshell. (See, I'm still using all the video skills I taught myself in 2020 and promptly forgot.) #CormoranStrike #CBStrike #fanvid

What could be more fitting on March, 29th than #CormoranStrike (tired for good reasons) and #RobinEllacott (in The Green Dress, definitely going to remember that day)? #fanart

...and with too much time on my hands I have drawn more #CormoranStrike fanart. Again. (Heavily inspired by this quote: "Six minutes later, in a clean shirt, smelling of toothpaste and deodorant but still unshaven, Strike entered the outer office […].")
Amazing Strike fan art done by Antares, who kindly allowed me to share! I think the one with the coat is my favorite. 🤩🤩

An academic is only as good as their supportive parents, asking uplifting questions like: - What do you study again? - What do you mean they don't pay you to publish? - How will you keep busy over the summer holidays? - Do you know how much more your sister makes?

Tell me that you're working in Academia with the winter term about to start without telling me you work in Academia with the winter term about to start. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Our department sent an e-mail saying that "a cockroach was spotted" and asked to inform them "if we see any animals". Well, if they're asking like that... what is going to stop me from sending them random pictures of animals I see from my office window? #AcademicTwitter

Love the advice about publishing your PhD thesis, because German Academia does not give you the time to rework your thesis before you submit a proposal. It gives you one year to get a contract/to publish and that's it. (also: no 'Dr.' beforehand) #phdlife #AcademicChatter

Okay, I need the united power of #AcademicTwitter (and the #mountaineering community). There's a conference happening in November at TUD Dresden, Germany and they're looking for abstracts and speakers (see #callforpapers below). Can we do our best & share the CfP?

maybe @Team_BMC @UIAAmountains @Mountain_Scot @UKClimbing @ifsclimbing can also help even if it's mostly an academic conference?
