Its with great pleasure to announce that I just passed my PhD viva with minor corrections yesterday! Big thanks to my supervisors Stephen Gibson & Marc Alexander for their support these last years - and to my examiners Mhairi Bowe and Simon Goodman for their constructive and challenging questions 😁

"'How are you?' These are the three most useless words in the world of communication." This compelling (but wrong/daft) assertion is based on #communication myth rather than how we actually talk 🧐 And asking "how are you" can even save lives... 🧵 1/15 [Bringing #EMCA threads to Bluesky!]
