A Southern Kentucky accent, speech therapy, and the linguistic gift that is y’all’d’ve. #student #language #college #phd #studygram @oxford_uni @cambridgeuniversity Cambridge or Oxford, which team are you on? Oxford and Cambridge are both beautiful, both have lovely rivers, and both have people who will defend them with medieval levels of intensity. The rivalry is mostly good fun, of course. Both universities have a lot of respect for each other and often cheer each other on. But the origin story is surprisingly chaotic. Oxford scholars, a medieval murder, town-and-gown conflict, and even King John vs Pope Innocent III. #student #phd #college #academia #studygram @cambridgeuniversity @oxford_uni Continuing the conversation — when does a language become a new language? What do you think? Also how does language influence identity? #student #phd #college #language #psychology @oxford_uni @cambridgeuniversity When does a language become a new language? Dopamine has become the internet’s favourite brain chemical, but most people talk about it as if it is just a little pleasure button in your head. What do y’all think, does formal English need a plural you? Do you distinguish between you singular and you plural in your dialect of English, or your native language? #phd #language #studygram #college #study @oxford_uni @cambridgeuniversity How might the language you speak and think in affect how you experience time? What do you think? #time #language #science #psychology #studygram @oxford_uni @cambridgeuniversity POV Resting by the River Cam with some good food today after submitting two different first author papers to two different journals today. Day in my life as a Cambridge PhD student #cambridge #phd #college #studygram #academia @cambridgeuniversity @selwyn1882 @anchorcambridge It was great hosting Keble College (Oxford), for our Traditional Dinner Exchange, followed by cocktails in the bar, & cheese in the MCR Room. #cambridge #oxford #student #college #phdlife @cambridgeuniversity @selwyn1882 @kebleoxford @keblemcr @selwyn.mcr @oxford_uni Everybody loves a doughnut! 😁🍩 Cambridge PhD life #cambridge #phd #studygram #college #food @cambridgeuniversity @crosstown Cambridge PhD student in London to attend a talk at the Royal Society, which is still a sentence that doesn’t feel entirely real to me — from Rural Kentucky to the University of Cambridge and everywhere in-between! Quirky Cambridge PhD Student in Psychology researching time perception, memory, decision making, language, and biology! If that sounds interesting, hit follow and come along for the ride! #cambridge #phd #student #studygram #college @cambridgeuniversity POV Cambridge PhD Student Taking Saturday Off & Exploring Oxford #cambridge #mensfashion #oxford #phd #studygram @oxford_uni @cambridgeuniversity @magdalenoxford @lairdhatters Come see inside 3 of my favourite University of Oxford libraries where I’ve been finishing 3 papers for publication in different academic journals this past week, as a Cambridge PhD Student — including where the Harry Potter / Hogwarts library films scenes were shot! #student #phd #mensfashion #studygram #darkacademia @oxford_uni @bodleianlibraries @lairdhatters Cambridge PhD Student out for a sweet treat at Barefoot Bakery, one of my favourite places in Oxford, in my new hat from Laird’s of Oxford! #student #phd #malefashion #bakery #food @barefootoxford @lairdhatters @cambridgeuniversity My porkpie hat needs a friend, which of the three do you think I should add to my “Cambridge Gentleman” PhD wardrobe? #cambridge #guy #malefashion #phd #studygram @cambridgeuniversity @lairdhatters Having a good day, getting back into the flow of Cambridge PhD life, had a haircut and submitted a fist author manuscript for publication in a journal based on results from my research! 😁 #cambridge #guy #research #studygram #college @cambridgeuniversity @selwyn1882 Back in the UK and getting back into my Cambridge PhD, but I brought a bit of Greece back to help me! Most of this is from my favourite shop in all of Crete that I visit anytime I’m there, it’s in Rethymno and is called Moka! Give them a visit if you’re ever in town! #cambridge #greece #food #travel #phd @mokamoka.stores @cambridgeuniversity @greece One last walk through the olive groves before I trade the Cretan sun in Greece for Cambridge and my PhD again. Come with me for a quiet piece of Greece before the next chapter begins, olive trees and poppies or old college courts? #cambridge #nature #travel #guy #studygram @cambridgeuniversity @greece Cambridge PhD Easter break 2026. Crete, Athens, sea, sun, and a little time to breathe. Sometimes the best reset is salt water, good weather, and getting away for a while. What did you get up to over the holiday? #cambridge #travel #guy #beach #greece @cambridgeuniversity @greece @laduree_greece @thisisathens Χριστός Ανέστη! Kαλό Πάσχα! Christ is Risen, Happy Easter to all Orthodox Christians celebrating! #easter #orthodoxeaster #greece #phd #holiday My favourite view to wake up to in Greece, Southern Crete, for Easter! Break from my PhD research at the University of Cambridge #cambridge #travel #greece #crete #easter @cambridgeuniversity Just exploring “wave functions” and their affect on my time perception, while away from the University of Cambridge and PhD stress! #cambridge #studygram #guy #travel #selfie @cambridgeuniversity Every so often, a little affordable trip is part of my self care as a Cambridge PhD Student. Not because I need to run away from anything, just because I really enjoy having a change of scene, a bit of space, and views like this to get lost in for a while. A plane window, clouds, and a quiet moment can do a lot. Where have you gone recently that made you feel recharged? #student #phd #studygram #travel #selfcare @cambridgeuniversity @flysas Cambridge PhD life has been very busy lately. Over the past stretch, I’ve finished the first manuscript from my own PhD research, while also finishing three additional first-author manuscripts for publication, contributing two entries to a forthcoming multidisciplinary dictionary, and writing another piece for a collective practical science experiment book. It has been an intense period of writing, editing, and juggling far too many tabs at once, though I’m excited to start sharing more of these projects as they move forward. Life at the University of Cambridge certainly keeps things busy. What are you working on at the moment? #cambridge #phd #studygram #college #guy @cambridgeuniversity @selwyn1882 @kings.college @stjohnscam @clarecollege Seeing my research reach readers across so many countries is one of those moments that makes the long hours feel very real. I’m a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, and this article is my open-access multidisciplinary review on temporal cognition, memory, and how minds make sense of time. It’s linked in my bio and free to read. Tell me where you’re reading from and what you’re working on. #cambridge #phd #studygram #science #academia @cambridgeuniversity @selwyn1882 @frontiersin_ College and river viewsis on a beautiful spring day in my life as a PhD student at the University of Cambridge #phd #mensfashion #college #studygram #darkacademia @cambridgeuniversity @stjohnscam @trincollcam @trinhall_libs @clarecollege @puntingcambridge @selwyn1882 @selwyn.mcr Going to chapel at Selwyn College is one of the more unexpected parts of my life as a gay PhD student, because I did not grow up expecting a place like this to become somewhere I would return to for peace. My sexuality has alway made me uncertain of how welcome I may be in different church settings, which hasn’t been a problem here. Evensong is the service I go to most often, and the music, the quiet, and the ritual help me step out of research stress for a little while and feel grounded again. It is one of the traditions I have really come to value at the University of Cambridge. #phd #student #gay #darkacademia #studygram @selwyn1882 @cambridgeuniversity @lairdhatters My PhD at the University of Cambridge centres around one of the most interesting topics, in my opinion, to study in academia — time! I focus on temporal cognition and perception how we experience and perceive time through the lens of mental time travel, our ability to rember the past and to project into and plan for possible futures, and look at the many things (including language) that can affect it! #student #phd #college #science #time @cambridgeuniversity @kings.college @selwyn1882 @lairdhatters You’re bad memory could be a good thing! The capacity for false memory could be what allows us to imagine and plan for the future. Memory may have evolved with the future in mind.
