Bit jaded from a late night celebrating our transfer viva successes but returning with inner positivity as I actually managed to present to other doctoral students and members of the CEMP team with confidence and clarity.  Massive step change for me.  I hope I have unlocked a metal block/ fear that has lived with me for the last 3 decades. I know the support of the CEMP Team at BU helped me get there/ here. Education really does have the power to affect change.
