She delivers workshops, training and keynotes internationally on: plain English writing techniques for PhD students and researchers; the PhD rollercoaster; using diaries in qualitative research; communication strategies for non-profits based in developing countries; and open access issues for developing country organisations. Author of feelinghomesick blog, for anyone missing life in the UK while working overseas, and nilamsnet blog, for book reviews (she likes to write the reviews in the page margins in tiny writing).
