In reply to Brynn. There are a few more reflections on their PhD journeys by Language-on-the-Move team members at https://languageonthemove.com/category/research-reflections/. Enjoy! :-)

Oh this is lovely! Very inspiring for someone (read: me) who is considering their own daunting-feeling PhD journey in the near future.

Congratulations Gary and Alex. Alex – thanks for your lovely words, and an added congratulations for adding a very fabulous new hat to your impressive collection 😉

We are so very lucky to have the support that we have, both from the incredible Ingrid, and the valuable network of peers she has brought together around us. I hope we are able to emulate this emphasis on community in our own careers.

Tons of Congrats, Gary and Alex! Hope both will more explore linguistics and enjoy it. Wow, Alex, if you bump someone sketching Sydney uni, please smile at her, te-he. Being an artist, too, is similar to academics, as it tends to be a lone work. Me, too, have learned the importance of having a wise mentor, a good rapport/support system, stress buster techniques and a healthy self-trust or positivism/optimism which eventually helps creativity and turns out good work. Take care and enjoy your journey in linguistics! Best wishes, Sadami

Congratulations, Alex and Gary! You are both such an inspiration! Thanks, Alex, for your speech. It’s still a long road ahead for me, but I can already relate to the peer support and passionate supervision bit. Really grateful for those, too. ^_^ Best of luck on your next journey!
