Hello. Coming back to the Centre for Academic Communication (CAC) after a year away feels strange. Rather than stepping back into the familiar, welcoming halls of \u00a0the library and sharing laughs with students and tutors, I navigate through the disorienting cyber-space of Zoom meetings and online communication. It\u2019s hard to get my footing here. I feel like an astronaut floating far away from the mother ship. I miss you. But it\u2019s great to be back, and I hope to see you in person soon.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you could share how graduate research and writing has changed for you since the onset of the pandemic. How have you coped? What do you miss most? Have you discovered any unexpected treasures? Or perhaps you\u2019d like to voice some thoughts on developing an academic identity, writing for publication, or attending conferences.\u00a0 Maybe you\u2019d like to review a useful book that helped you with your writing or research. Please browse previous posts to get an idea of the range of writing.<\/p>\n
