Painting our way through the PhD finish line and beyond | The PhD Sketchbook

What does a PhD journey look like when you paint it rather than write it? In their final episode of the series, Tooba and Louise talk about getting a PhD over the finish line, staying motivated in the face of challenges and discuss how they envision their future. You can see the artworks they created during this episode on the UCL IOE student blog [http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/ioe-student-blog/2026/06/25/the-phd-sketchbook-painting-our-way-through-balancing-academia-research-and-personal-life/], and on the IOE Instagram account [https://www.instagram.com/ioelondon/].
