Royal Holloway, University of London

Welcome to the Academic Imperfectionist podcast.

I'm Dr. Rebecca Roache, Associate Professor in Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, and coach.

In this podcast, I draw on philosophical analysis and coaching insights to help you dump perfectionism and flourish on your own terms.

Music Hey friends, what do you think of my new theme tune? It was created by my incredibly talented son, Owly, who's 15.

That brings up, what is your academic background at this? Not necessarily where you went to school and all that, but your academic background in studying all this stuff.

Well, I went to first Royal Holloway in London and then St. John's College in Oxford.

And while at college, you develop a lot of relationships with other people in the field.

And that just remained over the years.

And live, what's happening live-wise?

So live, we just had the album launch two weeks ago, but on Thursday we are, I teach at a university called Royal Holloway and they put on these international concert series that kind of feature classical and jazz artists, international artists.

And so we're playing there this Thursday.

Then we have a gig with the full band in Brighton at Folklore Rooms on the 7th of November.

Now, they fortunately have an alarm system, so they say the blood and the products were not compromised, so it's all good, but it is of concern.

Dr. Andrew Dwyer's Lecture in Information Security at Royal Holloway University of London said, and co-lead of the UK Offensive Cyber Working Group.

OK, we know that they're attacking food.

It would appear that they're attacking blood supplies.

But really, why would you be going for refrigeration? Why would you be going for blood? No particular reason, apart from potentially to demonstrate that you can and you can potentially affect food security across Europe.

Dr. Andrew Dwyer, thank you.

You're a lecturer in information security at Royal Holloway University of London, 744.

Susan's in the West Country.

It is a Grade II listed building.

The quad scenes were filmed at Royal Holloway, part of the University of London.

Initially Royal Holloway College, it was opened by Queen Victoria in 1886 as an all-women's school.

It merged with Bedford College in 1985 and became a university in its own right within the University of London system in 2022.

The Founders Building, featured prominently in the episode, is a Grade 1 listed building.

She's a brilliant field naturalist, but she's also passionate about horses.

Amazingly, When she's not guiding wild horses safaris for us or busy with her young family, she's also been studying for a PhD at Royal Holloway College, my old alma mater, at University of London into the impacts of mega herbivores in rewilding.

Somehow, too, she's managed to find time for the Large Herbivore Working Group, which she founded.

And she also sits on the Sussex Beaver Partnership and the South East England Pine Martin Working Group.
