	A rough structure could be to use 10 minutes revisiting the first year and then 10 minutes to present the proposal and the thesis outline. In revisiting the first year, ~~you might~~ make a selection of a particular moment or an outcome from each special issue that you find relevant to your project -- maybe a moment when a key question arose, or that gave you insight about something you now want to develop further. You are also welcome to show examples from work outside of the Special Issues if you find them relevant.
