The most elegant diagram to explain what the scientific process and the average research project looks like ✨️
So many side tracks that eventually don't make it into the final story, but are an integral part of the process.

10 years ago, I published my first, first-author paper 🤩
In some ways, it feels like just yesterday and I'm still a baby masters student 🥹
In other ways, it feels like this was 100 years ago 👵
Either way, the joy of seeing your work published never goes away ❤️

Super excited to share our newest paper, out in
Current protocols!
A collab btwn FABI & UCPH, we put together protoplast extraction protocols for 5 different fungal genera! 🍄
With applications for genome editing & long read seq, we hope this will be super useful! 🧪🧬

It's taken a while, but I'm finally trying a #MigraineHat.. 😅
I've been an icepack girlie for a very long time, but this 360° cooling effect is 👌
Not to mention the sound and light dulling effect too 😎

This little plate and its tiny bacteria left me heartbroken on Wednesday evening 💔
After months of planning and preparing, a pre-pilot trial and a pilot trial, I started my large RNAseq experiment last week 🥳
If everything went to plan, I'd be done by 28 March. But biology had other plans... 🧬

The hardest ~35g I've ever worked for 😅🌱
Harvesting roots for this experiment has been a challenge 💪
Turns out that 360g of wet weight barley root = 36g dry weight 😂
But we've got the goods and the pilot experiment is underway!

Hard relate.
Decided not to go for good reasons, but the fomo is still real- especially when I know so many of my favourites fungi people are there! 🍄

Know anything about mycoviruses or fungal plasmids? Come see me at #ECFG17 and help me figure out what this circular element is I keep finding in Ascochyta pathogens of lentil and chickpea.

When you’re chronically ill, it can be incredibly hard to maintain a baseline.
There’s so much pressure to pretend that you’re better. To smile and deliver a convincing “I’m fine”. To play through the pain.
Sometimes the best thing you can do for your body is rest, yet it’s so hard to do:

It's Time to Throw Away the 'Coulda, Woulda, Shouldas' and Practice Radical Rest
When you're chronically ill you can't push your body the way non disabled people do. You have to learn to rest. There's few words more damaging to us than the 'coulda, woulda, shouldas'

Interesting Nature News Feature on Migraine and treatments 🧠
Happy that researchers have recognized that the CGRP meds aren't the be all end all, and that they'll be looking into other pathways too ✨️
Just hope I don't need to wait until I'm 70!

Migraine is more than a headache — a radical rethink offers hope to one billion people
Drugs that can prevent or relieve migraine attacks are only effective for some people. Research is starting to untangle the reasons why.
