If I hide under here, I can’t be seen

In 2000 Human Genome Sequence almost complete, James Watson kept a book, where for $1 we guessed how many human genes there would actually be. Today Eric Green, recalled this & proudly showed off his entry. But below him, & with a closer estimate, is my name in my own hand 🤗. #IWasThere

40th anniversary of starting work as a research assistant in a London genetics lab. My northern accent isn’t so strong today but I’m still battling imposter syndrome. Have we reduced that feeling yet for younger women, or is it just something we all have to live with ?

Post you from a different era.

Teaching lab skills to Princess Anne c 1986

I feel I should be posting
some profound thinking but instead I’m posting my feelings on what’s likely the last Saturday with my beloved cat, Notch. She’s been on palliative care since early August & we are now close to the end #anticipatory-grief #cat-ladies #caturday

Since this is International Day of Disabled People, my reasonable adjustments are 3 wheels and a battery, what are yours…?

Today I’m mostly doing the Zoe nutrition study. Blue biscuit lunch ahead…. #citizenscience

Covid/boaster brain-fog. Glad it’s #Caturday
