Just finished my second lecture on #amphibians - this time with the first year students 🐸

I'm starting to become more confident with lecturing, and the students seemed very interested in Tiktaalik! #Herpetology

Just returned from a fantastic weekend at the ARC-BHS Joint Scientific Meeting.

All of the talks were incredible - looking forward to the next one! #Herpetology 🐍

I delivered my first ever lecture today on UK amphibian conservation & habitat management to the third year students 🐸

I definitely stumbled over my words a few times 🙈 but two students came up to me after and said it was a really interesting lecture! #amphibians

Just came home to my first ever Merck pin for my lab coat! 🥼

I'm still hoping I get the Halloween bat pin #merckpins

Back to sequencing parasite DNA today after spending the last three weeks at Newcastle University learning ddRADseq - a next-generation technique that uses two enzymes to cut and sequence targeted genome regions to study genetic variation.

I had a great time networking & learning new lab skills! 👩🏻‍🔬
