I don't think I have ever been more proud of myself, move aside PhD 😂 I give myself a ridiculous theme for each child's birthday cake every year and then spend a few days losing my mind. This year Rowan is into inventing 🤣 can't believe I'll have a 7 year old tomorrow!!

Very pleased to be a LEAF (lab efficiency assessment framework) champion for the lab, trying to make everything we do more sustainable. The lab now has a silver award! @mermanchester.bsky.social @willpjsmith.bsky.social
